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.

The whole photoshoot takes place in Kyoto, we have been using some restaurant for the indoor shots, and the area around Kamogawa for the shots outside! I am using Shoot-through umbrella as main light for the indoor shots!
Strobist info:
I will insert later the individual lighting information of each shot later, can't upload it as a batch! Also later this month after my new Wordpress based homepage is completed I will have an article about the photos there!

An experiment with textile made from jute...coloured by Golden high flow acrylic and then I use some white linen thread to sew in and out to make some different patterns....a bit different than linen textile...
Here is the back of a fabulous huipil from Santa Maria Yucunicoco, Oaxaca. The satin ribbons are meant to hang down the woman's back. Centro Cultural San Pablo
vintage sheets found thrifting today, along with some sunburst granny squares whipped up since last night.
I loved the medina in Tangier. There was so much to see and shoot. People working with their hands were everywhere. Textiles are a big business here.
Nice detail of textile that i took from famous traditional textile shop. It gave me wonderful result that I didn't expect. Enjoy!

I had a meeting with a textile artist from Skien. She's here explaining me about the latest product she's made.
For you who can't quite see what it is, it's a woven "carpet" that represents a world map. Its woven in the colors green, yellow, brown and white. The plumb blue lines are the latitudes.
It was a fantastic peace of art.
Best viewed large!

Nasca, Mantle ("The Paracas Textile"), 100-300 C.E., cotton, camelid fiber, 58-1/4 x 24-1/2 inches / 148 x 62.2 cm, found south coast, Paracas, Peru (Brooklyn Museum)
My sister and I went to the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show in Scottsdale, Arizona. Well, dummy me, I forgot my SD card for the camera. So the only shot I got was this one in camera. Needless to say, I was the typical photographer forgetting film (SD Card) or not having enough batteries. You know the drill. Dumb move. I was kicking myself all the way home. So much for testing this camera. My only saving grace was the light was so bright that the shots outdoors would be terrible due to it being so bright. Well, maybe.

Like many textile artists I find that if I produce items for sale, the cost of production (which includes the time dyeing the fabric, painting the image and then stitching and assembling) rarely results in an economic price. This is one of the reasons why I don't often make things to sell.
In a fit of madness I have agreed to do an exhibition where I am required to do just that.
I took the decision to make just a few items which is why I have been happily making rather large and elaborate pin cushions. These will have to be priced realistically, so in order to have some pieces which will be more affordable I have copied the image of Margaret Thatcher from a previous pin cushion and transfered the image using T shirt transfer paper. This means that I can produce smaller and more easily assembled items and thus charge less. One down and three to go, and already I'm bored ( and it shows). There is no pleasure in mass production which is why I avoid it at all costs.
I have a split personality when it comes to quilting. I love modern quilt fabrics such as Denyse Schmidt and Heather Ross, along with current day Japanese textiles from Suzuko Koseki, and Kumiko Fujita. At the same time I'm obsessed with vintage/antique Japanese cottons....mostly indigos. Quite tough on the wallet! After four years I finally gathered enough indigos and completed my Shizuko Kuroha quilt. Given another chance I would have organized the flow of color into a pattern. But as it is, I was stuck with adding a few triangles each week as they arrived in the mail from ebay auctions. The quilt is 108" x 110" which has made it impossible for me to get a good photo. I wish I could capture all the wonderful patterns. For anyone who hasn't experienced antique Japanese fabrics...it's fascinating when you know that many are hand spun, hand dyed, and hand woven. And as a testament in this quilt, still strong after 100 years.
