Abandoned textile mill (1851-2004)

Schlafhorst was a producer of textile machines in Mönichgladbach (Germany). Wilhelm Schlafhorst founded the company in the early 1880s. The company employed 5000 people in 1991. The company was then sold to the Swiss group Saurer, whereupon the decline began. In 2007, the Oerlikon group, also from Switzerland, took over the company, which at the time employed about 1000 people.

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.

Macro Mondays Cloth/Textile Theme

Abandoned Textile Mill A. (1851-2004)

One of the few remaining large textile machines still to be found at the place of their operation. Once dozens of such units oparated in every factory in Lodz - now they are few and far between. For this reason I am very satisfied to have found this beauty and make some shots of it (along with some of her girlfriends from the same location).

8. Tempting Texture

Getting use to the buttons and wheels on my new camera by shooting objects around the house and in the house. I really liked the way this silk rose came out! I hope you do too. I liked the fact that you can see tiny patterns on some of the petals.

( A special thank you to all of my MM friends!!)

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-)

Our local museum has a marvellous small display which every few months features a different collection, made by someone living in the area. Last month it was staplers - yup - you heard that right! Today there was a collection of over 100 textiles, collected by a woman who has lived and worked in 43 different countries.

Hope Silk Mill, Leek was extended in 1928-1929 in an Art deco style and it is this section that has survived. The mill is still used in the textile trade, being occupied by a business manufacturing specialist sports wear such as rugby shirts.
