Watered silk or moiré

1860s silk dress made from a unique so-called watered silk fabric. Watered silk or moiré silk was made by embossing patterns onto the surface of the silk, using high pressure and steam rollers. This creates patterns that look like small waves or ripples in water.

Some European Renaissance Art Vocabulary

for your next poem/story

Acanthus - A prickly plant with large leaves; used as ornament in ancient Greece and the Renaissance.

Altarpiece - A religious painting composed of one or several compartments or panels; intended to stand on or hang above an altar.

Apocrypha - Literally, things that are “hidden.” The Apocrypha are not universally accepted as official scripture and are excluded from the old and new Testaments.

Blue - The color of the sky. In Christian painting, it symbolizes Heaven. Mary, known as the Queen of Heaven, wears a blue mantle. Blue pigment was derived from either the mineral azurite, a copper carbonate mineral, or ultramarine, made from lapis lazuli. The latter was very costly.

Burin - A pointed tool used to engrave lines into a metal plate that is used for printmaking. Ink applied to the plate will sink into the engraved lines and transfer to the paper.

Cartouche - An ornament in the shape of a scroll with ends folded back.

Coffered - “Divided in squares,” usually refers to a popular Renaissance ceiling treatment that used recessed squares.

Coat of Arms - A heraldic device identifying a person, family, or institution of the nobility.

Confraternity - An assembly of lay persons dedicated to strict religious observances.

Cronice - A horizontal band that crowns the top of a building.

Cuirass - A piece of close-fitting armor for protecting the chest and back.

Damascened - Metalwork ornamented with an inlaid design.

Diptych - A painting, usually an altarpiece, made up of two hinged panels. A triptych has three hinged panels.

Doge - The chief justice in the republics of Venice and Genoa.

Embossed - Metal that is hammered, molded, or carved so as to create a bulge or an image in relief.

Engraving - A process used by printmakers who cut grooves or pits into a wood block or metal plate with a sharp tool called a burin. When the plate is inked, the printer’s ink sinks into the grooves; then the plate is wiped, to remove the ink from the smooth areas. The inked plate is pressed against damp paper by running both between two heavy rollers. The pressure forces the softened paper into the grooves to pull out the ink, which we see as lines.

Entablature - The part of the building that is above the columns, encompassing the architrave, the frieze, and the cornice. This element was first found in Greek architecture.

Foreground - The part of the painted image that appears closest to the viewer, usually the lower area of the painting or other composition. The background, usually the upper area of the painting, appears to be farther back. The middle ground is everything in between.

Gold - A symbol of pure light, the heavenly element in which God lives.

Grotesque - A type of decoration found on Roman wall paintings that we reexcavated in the sixteenth century, especially in Nero’s Golden House. The wall paintings were found in underground caves called “grottoes,” thus, the newly discovered ornamentation was called “grotesque.” These wall decorations featured motifs characterized by imaginative, organic connections between disparate elements, including human figures, animals, insects, and birds, mythological and other fantastic beasts, architectural and plant elements.

Batter up!

Chapters 1 & 2 coming to AO3 on November 12, 2023, featuring art by @thatnerdemryn and a playlist by @steves-strapcollection, written for @steddiebang

Summary: All Steve wants for the 2023 baseball season is for the media to leave him alone for once. His reputation is still suffering after he was caught last season in a very compromising position with one of his teammates, and he just wants to lay low and play a good season. A trip to the World Series wouldn't hurt either. A voice from his past has other plans, though.

Eddie hasn't been able to forget what the two of them had together when they were in high school, or his promise to Steve when they parted ways the summer after senior year: Someday I'll write a whole album for you. It's been a decade, and all the pieces are in place for Eddie to finally make good on that promise.

Steve is in for a roller coaster of a season.

Sneak peek under the cut

It’s around sunrise when he wakes with his alarm, properly this time, and he finds seven missed calls from Robin, and another text message from her. 

Call me. This is a PR call, not a bestie call. Get up.

So Steve calls his publicist, Robin Buckley, rather than his best friend Rob.

“Jesus, it’s about damn time,” she says by way of greeting.

“I just woke up, Rob. What do you want?”

“Eddie’s album came out today.”

Steve waits, but Robin doesn’t say anything else. “Okay? Why am I supposed to care? I haven’t spoken to Eddie Munson in almost ten years.”

“I need you to open Spotify and just. Look at the album art.”

“I don’t even remember what his fucking band is even called,” Steve lies, putting Robin on speaker, and then he thumbs his way through his apps to open Spotify. Pulling up the search feature, Steve taps in the name of Eddie’s band and right there, under recently released, is the new Corroded Coffin album.

Batter up!, it’s called. 

On the cover is Eddie Munson, looking just as wild as he did in high school and not a day older than he looked the last time Steve saw him. Eddie’s big, dark eyes are trained on the camera, and he’s got his body turned sideways. He is wearing a generic baseball uniform in blue and gray. He’s got a baseball bat positioned between strong thighs, sticking out from between his legs in an obscene suggestion of an erection. There are nails sticking out of the end of the bat and the album title is embossed on the barrel. Eddie’s hand, big and veiny, is gripped around the taper, a light gray sweatband on his wrist. He is either wearing an athletic cup underneath those fucking pants or he’s sporting some very real half chub action. What the hell.

