Last month, Michael and I had the opportunity to visit a fascinating vintage clothing exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Entitled, “Death Becomes Her: A Century of Mourning Attire”, it featured an historical progression of mourning attire spanning the years 1840 to 1916. Worn mainly by new widows, other family members, children, sisters, grandmothers, and even men might also dress in black.
These finely constructed, exquisite and expensive garments reflected the current styles of their era; however, with little or no color. I wandered the beautiful yet, somber vignettes studying the artistry ever mindful that a real person had worn the apparel in mourning for a lost loved one.

Making a nuno wrap around and then creating a shibori piece is another option! Sabine decided to do this and worked very hard to get her cobweb design felted into her silk Georgette fabric.
finally-- after being swamped with new big girl job + life, trying to get back into being creative. (information to buy is in my about me)

Received this book today and I did not realize it is a such heavy book. Then the a little higher price than usual has a reason. (but the price is still much lower than what it would be if it was translated in Swedish.. then the price would double!)
Interesting book. Prints definitely were more vibrant and bold (and modern) than you would think. The disadvantage of this book is that the prints are categorized by print types (floral, paisley, geometric.....) instead for chronologically which I would prefer, easier for research.
Little Posey there for the ADAD-ness.

The ocean has so much character - a different mood every day. For this design, I tried to capture the vastness and intensity of rolling waves during a storm. The well-defined lines of the waves were inspired by Japanese woodblock prints.

When designing the textile, think of it as your body of work and what message are you trying to send out to the world? Textile design is amazing because you can take pride in seeing your original artwork displayed on people all over the world!
So fun!

Pictured here is our installation at The Midwives Collective & Gallery show: REDefined.
We designed and handpainted the wallpaper panel (8ftx8ft) as well as the fabrics. The fabrics were first designed on paper, transferred to board and handpainted with gouache, scanned, then set into repeat and digitally printed onto a cotton/linen mix fabric. Then we upholstered a vintage chair and made pillows with these fabrics.
