Mildly Offensive Fiber Arts

It's a Facebook group.  It seems to me to be a place where people, mostly women, support each other's creativity and courage (in transgressing social norms).  As group members are often forced to discuss, what makes something offensive-good or offensive-reallybad is very difficult to put into words or agree on...

It's a closed group (join if you want).  There are many crafts included, and much of what's interesting is in the interactions.  But you can see some needlepoint selections HERE, and HERE.

And here's a link I caught, as I soaked in the interwebs: HERE .  (Where are those links you were going to send me, about the variety of forms of relationships???)
