#NationalEmbroideryMonth

ALT ALT ALT “ I went back to my favorite shape of thread structure radiating from the middle. The energy, or emotion gets concentrated into the middle forming a stream of red thread. To me, it is a shape of maternal love, or representation of life in nature. If you see a tree from top, this is how the branches look like. If we could see a tree root from the very bottom, it is the same. So as a structure of a female organs such as breasts and placenta .” – Rima Day on Scriptum XXII Rima Day uses thread, fabric, and paper to create artwork that is inspired by nature and the human body. Day studied fashion design both in her native city of Tokyo, Japan and later in New York City and worked as a freelance custom ballet costumer in New York City and Connecticut. Her skills as a fashion designer are evident in her beautifully hand-stitched artist’s book. This is our third post in honor of National Embroidery Month !

FAQs National Embroidery Month February 2021

National Embroidery Month FAQ s How is embroidery relevant today, besides logos for companies? We 19d suggest checking out Pinterest and Instagram for examples of how artists are expanding boundaries and crossing genres using the needle and thread. One man, James T. Merry, has been featured in 1CThe Guardian 1D for his ability to marry ultra-corporate logos with organic embroidery, for example, a beautiful daisy blooming out of the Nike 1Cswoosh, 1D down to the flower 19s tendrils and roots. This dramatic juxtaposition is just one modern use of ancient art. Where 19s the best place online or in person to get supplies? The national chain crafts stores like 1CMichaels 1D and 1CJO-ANN Fabrics 1D are longtime suppliers of exactly the kind of tools, manuals and kits you 19ll need. If you 19d rather have items shipped to you, we recommend doing a simple 1CAmazon 1D search by seller or item ranking. Be savvy, and you 19ll end up with top-quality supplies at very reasonable rates. Is it possible to make a living embroidering? We 19ve always believed in the age-old advice, 1CDo what you love and the money will follow, 1D though that level of faith in yourself and the universe can seem hard to maintain for the first few months or years. It helps, even before you 19ve established your skill level and started to branch out to selling to friends and acquaintances, to draw up and strictly keep both a budget and a daily schedule, down to the hour or even half-hour. During National Embroidery Month, this and every February, we 19re taking a moment to appreciate an art that 19s perhaps been underestimated, or at least underpublicized. Embroidery, the art of decorating fabric with needle and thread, has a vast and varied history, and still maintains a strong following of crafters today. Everyone has seen examples. From name labels on the breasts of work polos, to military insignia on veterans 19 hats, to the old jean jacket your favorite aunt put the design on by hand, it seems as though almost everything in the world of fashion is embroidered, or well could be 13 and embroiderers today are able to create just about any design. Though most commercial embroidery is now done by computerized machine, the craft itself is believed to date back to 30,000 B.C. Cro-Magnon men and women, according to reports of an archaeological discovery, used fibrous plant threads and the sinews of animals to sew intricate rows of ivory, shells, and other materials to their various coverings and clothing. Other discoveries reported from Siberia and locations near there, as well as from Egypt, show embroidery used not only as decoration, but as a historical record and as a sign of social status.

ALT ALT ALT ALT The art of embroidery in Palestine, practices, skills, knowledge, and rituals was inscribed into UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2021. According to the Nomination file No. 01722 for inscription in 2021 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, it was described as: “The art of embroidery is widespread in all cities, villages, and camps of Palestine, and is rooted there since the Canaanite era. The Palestinian embroidery was affected by the multiplicity of places in which it originated or moved to and due to the inter-cultural process after the exodus of the Palestinians in 1948, but the style and method of embroidery remained the same. Palestinian women carried their embroidery art with them to their places of refuge in all parts of the world as a symbol of national identity and pride. In view of the development in the means of communication and outreach, embroidery has become widespread and influential in neighbouring countries, as it has taken modern patterns while retaining the known traditional form that is distinguished from the rest of the forms of embroidery in the world as it carries the story of Palestinian women and summarizes their style and their relationship to land and life.” February is National Embroidery Month . We want to highlight this beautiful heritage of embroidery in Palestine, amid destruction of cultural and historical heritage sites in Gaza. According to an article on the Guardian on February 4th, more than 200 buildings of cultural or historical significance have been destroyed in Gaza. Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery, “fallahi” comes from the word “fallaha” which means farm woman, because it was embroidered mostly by village women.

ALT ALT ALT February is also National Embroidery Month , and we’re excited to show you some cool items we have in the Special Collections. The first one is a hand-embroidered canvas book made by Candace Hicks who collects coincidences from the books she reads and gathers them in her artists’ books and installations. Hicks created a variant series of hand-embroidered books, copying the form and design of dime-store “composition” books. In this volume, Hicks kept a record of coincidences in the books she was reading and noted every time the word “coincidence” occurred. Common threads : Volume 28 Hicks, Candace [Austin, Tex. : C.

National Embroidery Month in February recognizes the talented stitchers who put needle and thread into an art form. Since ancient times, humans have left their mark on textiles with colorful threads. Some created elaborate works of art woven into tapestries. Others made ceremonial attire for warriors, priests and the betrothed. Over time, embroidery retained its creative expression but also served a commercial purpose, too. Elegant monograms identified business logos cleanly and beautifully. Bold artwork stood out on jackets and caps. And still, in the arts and crafts world, embroidery filled the niche handmade items and artwork that commercial embroidery just doesn’t create. Two of the best embroidery skills celebrated together. #nationalembroiderymonth #workingmon #DIY #crafts #blanks #crafter #embroidersofinstagram #handembroidery #handembroideryart #diycrafts #quilting #quiltinglife #quiltingsupplies #tailors #tailoring #craftsbusiness #embroidery #sewing #sewingbusiness #sewingsupplies #sewinginspirations #machineembroidery #machineembroiderydesigns #embroideryblanks #machineembroideryart #entrepeneurwomen #smallbusinessowner #femaleentrepeneurs #fashionstudents #blanksforcrafters https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzlcT3AYSk/?igshid=1bm1qgsidfzh9
