Recordando mi visita a la exhibicion del arquitecto y diseñador textil austriaco Joseph Franks en el Museo de la Moda y Textiles en Londres. Nadie diria que los tejidos aparecieron en los años 30 y 40, se ven tan actuales con tanto colorido. Descubri sus tulipanes hace años en Liberty's y son fan desde entonces.
Remembering the Joseph Franks exhibition at the Fashion and Textiles Museum in London. The designs feel timeless, an injection of optimism with such a riot of color. I came across his work years ago at Liberty's and became a fan, buying some tulip place mats which I regret gifting as I cannot buy them nowadays.

Ganchilleando con trapillo - Crocheting with t-shirt yarn
Probando nuevos materiales y aprendiendo nuevos puntos y tecnicas. El punto bajo centrado (enlace a video) que he usado en estas cestas es muy versatil, facilita el diseno pudiendo usar graficos de punto de cruz con la tecnica del ganchillo tapiceria o jacquard.
Trying new materials, stitches and techniques. Enjoying how quick the work progresses with t-shirt yarn also known as spaghetty yarn. This one is from Tiger and is very reasonably priced with plenty of stores nearby, a drawback is color availability which can be quite unpredictable. I learnt crochet knit stitch/waistcoat stitch which is very versatile, it adapts itself very easily to tapestry/jacquard crochet designs.

Shibori in Portobello
A quick dash around Portobello last Saturday to buy some cotton ribbon ended up with this discovery. While there I came across this gorgeous stall selling Japanese Shibori stuff.
Buscando el puesto de pasameria en el mercado de Portobello me encontre con uno nuevo vendiendo Shibori. Una tecnica de teñido japonesa, que algun dia aprendere, mientras tanto miro videos y paginas como esta.

Moneando
Sigo recortando, como se acerca el Año Nuevo Chino y el que entra es el del mono pues eso monos por doquier. Mi favorito es mama mona con su monito a la espalda.

PaPeleando
Sigo haciendo cosas con papel. Ahora aprendiendo a hacer kudusamas, son unas bolas de papel hechas con multitud de piezas identicas. Aqui las dos que llevo , la multicolor de doce piezas y la rosita de 30. Llevan su tiempo, mas que nada al montarlas. Los enlaces pare el octaedro multicolor aqui y aqui el video de la Kudusama Aline de Tadashi Mori .

Paper Thanks - Gracias de papel
A few days ago I was giving a present and a card to say thank you. It occurred to me to merge them both and this is the result. A "Thank You" message written down with origami letters, in this case the ones from Jo Nakasima found online here.
Hace poco regale algo a modo de gracias, pero pense que quizas seria una buena idea añadir el mensaje al paquete. Pero como mi caligrafia deja algo que desear recorde el alfabeto de origami que creo Jo Nakasima y me puse manos a la obra.
