I asked my wife "What is vibrant?" and she said "the new rug!" She and her friend next door like to check out the consignment shops. They found this rug with a price tag of $3000. It was hand woven by Zapotec Indians. But when they opened it up it was full of moths. The woman said "Eww take it out of my shop" so she brought it home and washed out all the moth eggs, and here it is hanging on the clothesline.
She figured that no one would want to buy a rug full of moth holes, so perhaps the owner might consider a much lower price. My wife does dying with natural dyes so she could match the colors here, which you couldn't do with modern yarn. She's not going to reweave it, but at least she could fill in the holes.
So now we want to know if the owner is willing to come down on the price, because who's going to buy a rug full of big old moth-holes?

Un Ragno su un cancello,
un giorno che fa?
Tesse e ritesse la sua strampalata tela.
E un Mattino sonnacchioso cosa fa?
Decora con goccioline la sua tela.
E l' Inverno infreddolito cosa fa?
Con una carezza tutto quanto
Fa brillar.

A Spider on a gate,
what does it do one day?
It weaves and reweaves
its rambling web.
And on a drowsy Morning,
what does it do?
It decorates its web
with tiny drops of dew.
And the shivering Winter,
what does it do?
With one gentle caress,
it makes everything shine through.

'For the first time in over 40 years, visitors at Saltram can enjoy the Saloon as intended after the spectacular carpet was recreated by Axminster Carpets, whose founder wove the original in 1770
The skill that's gone into the re-weave project is remarkable with @AxminsterUK rebuilding its largest loom to accommodate the vast carpet, and @linney_cooper expertly hand finishing and installing the final carpet in the Saloon
The reweave is the final stage of a major Saloon conservation project which began in 2017 and was funded by the National Trust and Wolfson Foundation @wolfsonfdn.' - @NTSouthWest - [NTSouthWest]

Cane has a few breaks, which add to the character. I love this chair EXACTLY as is, but you can also reweave it to mint condition.
House of Moda have been reweaving, recycling and reigniting the connection between fashion, parties and the underground Paris scene for a year and a half now. For their event on March 30 at la Java, they called on me to take photos of the clubbers, posing them as a very special version of the ‘Classe Mannequin’ (Think ‘Melrose Place’ or ‘90210’, but about teenaged models and French).

"Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man." -- Vladimir Nabokov.
Today's edition of the NYT Science Times is all about our changing understanding of how life is shaped by evolution, including the intricate patterns on butterfly wings. For an annotated guide to the articles, see my blog Letter from Here. (Photographed at at the Bolz Conservatory, Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison, WI.)
For more about the interconnection between Nabokov's literary creations and his work as an entomologist, see this earlier post in my blog Letter from Here. Nabokov knew all about reweaving the rainbow.

I was very pleased with how this shot turned out, as the light was tricky, this shot, apart from a slight crop was straight out of camera.
The story behind the exhibition is explained in the description of the previous photo.
karenmclean.co.uk/work/stitching-souls-threads-of-silence
"The installation juxtaposes these carefully quilted heads with grand gold-framed replicas of merchant portraits and empty gilded frames. The towering replica portraits exude power and self-importance, reflecting the wealth and grandeur these men sought to immortalise. Yet the true nature of how their wealth was built on the suffering and exploitation of enslaved Africans has been obscured and ignored in historical narratives. The replicas highlight the layers of contradiction and hypocrisy inherent in their public personas. The decision to include empty frames alongside these portraits symbolises the silences and absences in these narratives. They reflect the inaccessibility of these merchants, their presence confined to spaces that still celebrate their success while hiding the truth of their origins. The silences mirrored here in these empty frames challenge the viewers to question the narratives we preserve and those we overlook.
“Stitching Souls: Threads of Silence” is an installation that honours and memorialises the lives lost as well as an act of reclamation and justice. It invites viewers to reckon with the legacies of slavery and those who profited from it. By honouring the victims, this work seeks to reweave the threads of history into a more truthful narrative, transforming this work of art into a vessel of healing, reminding us that the stories of the past remain stitched into the fabric of our present."

