Especially if we consider ourselves craftivists, I think it can be really inspiring to see the work that other craftivists are doing in a variety of topics, on all sides of an issue. It's one of my plans at some point to do a study of examples of craftivism, and an analysis of these physical works--how a craftivist uses a particular material or skill set on a particular medium to create a particular message, etc. It would also be interesting to do a study of other, applicable forms--activism, fine art, outsider art, political messaging, advertising--and how they could be incorporated into craftivism to better affect the message.

Thanks for putting both sides up. :) Am in the beginning stages, but am putting together photos of craftivism over here: documenting.craftivism.com and would love to have both sides of the political aisle!

Particularly putting in an example from a pro-life group, after seeing how the definition that was being used for craftivism in the other post seemed to indicate more of a liberal stance on such things. Bravo on a well-rounded post! After following the debate in the previous post, I have to say that I really appreciate that you showed examples from crafters on both sides of the issues.
