TextileHistory

This is a great pic of me pointing out how I must have looked most of the time in my education in Dublin, Ireland. We participated also on few guided tours and that really was interesting. It is important to know the history to be able to create something new. (Russborough House)

I learnt more about Soho art in textiles. It is a good reminder of it that cultural appropriation is not a new thing and fashion has always based some points to it through the entire costume history. (Russborough House)

Fire screes have interesting connection on fashion. They protected people's makeup to melt away while people were sitting by the fire to keep themselves warm. The servant always moved the fire screen between a person and fire depending on it whose face was in the biggest risk to fall off. Losing someones face (or not to) comes from this time and is still a proper saying in the modern world. (Malahide castle)

Very beautiful and perfect embroidery. I love the castles and houses where they have saved the textiles too! (Malahide Castle)

Beautiful lace with famous "Vitruvian wave - wave scroll - running dog - Greek key" pattern in Irish castle. (Malahide Castle)

Medieval woolen cloak in Archaeological Museum of Ireland. If you are interested about textile history and craft making, you should visit this museum if you ever visit Dublin. There are so many fascinating things to see which you are not allowed to photograph.
