Unsworn Web designed and produced www.mobilsyjunta.se - a crafty website for a series of ambulating SMS-embroidery sewing circles.

Slow embroidery and fast tech

Digital communication meets traditional craftmanship in Threads - a mobile sewing circle, a workshop that tours Swedish rural community centres throughout 2010-2012.

www.mobilsyjunta.se is the online extension of the sewing circles. It documents what is produced in the workshops, offers new trajectories through the material, and invite others to share their SMS-embroideries.

Collaborative development

The site was developed in close collaboration with initiators Åsa Ståhl and Kristina Lindström and producers Swedish Travelling Exhibitions. This allowed us to design a site that tightly integrates with the pyshical exhibition series.

Behind the eternal clotheslines a heavily customised WordPress installation powers the site. We created fresh plugins to allow a new type of “thread-based” navigation as well as custom uploads of SMS-embroideries from the web and mobile phones.

Unsworn Web redesigned slapsticky strip-site.

If you’re into the darkest yellows of bana-skid comedy (and understand some Swedish) you will certainly feel at home at www.slapstick-comics.se - the latest creation of comedian Simon Svensson and illustrator Jimmy Wallin.

Unsworn Web helped out with the redesign of the Slapstick site. We used the Wordpress-platform to make it easy to subsribe to comic strips through RSS, as well as providing simple publishing functionality for the comic creators.
