Kikuyu textile macro

"For this challenge ... I want to see photos of cloth as a textile: something that is generally woven, felted, or knitted; and used for garments, upholstery, and many other items. I understand that yarn, silk, floss, thread and fibers are considered textiles, but they will not be accepted for this theme unless they have been woven, felted or knitted into cloth."

-- Janet Towbin, admin and textile designer .

 

Janet also linked a video about Ann Hamilton, who states:

"There are very few times in our lives when we are not touching cloth. Cloth is the hand that is always surrounding us. It's our constant companion."

 

My Cloth/Textile Gallery

 

This is part of a long piece of fabric my sister brought back from Kenya. I cropped it as well as first taking a close macro shot. The D810 has about a 7250 pixel width. Bit of a memory hog ;)

 

Thanks for looking!
