Tiny Pricks Project

[Floyd R. Turbo]

When Victoria artist Diana Weymar started hand-stitching the words of U.S. President Donald Trump onto textiles in early 2018, she had no idea she was starting a collection that would attract submissions from people around the world.

What started as a personal act of protest has grown into a collection of more than 1,200 pieces mailed to Weymar by people from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia, all featuring a quotation from the 45th president of the United States.

Some people take their work a step further, stitching their own images of the president. One person is currently working on a series of handmade ties onto which she will stitch quotations.

Weymar started the collection on Jan. 8, 2018, when she stitched “I am a very stable genius” into a piece of her grandmother’s needlework.