Goddard Seminary, Class of 1923, Barre, Vermont
Photo: Goddard College Archives
“To anyone who has observed Goddard College for any period of time, two facts stand out: it is continually changing; it is ever the same. Few, however, realize just how long Goddard has been reweaving new vestments from the same threads of belief.
“The Seminary was established by Universalists in order to prepare young men and women to go to college, especially Tufts, which was at the time a Universalist college. The Universalists, who merged with the Unitarians in 1960, were and are radical freethinkers. They stressed the inherent dignity and trustworthiness of human beings, the equality of the sexes, the freedom to reach individual interpretations, the tolerance and appreciation of diversity, and the continual modification of beliefs to accords with the discoveries of reason and science.
“This kind of thinking, applied to education, resulted in the Goddard Seminary, a school that views students as ‘Trustworthy individuals’ and whose goal was to produce graduates who would ‘Do Good in All the State.’”
Doug North, Former Director of Development

The enthroned and bearded personification of Honor receives the victor's laurel crown from Virtue and Victory. Majesty and Respect sit like handmaidens at Honor's feet, and the most lauded rulers of history, each identified by name, flank his throne; below are ten virtuous women, plucked from mythology, the Bible and more recent apocryphal histories. The central scribe peruses the list of Honor's celebrants, whilst in the foreground an unruly mob of historical and literary protagonists beseige Honor's pavilion.
This tapestry was part of a seven-piece set presenting an allegorical guide to the qualities which a successful ruler should espouse. The set was made for Cardinal Erard de la Marck (1472–1538), Prince-Bishop of Liège, and loyal envoy and financial backer of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.
Signatures, Inscriptions, and Markings
Inscription: Names of characters, in Latin, at center, top: VICTUS (probably a misreading at cartoon or weaving stage for VIRTUS- Virtue); MAIESTAS (Majesty); REVER[N]TIA (Respect); VICTORIA (Victory).
Top tier of rulers, inscribed left to right: GODEEREDUS BUHONIUS (Godfrey of Bouillon); S. LODOVICUS (Louis IX of France); CAROL MAGN (Charlemagne); CONSTANTINUS (Emperor Constantine); DAVID (King David); OCTAVIUS (Emperor Augustus); ABRAM (Abraham); ALEXANDER MAGN (Alexander the Great).
Second tier of virtuous females: FLORE[N]TIA ROMITIA (Florence of Rome); PENELOPE (Penelope); SOMRAMIS (Semiramis); HELENA (Empress Helena); HESTER (Esther); DEBORA (the prophet Deborah); SABA (Queen of Sheba); ASIA (the continent Asia, at this time iconographically associated with the spread of Fame).
Mounting the steps to enter Honor’s pavilion are, at the left, SERTORIUS (General Sertorius) and MARCELLA (Consul Marcellus), crowned by DIGNITE (Dignity) and TRIU[M]PH (Triumph); at the right, PHOCAS (Phocias) and PHUS (unidentifiable) welcome two additional unnamed protagonists.
At upper corners: NATURA (Nature); SCRIPTRAS (Scripture).
Amongst the foreground proragonists are: IORAM (Joram), IULIANUS APOSTATA (Julian the Apostate), JEROBOAM (Jereboam), HELENA (Helen of Troy) and PARIS (Paris), TARQUIN (Sextus Tarquinius), MELISA (probably an error due to reweaving of MEDUSA), IEZEBEL (Jezebel), NERO (Emperor Nero), MARCUS ANTONI (Mark Anthony), HOLOFERNES (Holofernes) and SARDANAPALUS (King Sardanapalus)
Three inscriptions in cartouches along the uppermost register of the border: “QUISQUIS UT AD CLARUM STUDIOSUS SCANDAT HONOREM / NATURA ASSIDUIS PROVOCAT ALMA TUBIS” (“Generous nature urges with constant trumpets / Anyone to ascend zealously to glorious Honor”); “CANDIDA QUOS MISIT VIRTUS HONOR ARCE RECEPTANS / LAUREAT AMBITIO QUOS TULIT INDE FUGAT” (“Those whom shining Virtue sent, Honor receives and crowns in the citadel. Those whom Ambition inspired, he makes flee from there”); “SEDULO DOCTA IUBET MODULIS SCRIPTURA DISERTIS / NE QUIS HONORIPAROS TARDET INITRE LARES” (“Scholarly Scriptura ordains with skillful means measures that no one should delay to enter the house of Honor”).
