All finished with my quilt! I used HeirloomCreations method for binding (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWh90tXr7g4) and did stitch in the ditch for finishing it up and it worked so well!

So excited to be done and I'm already looking forward to my next project. I have fabric ready for another quilt and I'm about halfway finished with another. I also am interesting in making a quilt with houses on it and trying out an embroidery like the Lace Cottage.

Today I went to Golden with my family for my aunts birthday and it was such a fantastics day. We got breakfast and walked around downtown Golden. We also went into a quilt shop. They had so many quilts for sale that they lost some of their excitement. Such a great day though.

One more week of work and then I have the week off for Christmas. I'm really looking forward to some chill time and I hope to get some good crafting time in as well as some pickleball and some of the to-do's I've been putting off.

Texturas en los Bocetos de Alta Costura para Caballero

La ilustración de moda es una herramienta clave en el diseño, utilizada para plasmar ideas, explorar estilos y comunicar conceptos a fabricantes y clientes. Su origen se remonta al Renacimiento, pero ganó relevancia en los siglos XVIII y XIX con revistas especializadas. Aunque la fotografía redujo su presencia en medios, sigue siendo esencial en el proceso creativo, combinando técnicas tradicionales y digitales.

Se usa para conceptualizar diseños, presentar colecciones, crear fichas técnicas y en marketing. Aporta creatividad y precisión, facilitando la transformación de ideas en prendas reales.

Importancia de las Texturas

La textura es uno de los elementos más poderosos del diseño de moda, ya que puede crear interés visual y táctil, contraste y armonía en cualquier atuendo. La textura se refiere a la calidad de la superficie de una tela o material, como lisa, áspera, difusa, brillante o mate.

También puede referirse a la forma en que se manipula una tela, como plisada, drapeada, fruncida o acolchada. A continuación veremos algunas de las formas más efectivas de usar la textura en el diseño de moda y cómo equilibrarla con otros elementos como el color, la forma y el patrón.

Cómo Utilizarlas

Elige texturas que se adaptasen a tu estilo y mensaje

El primer paso para usar la textura de manera efectiva es elegir texturas que coincidan con tu estilo personal y el mensaje que deseas transmitir con tu atuendo.

Experimenta con combinaciones de texturas

Una de las formas más divertidas y creativas de usar la textura en el diseño de moda es experimentar con diferentes combinaciones de texturas y ver cómo afectan el estado de ánimo general y la impresión de tu atuendo.

Equilibra la textura con otros elementos

Si bien la textura puede agregar mucho interés y personalidad a tu atuendo, también puede abrumar o chocar con otros elementos, como el color, la forma y el patrón. Para equilibrar la textura con otros elementos, hay que tener en cuenta el peso visual, la escala y la armonía de cada componente.

Usa la textura para realizar tu silueta y la forma de tu cuerpo

Otra forma de usar la textura de manera efectiva en el diseño de moda es usarla para mejorar la silueta y la forma del cuerpo, y crear atuendos favorecedores y cómodos. La textura puede afectar el aspecto de tu cuerpo al añadir volumen, dimensión o definición a ciertas zonas.

Siga a las tendencias y revisiones de textura

La última forma de usar la textura de manera efectiva en el diseño de moda es seguir las tendencias y pronósticos de textura, y ver cómo reflejan el estado de ánimo y la cultura actuales del mundo de la moda.

Texturas más utilizadas

La alta costura para caballeros se distingue por la atención al detalle y la selección de texturas que realzan la prenda. Algunas de las texturas más utilizadas son:

"The substances behind the slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds could trap microplastics better than a commonly used synthetic polymer.

Texas researchers proposed in 2022 using these sticky natural polymers to clean up water. Now, they’ve found that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from ocean water, freshwater, and groundwater.

With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, Rajani Srinivasan and colleagues at Tarleton State University found that the plant-based polymers from okra, fenugreek, and tamarind stick to microplastics, clumping together and sinking for easy separation from water.

In this next stage of the research, they have optimized the process for okra and fenugreek extracts and tested results in a variety of types of water.

To extract the sticky plant polymers, the team soaked sliced okra pods and blended fenugreek seeds in separate containers of water overnight. Then, researchers removed the dissolved extracts from each solution and dried them into powders.

Analyses published in the American Chemical Society journal showed that the powdered extracts contained polysaccharides, which are natural polymers. Initial tests in pure water spiked with microplastics showed that:

One gram of either powder in a quart (one liter) of water trapped microplastics the most effectively.

Dried okra and fenugreek extracts removed 67% and 93%, respectively, of the plastic in an hour.

A mixture of equal parts okra and fenugreek powder reached maximum removal efficiency (70%) within 30 minutes.

The natural polymers performed significantly better than the synthetic, commercially available polyacrylamide polymer used in wastewater treatment.

Then the researchers tested the plant extracts on real microplastic-polluted water. They collected samples from waterbodies around Texas and brought them to the lab. The plant extract removal efficiency changed depending on the original water source.

Okra worked best in ocean water (80%), fenugreek in groundwater (80-90%), and the 1:1 combination of okra and fenugreek in freshwater (77%).

The researchers hypothesize that the natural polymers had different efficiencies because each water sample had different types, sizes and shapes of microplastics.

Polyacrylamide, which is currently used to remove contaminants during wastewater treatment, has low toxicity, but its precursor acrylamide is considered toxic. Okra and fenugreek extracts could serve as biodegradable and nontoxic alternatives.

