I'm here to push my needlepoint agenda

Fibre Arts are SUPER varied, there are thousands of things that you can do. Imo, you shouldn't write off anything based on assumptions! Try it out and see. Start small so if it's not your jam you can pivot. DON'T BE INTIMIDATED! I'm certain that whatever you try, there will be people chomping at the bit to give you advice–in my experience, craftspeople love sharing their craft.

We have always had a particular place in our hearts for ethnic clothing. It's more than just clothing; it's a reflection of our cultural heritage, identity, and values. From traditional attire steeped in history to contemporary styles that blend tradition with modernity, ethnic wear has undergone a fascinating evolution. This journey from the past to the present showcases how ethnic wear has adapted to changing times while preserving its essence.

you have been at the bau almost as long as spencer reid — which means your friendship with him was forged in long nights, shared files, and caffeine-fueled arguments about psychology versus probability.

you are not childhood friends. you are not soulmates. you are something stranger — something messier. you are the girl who got there on merit and mouth, with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind. you wear boots that make you taller than half the team and eye makeup like war paint.

you file your reports on time but never without snark scribbled in the margins. you make sarcastic bets during debriefs and win most of them. your badge is polished. your humor is not.

you don’t care for small talk. you don’t do pity. your loyalty is a slow-earned thing, heavy as a loaded gun — but once someone has it, you’ll bleed for them.

no one’s quite sure what to make of you — the new profiler with too many rings and not enough patience. but you get results. and your instincts are never wrong.

you and spencer?

you bicker like it’s a sport and protect each other like it’s instinct. you call him “pretty boy” when he’s flustered and “doctor” when you want something.

he calls you out when you’re self-destructing and quotes neruda like it’s casual conversation. he’s all soft hands and delicate words; you’re a spitfire with a grudge and a love for black coffee and control.

he tries to save you from yourself. you tell him to mind his business. he doesn’t. you love him for it — not that you’d ever say it out loud.

this isn’t a love story. not yet. it’s tension and teasing and late-night motel rooms with only one bed. it’s the slow, torturous undoing of a friendship that was never just platonic. it’s the long way around — to love, to trust, to the kind of intimacy that ruins you.

this isn’t a series — it’s a universe. a slow-burn collision between two best friends across genres : lust, loyalty, unresolved longing.

in which you ( the reader ) are spencer's best friend and you are tired of being in the friend zone and thus come up with a series of plans to push spencer to finally confess his feelings for you | a collection of blurbs

The first major solo museum presentation of fourth-generation Navajo weaver Melissa Cody (b. 1983, No Water Mesa, Arizona) spans the last decade of her practice, showcasing over 30 weavings and a major new work produced for the exhibition. Using long-established weaving techniques and incorporating new digital technologies, Cody assembles and reimagines popular patterns into sophisticated geometric overlays, incorporating atypical dyes and fibers. Her tapestries carry forward the methods of Navajo Germantown weaving, which developed out of the wool and blankets that were made in Germantown, Pennsylvania and supplied by the US government to the Navajo people during the forced expulsion from their territories in the mid-1800s. During this period, the rationed blankets were taken apart and the yarn was used to make new textiles, a practice of reclamation which became the source of the movement. While acknowledging this history and working on a traditional Navajo loom, Cody’s masterful works exercise experimental palettes and patterns that animate through reinvention, reframing traditions as cycles of evolution. Melissa Cody is a Navajo/Diné textile artist and enrolled member of the Navajo/Diné nation. Cody grew up on a Navajo Reservation in Leupp, Arizona and received a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Arts and Museum Studies from Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe. Her work has been featured in The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia (2022); Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR (2021); National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (2019–2020); Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff (2019); SITE Santa Fe (2018–19); Ingham Chapman Gallery, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque (2018); Navajo Nation Museum, Window Rock (2018); and the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe (2017–18). Cody’s works are in the collections of the Stark Museum of Art, Orange, Texas; the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; and The Autry National Center, Los Angeles. In 2020, she earned the Brandford/Elliott Award for Excellence in Fiber Art.

fashion and world-building for royal simblr

my friends are sick and tired of listening to me ranting and raving about how fashion can be used to convey information about your characters and setting. instead, i bring my rants to you, the general public.

disclaimer that I'm (obviously) not mandating that everyone have an answer to every single one of these questions or that your story is bad if you don't think this much about your sims' wardrobes. my own personal answer to half of these questions is "I dunno, I never thought about it" and/or "I dunno, I'm not interested in that"

don't treat this list like homework, consider it a series of suggestions and prompts that might spark something interesting for your story :)

Does your royal family have a dress code? Are there codified internal rules for how your royals are expected to dress, or is it an unspoken set of expectations?

If your royals have a dress code, who sets it? How is it enforced? Does it ever change?

Are any of your royals considered style icons? What impact does their wardrobe have on trends within your country?

Are your royals expected to dress modestly? How do they define 'modest?'

Do your royals wear trendy clothes or are they expected to dress conservatively or in an old-fashioned way?

Are your royals allowed to be experimental or "alt" in the way they dress?

Are your royals expected to dress in a gender-conforming way?

How much autonomy do your royals have in deciding what to wear?

