Community Cast Video Day 91

91 day…. 13 weeks….. Approx 100 videos…. Today’s video wraps up my Community Cast Video Series.

I want to thank everyone who has watched, be it from the beginning or later on, be it every day or as you could. I truly hope these videos helped make the last few months easier, even if it was just a momentary distraction.

From the beginning, I knew I wanted these to be as real as possible, reflecting in the moment where I was at. No make-up, bra-less much of the time, and even PJs. All of the videos have been uncut, with only a handful of re-recordings when I completely messed up or got lost in thought.

Don’t worry. The summer series starts Monday. Tomorrow, I may or may not share a video from my museum stroll. It will be in the moment that I will decide. Sunday, I have some flashback videos for you. Then Monday I will introduce the new series with Millinery Monday.

If you have requests for any of the theme days, please send me those in the comments. I will be covering Millinery, my Dolls, Whimsies, and Show’n’tell through June, July, and August.

Community Cast Video Day 87

Today’s video takes a look at my earlier straw sewing and my learning curve.

As the video uploads, I am worried I didn’t say Kim Lynch’s name when I showed the bonnet made from her pattern.

For the transition from the Community Cast to the Summer Video Series (name?), I need feedback on the transition timing, how important weekend content is in light of canceled events, and types of projects. Currently, I am planning on:

  • Millinery Monday
  • Tuesday – Doll day?
  • Whimsey Wednesday
  • Thursday – Maker/merchant day
  • Friday – Show’n’tell
  • Weekend – Project or ???

Today’s video focuses on learning and understanding.

Please take some time to visit Interpretive Challenges to find “A New Freedom Summer and Beyond Reading List” This list was compiled for readers “who are interested in the struggles, successes, failures of Black people to be treated with dignity and humanity.”

One of the books added to my Amazon list The Intimate Economy: Enslaved Women, Work, and America’s Domestic Slave Trade.