���Utilizing these plant-based extracts in water treatment will remove microplastics and other pollutants without introducing additional toxic substances to the treated water,” said Srinivasan in a media release, “thus reducing long-term health risks to the population.”

She had previously studied the use of food-grade plant extracts as non-toxic flocculants to remove textile-based pollutants from wastewater and thought, ‘Why not try microplastics?’"

Child's Sock from Egypt, c.250-350 CE: this colorful sock is nearly 1,700 years old

This tiny sock was discovered during excavations in the ancient city of Oxyrhynchus, in Egypt, and it was likely created for a child during the late Roman period, c.250-350 CE.

Similar-looking socks from late antiquity and the early Byzantine period have also been found at several other sites throughout Egypt; these socks often have colorful, striped patterns with divided toes, and they were crafted out of wool using a technique known as nålbinding.

Above: a similar child's sock from Antinoöpolis, in Egypt, c.250-350 CE

The sock depicted above was created during the same period, and it was found in a midden heap (an ancient rubbish pit) in the city of Antinoöpolis. A multispectral imaging analysis of this sock yielded some interesting results back in 2018, as this article explains:

... analysis revealed that the sock contained seven hues of wool yarn woven together in a meticulous, stripy pattern. Just three natural, plant-based dyes—madder roots for red, woad leaves for blue and weld flowers for yellow—were used to create the different color combinations featured on the sock, according to Joanne Dyer, lead author of the study.

In the paper, she and her co-authors explain that the imaging technique also revealed how the colors were mixed to create hues of green, purple and orange: In some cases, fibers of different colors were spun together; in others, individual yarns went through multiple dye baths.

Such intricacy is pretty impressive, considering that the ancient sock is both “tiny” and “fragile."

Given its size and orientation, the researchers believe it may have been worn on a child’s left foot.

Above: another child's sock from Al Fayyum, Egypt, c.300-500 CE

The ancient Egyptians employed a single-needle looping technique, often referred to as nålbindning, to create their socks. Notably, the approach could be used to separate the big toe and four other toes in the sock—which just may have given life to the ever-controversial socks-and-sandals trend.

der Arbeitstage und der Alltagsleben

Hallo!

Silje, her! 😊

Ich hoffe, alle hatten eine tolle Zeit 🙌 Dies ist ein Rückblick aud meinen Alltag und arbeidstag. Mit anderen Worten, das Leben eins archäologenstudenten im materstudiengang in Norwegen.

Mein Tag beginnt bereits um 05:00 Uhr morgens. Wenn ich so früh aufstehe, habe ich Zeit, Dinge für mich selbst zu tun. Sich auf den tag vorzubereiten ist auch eine möglichkeit, auf sich selbst aufzupassen. Das Wichtigste, was ich morgens mache, ist Kaffee kochen. Dann Früuhstrück und Wiederholung des Deutsch- oder Bilogienunterrichts online (youtube).

Nach all dem die Schultasche packen und dann zur der Universität. Wenn Sie Früher abreisen als nötig, vermeiden Sie volle Buss und längere Werteyeiten auf dem Weg zur Universität. Da ich früher an der Uni ankommen, habe ich Zeit, mich mit einer Tasse Kaffee hinzusetzen, bevor ich voll in den Arbeidstag starte. In der Regel erledige ich gleichzeitig, was ich tagsüber erledigen muss.

Mein Alltagsleben ist in letzter Zeit sehr beschäftigt 😅 Der Alltag besteht darin, von 08:00 Uhr morgens bis 16:00 Uhr nachmittags in den Lesesaal zu gehen und dort zu sitzen. Etwas später am Vormittag kommen mehr Studerende in den Lesesaal, sodass bei Bedarf auch gemeinsam gearbeitet werden kann. Er ist wichtig zu erwähnen, dass alle in meinem Lesesall Archäologiestudenten das Masterstudiengangs sind. Am Wochenende habe ich beispielsweisen sowohl Kapitelentmürfe als auch Vorlesungen für kommilitonen durchgesehen.

Meine Masterarbeit befasst sich mit Textilien aus dem Mittelalter und dem Import und Export in Norwegen in einer bestimmten mittelalterlichen Stadt. Tatsächlich ist es eine bestimmte Art von Textil, nach der ich suche. Meine Hypothese ist, dass diese Art von Textilien in frühen Phasen des Mittelalters importiert und nicht in Norwegen Hergestillt.

Wie bei allen Jobs kann es auf dem Weg zu Problemen kommen, mit denen man sich befassen muss. Textilien sind etwas, mit dem jader eine Beziehung hat. Deshalb ist ein Privileg, Textilien aus älteren Zeiten der Menschheitegeschichte erforschen zu dürfen.

Manchmal gibt es viel zu tun sowohl mit der Arbeit am Master als auch mit der Arbeit am Deutsch. Deshalb habe ich mich entschieden, diesen Blog zu starten. Da meine Muttersprache Norwegisch ist, fallen beim Lesen einige Parallelen zur deutschen Sprache auf.

Einer der Gründe, warum ich versuche, Deutsch zu lernen, ist dass ich mich weiterhin mit Textilien befassen möchte (mein Artikel ist auf Deutsch über ältere Textilen geschrieben).

Das war eine gute Übung. Probieren Sie es auch gerne aus und verlinken Sie mivh auf den Beitrag, dann schaue ich es mir an.

Bis zum nächsten Mal viel Spaß!
