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.

Some urban exploration. This has always been one of my favourite types of photography. I hope you enjoy these photo's as much as I did taking & editing them. This abandoned building, once a textile factory will soon be demolished and new developments will take its place. I'm glad I got to explore and see these wonderful works of art before that happens :')

to have somthing to post on flickr, i'd shoot the shirt off my back.
(a greater trick, i guess, would be to photograph the shirt on my back)

Detailed in the drawing are Conus Marmoreus (Black and white shell - 'Marble Cone'), Conus Disambiguation (Red Shell - 'Textile Cone')
The marbled cone is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conidae, the cone snails, cone shells or cones. This is a species which is believed to feed mostly on marine molluscs including other cone snails. This snail is venomous, like all cone snails, and occurs in the Indian Ocean off Chagos and Madagascar, in the Bay of Bengal off India, in the western part of the Pacific Ocean to Fiji and the Marshall Islands, and off Australi (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia).
The textile cone shell has an irregular shingle-like pattern. It feeds on other molluscs which it immobilises by injecting a powerful venom with a harpoon-like tooth. The strength of this venom varies according to the type of prey the cone targets. Fish eaters have the strongest venom whereas those that eat worms do not need the same toxicity. Growing to 10 cm, the textile cone is highly dangerous to humans and should not be handled whatsoever. It is found in tropical waters of the Indo-west Pacific.

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

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!
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
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 --

The challenge:
This week we’re going to look for inspiration in textiles. To be clear, I am using a very broad definition of textiles to include: fabric, yarn, thread and/or anything made with those three elements.
My process:
I had a hard time with this challenge theme because I had too many choices and couldn't decide what I wanted to shoot. An old, ragged quilt that I remember from my childhood? Any number of pieces of handiwork from indigenous tribes in Vietnam, Thailand or the Philippines? A more modern quilt made from my own fabric design? An abstract of a super snuggly fleece blanket that I love wrapping myself up in? A beautiful knitted-lace shawl gifted from a friend? The pile of fabric on my studio table for making face masks?
I hemmed (no pun intended) and I hawed and finally last night I decided to take a photo of the stacks of folded fabric in my quilting stash. And then I played around making kaleidoscopes from those images. I had a lot of fun with it, but then I didn't post last night because I didn't feel like I had put enough effort into it. (I know, I know... I'm still working on letting go of the belief that I have to work hard at something for it to have any value.)
But when I pulled up the image just now it popped out at me, so I was inspired to post it.
Karina has recently chalenged me to be a part of her 'textile letters' project. i was thrilled, of course. her letter was pure poetry. i loved it Karina! mine is on the way!
