Another example of my textiles sketchbook, the two large head sketches are my own work, inspired by the two photographs to the side. There is also examples of my stitch work as the background and some of the pieces shown.
J T and J Taylor, the largest woollen manufacturers in Batley developed an extensive business in the nineteenth cewntury with several mills. Early 20th-century prosperity led to the construction of this very large mill (five storeys, twenty-five bays) in 1912-13 It was probably electrically powered. Today it has been converted to apartments.
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 :')

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.

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 --

Organic materials are unbelievably well preserved in Egyptian desert sites. A fragment of an ancient textile lying among pottery outside the Wadi al-Dush fortification is probably more than a millennium old, from the Roman or Coptic phases of occupation.
