  • “Al-Tally” Ascension Journey from an Egyptian Folk Art to International Fashion Trend
    مجمة العمارة والفنون العدد العاشر “Al-tally” ascension journey from an Egyptian folk art to international fashion trend Dr. Noha Fawzy Abdel Wahab Lecturer at fashion department -The Higher Institute of Applied Arts Introduction: Tally is a netting fabric embroidered with metal. The embroidery is done by threading wide needles with flat strips of metal about 1/8” wide. The metal may be nickel silver, copper or brass. The netting is made of cotton or linen. The fabric is also called tulle-bi-telli. The patterns formed by this metal embroidery include geometric figures as well as plants, birds, people and camels. Tally has been made in the Asyut region of Upper Egypt since the late 19th century, although the concept of metal embroidery dates to ancient Egypt, as well as other areas of the Middle East, Asia, India and Europe. A very sheer fabric is shown in Ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. The fabric was first imported to the U.S. for the 1893 Chicago. The geometric motifs were well suited to the Art Deco style of the time. Tally is generally black, white or ecru. It is found most often in the form of a shawl, but also seen in small squares, large pieces used as bed canopies and even traditional Egyptian dresses. Tally shawls were made into garments by purchasers, particularly during the 1920s. ملخص البحث: التمي ىو نوع من انواع االتطريز عمى اقمشة منسوجة ويتم ىذا النوع من التطريز عن طريق لضم ابر عريضة بخيوط معدنية مسطحة بسمك 1/8" تصنع ىذه الخيوط من النيكل او الفضة او النحاس.واﻻقمشة المستخدمة في صناعة التمي تكون مصنوعة اما من القطن او الكتان.

  • MAKE YOUR OWN SCRUBBIE Create Your Netting Yarn Step 1 Lay Your
    MAKE YOUR OWN SCRUBBIE Create Your Netting Yarn Step 1 Lay your yard of netting (When I was doing craft sales I bought 5 yard lengths.) out on the floor or table (I use my bed or couch and pin it down.). Fold netting to make several layers into a long rectangle, as it came off the bolt. It’s still folded. Try to line up the folded edge as straight as you can. (I put a few pins in to hold the folded piece together.) Step 2 Cut strips 3 to 4 inches in width down the length of the folded rectangle, cutting perpendicular to the end of the fabric to get the longest strips. Cut from the fold out to the opposite edge. Remember it’s folded so the width of the first strip will be double when opened. Therefore cut the first strip narrower(about 1½ inches) . Your first strip (and the last one or two) will be a little irregular when you begin to use it. Your creativity will dictate how to adjust. We are not concerned about perfection here. If you are a perfectionist, buy a machine made scrubbie. If you want a two colored scrubbie cut 1½ to 2 inch strips from both colors and use both strands like one strip. (See the red and white one shown in step 5.) Step 3 Tie the ends of the strips together with a simple knot to form one continuous strip. Wind the strips into a ball if you wish. (I cut the strips as I use them.) Crochet a Simple Scrubbie Step 1 Tie the free end of the strip of nylon net into a slip knot and place the loop over a medium-sized crochet hook, size J or K, and chain four.

A Study of Fashionable Silk Veiling, Maline, and Tulle from 1904 by Joanne Dolan A group of silk net, veiling, tulle, and maline, all sheer draping fabrics produced in unique patterns and colors is the subject of this paper. They form part of a larger collection of materials in a variety of fabrications consisting of raffia, feathers, paper, horsehair, sequins, and chenille. The amassed group is contained in a sample book dated Printemps 1904, and suggests that it may have served as a millinery swatch service book. I intend to focus only on the silk draping materials and examine their fabrication, design, and use in millinery during the first decade of the twentieth century. In addition I will draw comparisons to their geometric designs with the universality of geometry as a source of pattern.

This region was the heart of the Egyptian textile industry in the 19th century. • Assiut is spelled a variety of ways. It’s transliterated from Arabic into English and there are no set spelling conventions. The two most widely accepted spellings for the name of this Egyptian city are Assiut and Asyut, but there are dozens of variations on this spelling. When performing key-word searches, be sure to use every variation you can think of, including these assuit, asuit, asyute, azute, and even azoot. • The ground cloth is made from cotton tulle, named after the lace capi- tal of France. However, the machine used to make the mesh ground cloth was invented in 1806-1808 by English inventor John Heathcoat.

  • “The Guide Through Death” and “The Fat Lady” by Guadalupe Dueñas
    “The Guide through Death” and “The Fat Lady” by Guadalupe Dueñas translated by Josie Hough RT/TC 004 (2020) ISSN: 2694-2801 2 Instituto Cervantes at Harvard University (FAS) Observatorio de la lengua española y las culturas hispánicas en los Estados Unidos / Observatory of the Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures in the United States 2 Arrow Street 4th fl., Faculty of Arts and Sciences - Harvard University. Cambridge, MA 02138 – USA http://cervantesobservatory.fas.harvard.edu [email protected] Introduction These two short stories are part of the Obras completas [Complete Works] of Guadalupe Dueñas, most recently published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 2017. Like much of Dueñas’ work, Guía en la muerte [The Guide through Death] is written in the first person. The narrator describes a tour of the Museo de las Momias in Guanajuato, Mexico, detailing the tragic and twisted stories of different mummies in the museum, following the eponymous guide. Most have met their end because of some sort of sin or crime, and like many of Dueñas’ characters were destined for misfortune whether or not they complied with the stereotypical role expected of them. Equally, La dama gorda [The Fat Lady] tells the tale of a character who meets a tragic death because of her greed and gluttony, associating these sins with her wealth and social position. Dueñas’ work was heavily influenced by her Catholic beliefs, but her faith did not stop her writing critically of religion. Born in 1920, she did not fit the conventional role of a Catholic Mexican woman at her time, never marrying or having children, and she wrote of both matrimony and motherhood with disdain and irony.
