Efforts to combine the shibori and embroidery technique to add aesthetic value and provide a special texture. Besides that, it is expected to produce a different visual appearance from merely giving patterns to fabrics with the shibori technique. The stages of the design method include problem analysis, problem-solving strategies, data collection, and the visual study process. The results of the design are sheets of shibori patterned fabric, namely Arashi shibori and itajime shibori combined with embroidery techniques by raising the idea of dandelion flower motifs on the surface of the fabric to give a new impression on the shibori fabric

Based on the results of the above research, the writer see an opportunity to be able to further explore snapper scales material as a new alternative material, especially embellishment material for fashion products. The writer will then expand the exploration to focus on developing and optimizing snapper scales material as one of the embellishment material innovations applied to couture, which is the highest level in fashion classification pyramid. This level is influenced by several elements including the choice of material used i.e. the quality and luxurious embellishment material. The aim of this study is to prove that snapper scales can be process, functioned and used equally compare to other embellishment. The unique characteristic of the scales itself makes this material worth selling and can be applied to fashion couture using embroidery design technique. The writer will then make further exploration by developing series of steps according to snapper scales characteristics based on embroidery technique and with the application of embellishment material in general. The result of this exploration is expected to be an innovation and new material variation that can be developed in couture design. Methodology used in this study is comparative method by comparing snapper scales with other embellishment materials in general including beads, sequins, and stones.

Dragons in the Drawing Room: Chinese Embroideries in British Homes
Chinese embroideries have featured in British domestic interiors since at least the seventeenth century. However, Western imperial interests in China during the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth century created a particular set of meanings around Chinese material culture, especially a colonial form of nostalgia for pre-nineteenth century China, with its emperors and 'exotic' court etiquette. This article examines the use of Chinese satin-stitch embroideries in British homes between 1860 and 1949, and explores how a range of British identities was constructed through the ownership, manipulation and display of these luxury Chinese textiles

Conversations about creativity and chronic illness I: Textile artists coping with long-term health problems reflect on the origins of their interest in art
This qualitative study explored the origins of interest in textile arts among a group of women living with long-term health problems. The part that illness played in motivating engagement in creative arts was of particular concern. Twenty four women were interviewed, aged between 29-72 years. Most were hobbyists and but the sample included some publicly acclaimed textile artists. A minority had engaged in art continuously since their earlier years. Most of the women had discovered (or re-discovered) textile arts, in middle and later life. Several factors facilitated this. The narratives indicated that the women’s pre-existing resilient personality as well as extensive support structures may have encouraged a reflective attitude and a problem-solving approach to living with illness. The experience of biographical disruption, stemming from the crisis of illness, dissatisfaction with unproductive time and a growing need for self-fulfilment, appeared to create a search for a meaningful occupation. The discovery of textile art as a meaningful occupation (as opposed to other ways of living with illness) appeared to be encouraged by early role models, enjoyment of art at school, the discovery that adult personal and professional interests could be expressed through artwork, and chance events. Textile art at school appeared to provide a form of ‘cultural capital’ for these women, who returned to this art medium and the skills learned earlier, when crisis occurred. The findings indicate that a negative event such as illness may have life-enhancing effects. Rehabilitation specialists might focus more on the arts as a resource for adults living with illness.