How do your royals pay for their wardrobes? If their clothes are paid for with public money, how does the general public feel about that?

Do your royals have their clothes custom-made? Do they wear designer clothes? Do they shop at normal stores and wear "accessible" brands?

How do your royals use clothes to signal class status? Do they practice conspicuous consumption, or do they dress in an understated way to signal that they're above wealth?

Do your royals have relationships with the designers of their clothes? Do they have any favorites? Do they borrow clothes from designers? Attend fashion shows? Accept "freebies?"

Do your royals ever re-wear outfits? Is this normal for them, or do re-wears drive commentary? What do they do with all the clothes they'll never re-wear?

How much jewelry does your royal family own? When do they wear it? Are there any rules (formal or informal) about colored stones?

Are there any non-jewelry garments that have been passed down by the royal family? (i.e., a bridal veil, a Christening gown)

Does your country have folk costumes or traditional dress? Who wears traditional clothes and on what occasions?

What kinds of textiles are produced in your country?

How do royal children dress? Are there any clothing that children have to "graduate" into? (for example: British princes have traditionally worn shorts and knee socks during official appearances until they're 9 or 10, when they begin wearing longer pants.)

Are there any differences between how your royals dress while on duty and how they dress in their private lives?

What do your royals wear for special occasions like weddings and funerals?

What kinds of political messages do your royals send through their clothes? Are they expected to wear clothes from designers from their own country? When they travel overseas, do they wear designers from their host country?

Clothes and fashion are a huge part of how royals are understood and interpreted, historically and in the present. It's almost impossible to discuss the French Revolution without touching on Marie Antoinette's wigs and gowns. On the opposite end of the spectrum, modern royal women often wear a mix of expensive and affordable pieces in order to be seen as relatable to the average woman and because they know what happened to Marie Antoinette.

So go forth! Incorporate fashion into your story! Make worldbuilding posts with all the lore! Write up individual histories of your royals' fashion evolutions! Do all of this and then tag me so I can read it 😤

From the exhibition of Polish artist Malgorzata Mirga-Tas “Re-enchanting the World”.

Małgorzata Mirga-Tas is a Romani visual artist, educator and activist. Born in 1978, she lives and works in Czarna Góra, a village at the foot of the Tatra Mountains in southern Poland.

Mirga-Tas is known for her textile collages created with materials and fabrics that are mainly gathered from family and friends. Her visual storytelling comes from a feminist perspective and challenges stereotypical representations of Roma people. Often working in collaboration with other women, she sews pieces of clothing, handkerchiefs, tablecloths, curtains and sheets together to create vivid portraits and scenes from everyday life.

“Re-enchanting the World” explores the idea of transnationality, cycles and evolution of mentalities and ideas related to the confrontation of Romanian, Polish and European cultures.

Here we see twelve huge textile frames that refer to the Renaissance frescoes of the “Cycle of the Months” in the style of frescoes, whose meaning is intimately linked to the Neoplatonic ideas of the time (1470) and astrology.

This cycle of the months of Ferrara connects the sanctity of the cosmic order with that of agriculture, you can see the gods of Olympus and the zodiac signs integrated into the scenes of everyday life at the court of the Duke of Ferrara.

Malgorzata Mirga-Tas, a women's rights activist, wanted to refer both to her own Romanian origins and the place of women in her country's society.

Richly illustrated volume exploring the inseparable histories of modernist abstraction and twentieth-century textiles.   Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts.   Woven Histories begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse. Including essays by distinguished art historians as well as reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious project traces the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction as vehicles through which artists probe urgent issues of our time.

Ali Dipp (b. 1997, El Paso, TX) was born and raised on the binational precipice between the United States and Mexico, in El Paso, TX, where she developed an ongoing interest in the evolution of America’s self-representation. In her works, Dipp employs a manual sewing machine to ‘paint’ on denim with thread, creating variously-scaled collaged textile works that express the myriad ways in which imagery has been enlisted to make and describe America. Informed by her Lebanese and Syrian familial lineages that migrated to Mexico and the United States over the course of generations, Dipp fundamentally understands America to be a moving picture. She posits that a nation’s ideals are wrought from the labor of daily efforts, and recognizes that aspiration is a uniquely American condition. Together, Dipp’s works form an aesthetic argument describing how representations of America reflect an ever changing nation. https://www.parraschheijnen.com/artists/ali-dipp

Threads of Change: The Evolution of Bangladesh's Textile Industry

[bedlamsbard]

hello friends today we went to the Met and I was so excited in the Greek and Roman exhibit that @reena-jenkins got a spontaneous three hour lecture from me about the evolution of Greek art from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic period and also I almost started crying when I saw this vase in person for the first time, I've taught it a lot and as a textile person it's very important for textile history and I didn't expect to actually see it. (there are other vases and figurines I've taught at the Met and I got very excited about those too, but the textile one is just. a lot.)

also it turns out that I can look at a statue at a glance and identify it as Archaic, classical Greek, Hellenistic, or Roman without looking at the label -- I'm not actually an art historian so I can't get more specific than that most of the time but it's always nice to get the reminder that I did actually get something out of the PhD.
