Batik Mandala Tapestry by Natasha Rose is today’s tutorial. Here is what Natasha says about this video:
“In today’s tutorial I’ll be showing you how to make a mandala tapestry – inspired by the ones you see on Pinterest and in Urban Outfitters! Mandalas are something that I love to draw in my spare time, they’re more than just a “pretty design”- to me its something incredibly calming, and almost meditative to draw 🙂 This video involves a RIDICULOUSLY easy fake batik resist method with flour paste, which anyone can do. Hope you enjoy! ”

Here is what Natasha says about her work:
“Hey! I´m Tash and I make weekly DIY and lifestyle videos. My tagline is “creating a beautiful life”; to me that means an inner and outer process, of living intentionally and consciously, cultivating new perspectives, organisation, making beautiful things, and living proactively instead of reactively.”
“I hope my videos encourage you to create things that make you happy, and to design a lifestyle that is intentional, wholesome, and that brings you joy. Where to begin? Check out my playlists, and pick a category. :)”
“My second channel has extra content that doesn’t fit the niche of this channel – its called morenatasharose http://www.youtube.com/morenatasharose”

According to TED.com : “What should a community do with its unused land? Plant food, of course. With energy and humor, Pam Warhurst tells at the TEDSalon the story of how she and a growing team of volunteers came together to turn plots of unused land into communal vegetable gardens, and to change the narrative of food in their community.”
“Pam Warhurst is the Chair of the Board of the Forestry Commission, which advises on and implements forestry policy in Great Britain. She also cofounded Incredible Edible Todmorden, a local food partnership that encourages community engagement through local growing. Incredible Edible started small, with the planting of a few community herb gardens in Todmorden, and today has spin-offs in the U.S. and Japan. The community has started projects like Every Egg Matters, which educates people on keeping chickens and encourages them to sell eggs to neighbors, and uses a ‘Chicken Map’ to connect consumers and farmers. Incredible Edible Todmorden empowers ordinary people to take control of their communities through active civic engagement. “

For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”
According to TED.com : “While the mega-banks were toppling in early 2009, Juan Enriquez took the stage to say: The really big reboot is yet to come. But don’t look for it on the stock exchange or the political ballot. It’ll come from science labs, and it promises keener bodies and minds. Our kids are going to be … different. “
“A broad thinker who studies the intersections of these fields, Enriquez has a talent for bridging disciplines to build a coherent look ahead. He is the managing director of Excel Venture Management, a life sciences VC firm. He recently published (with Steve Gullans)Â Evolving Ourselves: How Unnatural Selection and Nonrandom Mutation Are Shaping Life on Earth. The book describes a world where humans increasingly shape their environment, themselves and other species.”
“Enriquez is a member of the board of Synthetic Genomics, which recently introduced the smallest synthetic living cell. Called “JCVI-syn 3.0,” it has 473 genes (about half the previous smallest cell). The organism would die if one of the genes is removed. In other words, this is the minimum genetic instruction set for a living organism.”
