WRAPPED: THE OBJECT SPEAKS an artistic activation of discarded, broken artifacts and stories untangled

Judith says: We've talked about material, mordants, leaves, and now we are on to the cooking process. The first step is getting the leaves and the material into the pot. The rule is that the leaves and the material need to be in firm contact. After that rule almost anything goes. Colour Ecology has a very nice post with pictures and instructions for bundling. Kathy Beckett just finished a workshop with India Flint and had to try and document her attempt. Colour Ecology folds her between boards then clamps them. Becca Imbur also rolls and ties. Notice the top one that looks like it maybe has a catalpa seed pod sticking out or it might just be a stick. Threadborne wraps hers with copper to get that blue green color. Lynda at BloomBakeCreate has been a guest artist on the Fire blog. She has a nice post on eco-printing and two different types of bundles. Notice she is also using a copper pipe to wrap her fabric around and then is printing on paper with her flat bundle. I personally have used the wrap-around-a-stick-or-copper-pipe method then using twine to hold the bundle tight. I like a thicker twine for the strength. I made the mistake once of using yarn which stretches when it is wet. So not a good idea. I have also experimented with colored twine and depending on the twine it can leave a very nice mark on the fabric. Amelia Poole recommends using dowel rods wrapped in a plastic wrap as the center of the wrapped bundle so that the wood does not alter the color of the leaves. Personally I like the more natural approach and use some almost straight sticks from my trees cut short enough to fit in my pot. Do be aware that my sticks will give a less predictable result than Amelia's more controlled approach.

Our Hand Rolled Rope Incense is fair trade, from Nepal. It is created in small batches, hand made by women artisans, who keep ancient techniques and practices alive. The bundles are wrapped in our Rochester, NY studio. Every bundle has a unique look, no two are exactly alike, though each scent is packaged in only one color. Each one is wrapped in vintage yarn and fabric that is purchased from a local non-profit which sells vintage and deadstock sewing and crafting materials, where proceeds go back to the community, providing sewing and textile-based classes, as well as job training.

Diane Cooper's subtle use of materials was inspired by Japanese aesthetic. Her work is comprised of materials like canvas, leather, paint, and paper.

Welcome to More Love Mama Global Textiles! Wrapping you in a world of fabrics and More Love! This listing is for a 5 Piece Fat Quarter Bundle of South African Shweshwe Fabric. Red in Assorted Patterns. Cotton Fabric for Quilting, Apparel, Home Décor . Genuine, beautiful, and finely detailed, African Shweshwe fabric. Da Gama Textiles is perhaps the only known producer of traditional Indigo Dyed Discharge Printed Fabric in the world. It is unique to this company in South Africa. The process for producing Three Cats Shweshwe is still done traditionally, whereby fabric is fed through copper rollers which have patterns etched on the surface, allowing a weak acid solution to be fed into the fabric, bleaching out the distinctive white designs. The authenticity of the fabric can be verified by the trademark backstamp on the back of all the fabric. This fabric has typically been used for traditional ceremonies in rural areas, but now it has become widely fashionable in South African and around the world for use in quilts, clothing and housewares. It is a super high quality cotton. Perfect for quilting, clothing, and other sewing crafts. Each fat quarter is approximately 18 inches by 18 inches. 100 % Cotton Average Shrinkage: warp -9.5%, weft -0.7% Standard Care Suggestions to preserve the beauty of your fabrics: Wash separately Hot water wash (first wash must be hot to remove starch) Do not use bleach Line Dry or Machine Dry Do not dry clean Warm iron Shweshwe prints are traditionally coated in starch to preserve them for long sea voyages. The prewash stiffness and starch smell will disappear after washing. When doing your prewash, you may want to pink the edges of your fabric to avoid fraying. International shoppers--the default of International Priority Shipping is for up to 6 yards.

Our All Seasons Eucalyptus Bundle consists of ethically sourced eucalyptus, two yellow dried roses, wrapped with colorful yarn to hold a piece of palo santo and natural gypsophilia. Each bundle has a unique look, no two are exactly alike. Each piece is one of a kind, the size of the eucalyptus, palo santo, and roses varies, as we work with natural materials. Every bundle is hand tied in our Rochester, NY studio. Each one is wrapped in vintage string and fabric that is purchased from a local non-profit which sells vintage and deadstock sewing and crafting materials, where proceeds go back to the community, providing sewing and textile-based classes, as well as job training. Every Catherine Rising piece is assembled with care, by hand, by our close-knit team. While we do our best to keep stock of each product on hand and ship out orders as quickly as possible, we ask that you please allow one to three weeks for turnaround time.

Stripe Furoshiki Navy Size: 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4") Material : 100% cotton satin (lighter weight, smooth cotton) Handmade in Japan, using Japanese traditional printing techniques. About Furoshiki : Furoshiki (風呂敷, fu-rosh-ki) is a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. It can be used in multiple ways, for bundling or gift-wrapping all sorts of things – from lunch boxes or books, to watermelons and bottles of wine. You could even tie it into a handbag or use it as a scarf, a baby blanket or even a wall hanging. One simple and beautiful piece of cloth and the list is endless. Tie it and see! Designers words : The design is based on the functional aspect of the furoshiki; the idea of wrapping and folding. At first glance it appears as a bold and abstract pattern but when seen as a whole, it becomes apparent that the stripes depict manipulated and tied fabric. by Lucinda Newton Dunn (http://spacetothinkdesign.wordpress.com/the-designer/) Printing process : Each of our products has been hand printed in Japan, using traditional printing techniques. We are working with a great printing company called Chiffonez in Tokyo, who specialize in the printing of furoshiki. To make sure we get the best results possible, we keep a close dialogue with the printers, retaining a good balance between our ideas and their invaluable knowledge. About LINK : LINK is a unique and challenging project conducted long-distance, entirely via the internet, by busy women with a world-wide vision. Collaborating with a select global network of artists and designers, it aims to cross cultures and generations by creating beautiful and functional products, from Japan to the world and from the world to Japan.

Folded Paper Pink Size: 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4") Material : 100% cotton satin (lighter weight, smooth cotton) Handmade in Japan, using Japanese traditional printing techniques. About Furoshiki : Furoshiki (風呂敷, fu-rosh-ki) is a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. It can be used in multiple ways, for bundling or gift-wrapping all sorts of things. We think this particular lighter-weight furoshiki works well for more delicate wrapping and perfectly as a scarf, and it softens up the more you wear and wash it. One simple and beautiful piece of cloth and the list is endless. Tie it and see! Designers words : This design is based on the Japanese tradition of origami. Continuing with the theme of folding and wrapping, this design depicting a folded piece of paper, explores three dimensionality through line and pattern. At first glance, a quarter of folded furoshiki appears to be decorated with nothing more than bold stripes, but viewed as a whole, it transforms into an intricate and three-dimensional trompe l'oeil. — Lucinda Newton Dunn Printing process : Each of our products has been hand printed in Japan, using traditional printing techniques.
