Here's my wee Short about the silk museum Almgren that I visited today. youtube.com/shorts/YB1md... #historicaltextiles #thewayfaringpath #sweden #sverige #silk #stockholm
Tlingit culture, found in Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, is rich in traditions centered on family, art, spirituality, and a deep connection to the sea. Key aspects include a matrilinea! kinship system, intricate wood carvings, and a strong emphasis on potlatches and respect for the natural world, particularly salmon. Descent and inheritance are traced through the mother's line, and clan membership is passed down through the mother's family. Tlingit society is organized into moieties (Raven-Crow and Eagle-Wolf) and further divided into autonomous clans, each with its own crests. The Tlingit are renowned for their intricate wood carvings, particularly totem poles, canoes, and ceremonial objects, often incorporating clan crests and animal motifs. A ceremonial feast where hosts give away possessions to demonstrate wealth and status, strengthening social bonds and reaffirming clan relationships.

Tomorrow is the Dublin launch for Textiles of Ireland, Archaeology, Craft, Art, Elizabeth Wincott Heckett, edited by Mary Ann Williams.
Those in Dublin come along for chats on Ireland's archaeological textile profile. See below.
My try on Birka B9 in two-hole technique. I really like it despite that the second motive is slightly out of proportion. Soon finished

There is a blue and light grey tablet woven band on a table. The belt has a distinct pattern based on an archaeological find from Viking age Birka, Sweden. It consists of alternating S-shapes and X shapes.
It's finished! The woven part is 2m long and tassels add cca 10 cm on each end. Very soon listed in my little shop www.svetlonoska.com
Based on an archaeological find from the Viking age Sweden commonly known as "Birka B9"

Photo taken from the article, it shows balls of woad, which is how the dyestuff would have been sold.
Paper rec: Hayward, M. (2015) 'Dressed in blue: the impact of woad on English clothing, c.1350-c.1670', Costume, 49(2), pp. 168-185. doi.org/10.1179/0590... Interesting article, especially with woad being such an old, recorded, dye. #DressHistory #HistoricalTextiles

I love Jacobean #blackwork, aka #holbeinstitch, a centuries-old form of embroidery that involves precision and repetition. This piece, that fits in the palm of your hand, took about 6 hours. Any other blackwork enthusiasts out there? #sewing #embroidery #handsewing #textiles #historicaltextiles
