joy to the world

We are happily in the lap of a family that chooses to be creative in many diverse ways.

One of three “vagina knot” women designed & sewn by Joy Dabao Akeley

This week's pick at wonder | wander | world is some fine embroidery work of our cousin, Joy Dabao Akeley. Fellow wonder woman, master home maker, embroidery queen.


As featured in our Change Warrior article, she is the creative designer of the "vagina knot". Folks have created a movement wearing pussy hats in protest at Women's Marches. She came up with this genius stitch to recover sanity and power in these uncertain times.


Channeling raw emotions and frustrations. Creatively expressing them in hands on crafting.  Stimulation of senses. Stirring thoughts, emotions, beliefs, ideas.

This is true protest art. This beats off despair and disappointment. This is a potent cure.

May we all find that magical key that will take us to our own higher ground. Be well all.
