Local market in Antigua, Guatemala.
Textiles is perhaps Guatemala's best-known and most popular artisanal activity; It is also one of the most important export products in the country. The most popular fabrics are produced by indigenous women, creating intricate designs with multiple colors; but in general, typical fabrics are produced by both, women and men, women use the traditional back-strap loom with wooden sticks, while men use a big pedal loom to produce them.

simple notebook decorations with our handmade paper and vintage textiles -- great fun finding the 'right' couples
for once ... I've made something for me exclusively
... a stone pendant with a torn & braided floral print necklace
... two bracelets made with two "flaps" that were inside a pair of trousers (which could turn them into shorter trousers / pantashorts... see what I mean ?) The button holes were already made, I only sewed a bit of torn floral print & a button
my inspiration for the necklace comes from Margie of course ... you can find her tutorial (from July 14th 2009) here
experimenting with gold and silver leaf, as small additions to the recent paper jewelry=textile cookies...especially broken pottery pieces will get such 'real precious metal' highlights
the cover to a scrapbook I recently made for my textile design class. originally it was just going to be the image on the front, but I decided to add more muslin and cardboard and paper and convert it to a scrapbook. So fun to make!
After observing the decaying, painted qualities of buildings during a trip across North India, I decided to explore the theme of ‘Degraded Textures’ in my final collection of woven textiles. With the help of The Gillian Purvis Trust, I visited the TextielLab in The Netherlands during August 2015 to see the production of large-scale jacquards and collections of contemporary woven homeware textiles. Further analysis of fabric collections by contemporary interior brands such as Bute Fabrics and Kvadrat fuelled my interest in designing a range of luxury textiles for contemporary interiors. The fine artist and designer, Bernat Klein, has also been a key influence on my creative process after observing how he translated textures from his paintings into choices of yarn, colour and repeat patterns for interior woven fabrics. My collection of woven fabrics inspired by ‘Degraded Textures’ contains a range of luxury plain, twill and corduroy structures with textures such as fluffy silk mohair, rippled chenille and silk bouclé. These are contrasted with the painted appearance of dipped latex mohair, multicolour fancy silk yarns and compacted elastic shapes on block pattern jacquards. Morton, Young and Borland Textiles, a specialist woven lace company, kindly manufactured some of my repeat pattern designs into sheer madras lace fabrics that complement my collection of dense, textured jacquard and dobby cloths.

This rug was made as a wedding present for Sarah and Danny. It's made from 72 men's ties, all bought from charity shops. It took me ages to collect the ties in colours of passion, but was worth the effort. Can't wait to make another one like this for myself!
among older pieces, a new series of pendants made with textile clay... cotton and hemp become pulp, mixed with glues become clay... I still love this material, enjoy experimenting --

Textiles, Metal Wire
For this project I was inspired by the sails of the boats, large pieces of fabric that change depending on the wind.
I experimented with creating a pieces of textiles that would be easily malleable by hand. I explored knitting and crochet different fabric together, and then I found using metal wire it can be malleable and it would keep the shape. I then explored weaving the metal wire, and it was effective. The wire made the shapes be malleable and strong.
