Fabrics are believed to have vibrational frequencies that can interact with the human body, and while theres not a universally agreed-upon scale, some fabrics are thought to resonate at higher frequencies than others.
interesting anectdata: of the 7 stores i usually peruse for deals, only 3 are offering sales and all but one have raised the threshold for getting free delivery. ALL OF THEM HAVE RAISED PRICES. none is affiliated with Wonky Luthors website.

3/n And yesterday, we had a treasure box for us volunteers! Pieces too young, too uninteresting, or with damages, too good to give away. Our enthusiastic seamstresses come up with ideas to give the and, above all, hand and a new life. We sell the handmade tote bags, cards and cushions to benefit the .
But before that, we put on a "private" fashion show behind the till (our visitors were distracted by a performance.) We giggled like schoolchildren as we put
2/n of the deceased. And most of it is better off with social distributors. However, restoration is often no longer worthwhile. Biggest problems: Breaks due to creases, rust or mould, stains, and holes (mites, mice, neglect). And the further the 20th century progresses, the worse the materials become. This also applies to synthetic fibres, which emerged in the 19th century (artificial silk): from the plastic age onwards, they disintegrate over time.
FabricsConflicted as I have reached the stage where ideally I want to purge most of the fabrics and bits that have been living with me in my studio for at least 5 years, somethings as much as 20 years But then I am working on a size modification this morning and there was a request to add an embellishment that I just need a .25 m square of white peau de soie to match this existing piece.
And I have it in my bits and offcuts stash.
Tomorrow at the Studio Purge/ Yard Sale I hope to send off many things to new homes- but Ill be taking time later today to sort and keep a selection of pieces for future -just in case- moments
Rachel Halton still doesnt know who made the decision, in October 2022, to summarily decommission the $160,000 that had been a cornerstone of s renowned and courses for 20 years.
Nearly 3 metres high and weighing more than half a tonne, the loom was an intricate machine of polished wood, steel, compressed air and : simultaneously a grand monument to the golden age of the and a modern for weaving strands of into intricate . Halton knew she couldnt let it end up in landfill.
The loom was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and one of only a handful in the world, bought for the universitys campus in the early 2000s, soon after Halton started teaching there. It elevated what you could do as an artist, she says.
Students enrolled just to have access to it. International artists visited especially to weave on it. It became integral to Haltons creative practice.
Watt has a very special affinity with the loom. It isnt just the time she spent working on it at RMIT, or that it sat in her home for months after it was rescued. Shes also been using her coding skills self-taught to update its electronics. Its as though technology is lapping back on itself, given that inspired the basis of .
This is why Australia cant compute.

My fabric arrived! :AirHorn:
The "sand" coloured cotton fabric is definitely paler than the pictures, but I don't mind.
The wool/viscose blend is beautiful and will make an excellent pair of pants and/or a suit jacket. :JustRight:
If I wanted the exact colour I would have been slightly disappointed in the cotton I suppose, but otherwise wastedfabrics.com was a good experience.

NIST: NIST Database Can Help Increase Recycling of Textiles and Clothing. according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2018 around 85% of used clothes and textiles headed to landfills and incinerators, wasting precious resources and polluting our environment. One reason is that recycling can be more expensive than landfilling, so companies have little incentive to recycle.

PAISLEY - whether you call it a pattern, design or motif, its intrigued me since before I could read.
Its been a very long time though since my regular paisley affirmation posts dropped off. It wasnt due to lack of intention but rather, the inability of search engines to pull up new content.
For whatever reason, I have had some fresh success in finding some things to share. I genuinely hope these were written by actual reflecting human beings.
Just keep in mind, like most human endeavours, the story of paisley is more complex than one might think. Competing claims of origin, ownership, colonialism, adaptation, integration and reinterpretation all seem to be there. Ive shared a V&A deconstruction previously, but I will just run through some of the various pieces in these posts.
