🎗Ribbon work🌸

Ribbon embroidery is another very old art form that has recently become popular again. It seems that in today's world people are searching the old art forms to try to re-introduce to craft enthusiasts.

It is an old-fashion romantic embroidery carried out using ribbon, embroidery floss, and parley cotton to create beautiful floral motifs and decorative stitch patterns rather than yarn and all created by hand on garments and accessories.

Silk-ribbon embroidery is easy and fun to do, and even a novice embroiderer can create elegant floral arrangements and beautiful patterns with some simple stitches.

👒Lace in fashion🌼

from this Fifteenth to Twentieth centuries

Fashion,like lace itself,is a word of many meanings. It’s general sense of a particular shape,style or pattern,a way of doing things,a custom characteristic of a particular place or period of time.

Fashion laces in all their huge variety Were, everyone of them, slender, decorative and made of threads combined together to make an open work structure.

In the fifteenth century men and women of fashion were associated by their high quality or breeding, and recognized by their conformity in expenditure and habits. By the mid sixteenth to twentieth century they could be recognized also by their conformity in dress.

Thermoplastic:

A thermoplastic, or thermosoft plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling. These qualities are found in plastics and synthetic fabric that have similar molecular structures.

Contemporary Japanese fashion and textile designers have been some of the most innovative in recent times, in this field. They have quite often married ancient crafts and techniques with modern materials and processes to create brand new fabric patterns and constructions.

COLOUR and EMBROIDERY:

colors are an important component of embroidery.

The choice and use of fabrics and threads is a means of expressing individuality in the working out of the idea in embroidery.

There are some ways that I often follow to create my colours palettes that works well together.

MONOCHROMATIC : Monochromatic means you pick one colour and then use different shades of that colour in your design.

HARMONIOUS: Harmonious colours sit beside each other on the colour wheel. Since these colour sit next to each other,they easily flow into each other,hence the harmonious name.

COMPLEMENTARY: Complementary colours are pairs of colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel.

They create strong contrasts when placed next to each other and tend to make each other look more vibrant. So complementary colours can be used to create striking effects.

TRIADIC: A triadic colour palette uses 3 colours that are evenly spaced around the colour wheel.

I was a bit unsure about this one at first! Fearing that my colours would clash. But it’s actually a great way of creating a vibrant palette by using contrasting colours.

I find it fascinating to use my knowledge of colour theory to look at embroideries and art in general from a different perspective.

“Muscat Cloth”:Fashionable stripes

Taking stripes seriously reveals the existence of another wrapper fashion of the eightenth and nineteenth centuries in the western Indian Ocean: the striped and checked cotton and silk blends made in the port towns of the Southern Arabian nation of Oman.They were known to European traders as "Muscat cloth" for the name of Oman's largest port.

Muscat cloth created a Western Indian Ocean fashion sensation that has gone largely unnoticed in the extensive literature on the textile trades of the western Indian Ocean.

With this visual knowledge, turning to nineteenth-century photographs of East Africa, one can identify Muscat cloth in numerous setting’s:

What’s the sense of Working Practice:

From research I have found there are two types of working 1) Digital 2) Physical

Digital: Digital practice means doing one’s work through a software.Any kind of design is that appears in a digital format (On an app or website).

“Digital design refers to what is created and produce for viewing Ona screen”.

Physical: Physical work means the work performed by the Person on the basis of a works agreement, or any other agreement, or even in the absence of such agreements but, where the Person receives or is entitled to wages.

“physical refers to art that entirely exists in physical reality”.

NATURE OF RESEARCH LECTURE:

There are many ways of defining research:

Research in the science tradition:

Fundamental research: systematic enquiry Strategic research: fill the narrow gaps in fundamental research Applied research: extinction of knowledge Action research: test new information, ideas, forms to produce communicable knowledge Option research: information calculated to provide decisions or action.

Research in the humanities tradition:

The practice in the art: creating new work or literature, drama, music -Scholarship: knowing content, history of works -Research: purposes of the arts -Focuses on: expression in appropriate media, creative reflection on human experiences, qualitative interpretation of expression, judgments of worth, value, categorization of ideas, people, things, events.

Some artists and designers, and some other creative practitioners, claim that what they ordinarily do is research. They argue that their art works or design products or other creative practitioner output constitutes new knowledge.

Breaking down the question: how can theory of practice infrom our working practice?

Theory: An explanation of a happing or circumstance that is based on observation,Experimentation and reasoning.

Practice: The customary,habitual or expected produrre or way of doing of something.

Working: Activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or results.

In this way I want to present all my research through my work.

Question is #How can theory of practice infrom our working practice?

Theory and practice complement each other like thinking and doing. A theory is a thought,an idea about the way the world works that allows you to predict what will happen if you dosomething.

Practice is doing,what happens when you do the thing.The better the theory,the better the match between your thoughts and predictions and what occurs in practice.Theories are theoretical,practice is practical.Together they make a smashing combination.

AFTER I have done various research on a topic or theory,when I have received many idea about something,I will express it through my work.I will research a topic such as leaves.The result of using that page in a creative work is called a work practice.

In this way,Knowledge on a subject be expressed through work and put into practical use.