La personificazione in trono e barbuto di Honor riceve la corona d'alloro del vincitore da Virtue and Victory. Maestà e rispetto siedono come ancelle ai piedi di Onore, ei più lodati regnanti della storia, ciascuno identificato dal nome, fiancheggiano il suo trono; sotto ci sono dieci donne virtuose, strappate alla mitologia, alla Bibbia e alle più recenti storie apocrife. Lo scriba centrale esamina la lista dei celebranti di Honor, mentre in primo piano una folla indisciplinata di protagonisti storici e letterari blocca il padiglione di Honor.
Questo arazzo faceva parte di un set di sette pezzi che presentava una guida allegorica alle qualità che un governante di successo dovrebbe sposare. Il set è stato fatto per il cardinale Erard de la Marck (1472-1538), principe-vescovo di Liegi, e inviato leale e finanziatore del Sacro Romano Imperatore Carlo V.
Firme, iscrizioni e segni
Iscrizione: Nomi di personaggi, in latino, al centro, in alto: VICTUS (probabilmente una lettura errata del cartone animato o del palcoscenico per VIRTUS- Virtù); MAIESTAS (Maestà); REVER [N] TIA (Rispetto); VICTORIA (vittoria).
Top livello di sovrani, inscritto da sinistra a destra: GODEEREDUS BUHONIUS (Godfrey of Bouillon); S. LODOVICUS (Luigi IX di Francia); CAROL MAGN (Carlo Magno); COSTANTINO (imperatore Costantino); DAVID (King David); Ottaviano (imperatore Augusto); ABRAM (Abraham); ALEXANDER MAGN (Alessandro Magno).
Secondo livello di femmine virtuose: FLORE [N] TIA ROMITIA (Firenze di Roma); PENELOPE (Penelope); SOMRAMIS (Semiramis); HELENA (Imperatrice Elena); HESTER (Esther); DEBORA (il profeta Deborah); SABA (Regina di Saba); ASIA (il continente asiatico, in questo momento iconograficamente associato alla diffusione di Fame).
I passi per entrare nel padiglione di Honor sono, a sinistra, SERTORIUS (generale Sertorius) e MARCELLA (console Marcello), incoronati da DIGNITE (Dignity) e TRIU [M] PH (Triumph); a destra, PHOCAS (Phocias) e PHUS (non identificabili) danno il benvenuto a due altri protagonisti senza nome.
Agli angoli superiori: NATURA (natura); SCRIPTRAS (Scrittura).
Tra i proragonisti in primo piano ci sono: IORAM (Joram), IULIANUS APOSTATA (Julian the Apostate), JEROBOAM (Jereboam), HELENA (Helen of Troy) e PARIS (Parigi), TARQUIN (Sextus Tarquinius), MELISA (probabilmente un errore dovuto al riavvolgimento di MEDUSA), IEZEBEL (Jezebel), NERO (Imperatore Nerone), MARCUS ANTONI (Mark Anthony), HOLOFERNES (Oloferne) e SARDANAPALUS (Re Sardanapalus)
Tre iscrizioni in cartiglio lungo il registro superiore del confine: "QUISQUIS UT AD CLARUM STUDIOSUS SCANDAT HONOREM / NATURA ASSIDUIS PROVOCAT ALMA TUBIS" ("La natura generosa spinge con trombe costanti / Chiunque ascenda zelantemente al glorioso Onore"); "CANDIDA QUOS MISIT VIRTUS HONOR ARCE RECEPTANS / LAUREAT AMBITIO QUOS TULIT INDE FUGAT" ("Coloro che brillano di virtù, Honor riceve e incorona nella cittadella, quelli che l'ambizione ha ispirato, fugge da lì"); "SEDULO DOCTA IUBET MODULIS SCRIPTURA DISERTIS / NE QUIS HONORIPAROS TARDET INITRE LARES" ("La Scriptura ordinata con mezzi abili misura che nessuno dovrebbe ritardare per entrare nella casa d'onore")

I had been waiting for the right brunette UL to come along (as I thought I’d only get the one though I now have 3 – unintentionally!). Was intending on getting one with charcoal eye make up but when I saw her picture I knew that she was the one. Isn’t she divine? She does need her hair to be reweaved but apart from that she fantastic. Thanks Tarsha! I love her.
