Occasionally I get swept up in the heat of the moment, especially a moving political moment and feel my crafter self needs to take a stand. I'm so in awe of the fantastically brave punk rock chicks who"ve dared to take on Vladimir Putin the topless cowboy dictator.

How much I adore that the voices demanding democracy, freedom of speech and the separation of church and state happen to be hot 20 year old feminists in robber masks and Go-Go boots.

So today was set aside for busting out freezer paper, hot iron and a whole mess of ink and glitter. It's uncanny that this particular event should happen since I've pretty much always wanted a shirt that said "Free Pussy Riot".

I'm guessing that some of my other Criminal Crafter friends might want to make one too, so I'm posting my template, run with it, make something awesome, post the pictures on line and everywhere.

Nadezhda, Yekaterina, and Maria, you guys are inspiring, so sorry you got the short end of the stick in a corrupt system.