“Jesus H. Christ. Is that… Robin, is that a number seven on his fucking wristband?” Steve asks flatly.

“That’s what you’re focusing on?”

Steve ignores her. He can’t focus on anything else. Not if he wants to keep his hard-won sanity. “We could always sue him.” “That would mean owning up to a lot,” Robin says carefully. “I listened to it, Steve. The lyrics aren’t subtle.”

I am veraciously reading 20th century lace machine promotional material for reasons that will, I hope, eventually become clear

Until then (and as compensation for putting off the Grace Kelly post—it turns out describing something accurately takes time and effort) did you guys know they used to have a hand operated (think hand crank) machine that imitated hand embroidery so successfully they couldn’t figure out who made the silk embroidered postcards that were super popular during WWI because there were definitely too many to be made by hand

It is my new favourite textile machine, supplanting the rollers that calendar fabric, because it’s fairly convincing (I think it’s the use of silk floss)

Кажется, до конца месяца больше книг я брать не буду, так что вот пополнение коллекции за месяц :3

It seems that I won't be buying more books until the end of the month, so here's the restocking for the past month :3

Шесть книг всего, зато каких! У меня есть ощущение, что я быстрее соберу всю коллекцию Dragonlance, чем начну их читать 😂

Волшебник земноморья. Детская серия, 2004го года издания. В великолепном состоянии, тиснение не стёртое, страницы белые, даже старостью не пахнет, а ведь книге больше двадцати лет! Руки так и чешутся её тро��ать.

Небожители, последний том. Отдала милейшая девушка, из-за переезда, и за сущие копейки - 500. Причём это было в шаговой близости до моего дома, добежала до неё на роликах за полчаса (и только один раз шлёпнулась).

Падение, Бригаду и Прилив нашла на старой барахолке в куче ненужных книг, отдали по 300 за каждую.

И Дитя... одна из самых редких и дорогих книг серии... Торговалась я тогда с человеком как зверь. Но книга у него лежала уже давно, за высокую цену никто брать не хотел, и я сумела сторговаться до приемлемых 3300.

____/🐉/____

Six books in total, but what lovely ones! I have a feeling that I will collect the entire Dragonlance collection before I start reading them 😂

A Wizard of Earthsea. Children's series, 2004 edition. It's in excellent condition, the embossing hasn't been erased, the pages are white, it doesn't even smell old, and the book is more than twenty years old! My hands itch to touch her.

Heaven Official’s Blessing, the last 6th volume. Was given away by the sweetest girl, because of the move, and for mere pennies - $5. Moreover, it was within walking distance to my house, I ran to it on roller skates in half an hour (and only plopped down once).

I found Downfall, Brigade and Tides in an old flea market in a pile of unnecessary books, they gave $3 for each.

And Amber and Blood... one of the rarest and most expensive books in the series... Back then, I was bargaining like a wild beast. But the seller had the book for a long time, no one wanted to take it for a high price, and so I managed to bargain down to an acceptable $33.

T

he herm of Saint Ladislaus

SACRAL RELICS

The herm means head-reliquary. In this case, it holds Saint Ladislaus King’s sculpture and we definitely can say that it is the most valuable piece of Hungarian metalsmithing.

The head of the herm is made of gilded, embossed silver. The sculpted reliquary was put inside, in a silver case. The work on the shoulder and chest was crafted with the wire enamel technique. This technique is from 14th century of Byzantium which from there spread to other parts of Europe thanks to Venice. And what is the wire enamel?

Artisans put plates on the subject they are decorating and they solder twisted silver wire to make subdivisions. Then they fill the subdivisions with enamel. While the enamel burns out, it shrinks and the twisted silver wire bulks from the surface.

Experts have argued a lot about the makers of the herm. Some think it was made by Márton Kolozsvári and György Kolozsvári and portrait of III. Béla is seen in the herm by that group. Saint Ladislaus was blessed during III. Béla’s reign. The others think that the head part was made around the 12th-13thcentury at Dénes master’s workshop.

We know as following the old traditions his grave was opened and his head and arms were put in separated shrines so they could make them religious relics before he became blessed in 1192. The next time it is mentioned in records was in 1273 that his sculpture was kept in the shrine in the Cathedral of Nagyvárad where Saint Ladislaus was buried. They used it at the vows. According to one of King Zsigmond’s certificates the herm was destroyed in the great fire of 1406 but the relic survived it. This is when the new herm was made with the technique mentioned earlier between 1406 and 1443. We know this because they held the herm under the tower of the cathedral in Nagyvárad. This tower collapsed but the herm did not get damaged at all.

