In the pre Christmas corset madness it looks like I forgot to post pics of this when I finished it. #Shetland navigation chart #screenprinting on calico fabric then painted a bit and sewn a lot. The coastline of Shetland was particularly tiresome, but worth it in the end!
An embroidery hoop rests on a pale neutral work surface.  In the hoop is a Shetland navigation chart screen-printed faintly onto undyed calico fabric then painted a bit and sewn a lot mostly with running stitch in shades of blue and white  over the sea and back stitch in brown on the coastline of Shetland which is fiddly and wiggly.

Trump is playing geopolitical Monopoly with Greenland
While the term du jour is geopolitics, perhaps the most plausible reason for why Trump is gunning for Greenland is ego-politics.
