Craftivism
I think I’ve found a kindred spirit. Check out: the Craftivism blog (word defined as activism + craft). I love finding new words to describe concepts that I have a hard time putting a finger on myself…just having a word to describe something definitely makes it feel more like it really exists.
And so, it seems that I’m not the only one who’s been thinking about how best to mix a hobby in crafts with being socially conscious. Here’s how I’m trying to do it, check out my new site-it-progress…also using the Figmentations heading…to be hosted through Catgen.com (found through bestcommercetools.com).

1) Confessions of a Craft Addict Blog, has a right-side column with a bunch of blog links, one of which is…
2) Portland City Crafty site, which has links to social craft action and activism, which led me to:
3) Craftivism.com. And, I just looked it up and found that this word already even has a Wikipedia entry.