According to legend Saint Ladislaus’ grave was robbed in 1565 but Bishop Demeter Náprági was able to get the shrine back. When he needed to leave Várad because of the persecution of the catholic people, he took the shrine with him to Gyulafehérvár, Bratislava and in 1607 to Győr. Not too long after Bishop Walter Lynch arrived in Győr and brought the Weeping Madonna painting that wept blood.

Bishop Demeter restored it in Prague. This is when the roller neck and the neck ring got on it that we can see today and this is when its gothic crown was changed. The crown is decorated with Czech grenades and glass and uncolored quartz insets.

Knight King’s personality cult was not foreign for the citizens of Győr before the arrival of Demeter Náprági. Győr town looks at the Saint King as its personal patron since that moment that Győr gave home to this national relic. The story of the earthquake in 1763 belongs to it also. Thanks to that Győr has a tradition since then and the town got a new legend that you can read about here.

They opened the herm for 4 days in 2011. The scientists (doctors, anthropologists and boffins) started a research project to get answers for the following questions during this 4 days: is there a sculpt relic in the herm? Is it a full sculpt or just pieces of it? And does this relic really belong to the Knight King?

The lower jaw and most of his teeth were missing and also little pieces of his sculpture, likely because others took small parts of this relic before as well. János Simon bishop of Győr who became diocesan bishop of Esztergom in 1867 took a tooth of Saint Ladislaus that is kept in a shrine in the Basilica of Esztergom. The shrine was made in Vienna. A little piece of the sculpt and one of the remaining 3 teeth were taken to do some research. The first fact that was figured out that Saint Ladislaus was totally healthy when he died.

The anthropology examination made sure that the herm holds the sculpture of Saint Ladislaus. We can see the colored part on the top of the sculpt and that matches the openings of the shrine that is a strong proof that the original sculpt was kept in it for centuries. Also it shows that it is Saint Ladislaus’ sculpt that it has rugged features of a man who was between 45-55 years old that is shown on the face reconstruction. This face reconstruction is very similar to the one that was made by the sculpt of the III. Béla.

Frottage

There are multiple ways to make use of frottage (rubbings) to create art, that involve the inclusion of natural forms, outdoor elements, urban scenes, still lives, typography and lettering, and other abstract/experimental techniques. Frottage was significant in surrealism as it allowed for spontaneous and unexpected imagery.

I know it's a long post, but there's so much overlap I didn't want to split it across multiple posts and make people go back and forth to find materials lists and such.

You will need:

Textures:

natural - leaves, flowers, shells, bark, etc.

outdoor - sand, sidewalk, raised/depressed lettering, brick work, etc.

surfaces - fabrics, rough paper, textured objects, etc.

unconventional materials - sandpaper, lace, grids, grillwork, Lego, etc.

objects with varying shapes and sizes

textures

Drawing/painting materials:

soft graphite pencils

crayons

pastels

coloured pencils

charcoal

watercolours

gouache

acrylics

ink

Other:

paper

roller or brayer

brushes

blunt drawing/embossing tool

Tips:

Make sure the paper you use isn't too thick or you won't be able to capture texture through it.

Hold the drawing tool at an angle and gently rub it across the paper to best allow for the texture or relief of the textured surface to transfer.

How:

Choose texture/surface.

Place paper over desired spot.

Use your chosen drawing material to rub over the spot.

You could:

Choose a natural and/or outdoor textured surface. Try - leaves, bark, gravel, ground layer, branches, flowers, etc.

Choose cityscape images or objects representing urban scenes. Consider specific architectural elements - statuary, facades, windows, doorways, decorative elements, historical sites, and street textures.

Use different sizes and types of papers to to capture what you want.

Make composite scenes by incorporating different perspectives/views into a single piece.

Consider using one dominant colour for the entire piece.

Use the textures of weathered/decaying urban elements and combine those with the use of worn or distressed materials.

Create a texture map by documenting the textures of different urban areas or neighbourhoods.

Find surfaces with lettering/logos - buildings with embossed letters, textured walls, raised patterns.

Capture different lettering styles, sizes, surfaces, letter forms, words, font styles, calligraphy, alphabets of different languages, phrases, historical buildings or monuments with inscriptions.

Integrate typography into textured backgrounds.

Enhance portraits, landscapes, etc. by incorporating quotes, signatures, or typographic elements.

Overlap objects to create different compositions and texture combination.

Create transition frottage that moves from one object to another.

Combine different techniques, tools, surface materials, ink washes, paint splattering, dripping, masking, blending colours, layering textures, shading, various pressure intensities to create different effects.

Combine embossing with frottage by using a blunt tool to press into the paper to capture depressions and textures.

Use frottage to emphasise negative space by highlighting the areas around the textures rather than (just) the textures themselves.

Combine frottage with unconventional mark-making tools such as found objects, unconventional brushes, or natural tools to create abstract textures.

Experiment with chemically treating the paper before/after to alter textures/create unexpected effects.

Use completed pieces as collage elements or the surface for another work.

Combine various creative techniques to augment results - stencilling, etching, linocut, mixed media, etc.

Alter the textures of materials by crumpling, folding, or distressing them before using them for frottage.

Use as a way to map/document textures found in various environments.
