This is a crown for an urban wizard made out of cotton and nylon.
This is a picture of the art of knotting cotton known as Macrame. This could be used to embellish tailored pieces.
Ref: milestinsley.posterous.comI chose this image as I felt it would help with illustration when doing final trend predictions. This is actually noted as art on the website above.
Linda Barlow
This textile artist creates panels of hand-dyed natural fabrics, pieced, embroidered and quilted to form large, colourful wall-hangings. She works almost exclusively in natural fabrics. These are dyed and often over-dyed, painted, printed, discharged and manipulated to create the colour and texture required
for the work. The inspiration is often from travelling, in India and Australia, quotations and song lyrics.

I like the textures and colour shades within these hand dyed and stitched quilted pieces by Linda Barlow. particularly the harshness of the wave.

This is an a picture of an art quilt which are slowly emerging into the UK art scene. This is Art Quilt has been produced by contemporary artist Molly Bullick.She has combined natural fibres in which she has printed upon to create experiences of her travels in India which is what has led her into the textiles world. I love the way different moods are created and the natural earthy tones, as well as techniques used to create an atmosphere and natural touch such as bleaching and dying in certain areas.
The proper name these art quilts are known as Pojagi in India.

This contemporary artist lived in rural Maine after moving from Los Angeles where she learnt to"harvest colour from local wild flowers and trees. She inlays fine linens with naturally died silk from hedgerows and trees. she now lives in Scotland.
"I like to investigate the potential relationship in textiles between structure and colour: in weaving with naturally dyed silk and linen, with natural coloured Shetland wool in less loom-based techniques. Colour and image are often inspired by the fields and tides of the Solway coast near where I live".

I was inspired by Alison's work as she has a very natural approach to her art using natural techniques. Also the first picture shown here of hers is an example of the kinda tight and loose knit structure I would like to convey in my A/W trend for 2011-12.
