  • For Directions on How to Make Shisha Click Here
    TORANS There are several sources for buying torans. Traditions in downtown Olympia sometimes has them and most belly dance events that have vendors will have some for sale. Some of them don’t have very many mirrors. Also Mas Uda has a “home made pattern for making the torans, as the “ready mades” don’t fit some dancers well. Making “Shisha “ 1. Make a straight stitch across one side of the mirror bring your needle up a little above the mirror and make another straight stitch down one side. 2. Work a "square" of straight stitches then another "square" on top, in the same way, but across the corners of the previous square. These foundation stitches need to be tight, and not too close to the edge of the mirror - work into these, and they will pull outwards; too loose or too near the edge, and the mirror will not be held securely. 3. Bring your needle up next to the mirror (anywhere) pass it under the foundation stitches, keeping the thread under the point of the needle (as though it were a blanket stitch). Pull tight. 4. Make a small stitch into the fabric, alongside the mirror, again keeping the thread under the needle (like a chain stitch). 5. Pass the needle under the foundation threads (remember to keep the thread under the needle). 6. Make another small stitch into the fabric, inserting the needle into the previous "chain" stitch. Repeat steps 5 and 6 all round the mirror, then finish thread securely on the back. Most people work clockwise around the mirror, as shown here.

  • Razzle-Dazzle: the Language of Ornament in Asian Costume and Textiles, June 16, 2006-October 15, 2006
    Razzle-Dazzle: The Language of Ornament in Asian Costume and Textiles, June 16, 2006-October 15, 2006 Shells, mirrors, beads, seeds, metal disks, coins, sequins, feathers; these are only some of the items that have been used to make clothing and textiles jingle, sparkle, and jiggle. Throughout time, all over the world, in every society, humans have embellished their clothing in ways that signal status and religion or serve as talismanic, flirtatious, or protective charms. These days, many Westerners have lost touch with the symbolic power of ornament applied to apparel, dismissing such adornment as superficial, artificial, and even disingenuous. The group of objects in this exhibition spanning the Asian world reminds viewers of the pleasure and meaning that such materials may convey. The English word "ornament" derives from the Latin ornare, meaning "to equip, get ready, or fit out." Some have pushed this definition one step further, suggesting that the term also expresses completion. Although not a structural necessity, ornament makes an object whole. How differently might we look upon certain articles in this gallery if they did not include gold for its inherent wealth and homage to hierarchy, purity, and indestructibility; silver, metal, and sequins for their associations with prosperity and protection; mirrors for their power to ward off malevolence; beads and seeds for their correlations with fortune, resiliency, and fertility; and feathers for their regal connotations? Lacking such accoutrements, these textiles would take on another function, causing the wearer to behave in another fashion and the beholders to interpret the behavior in other ways. The thread of meaning would dissolve.

  • Indian Embroidery ULITA Exhibition
    Indian Embroidery ULITA Exhibition May – December 2015 Panel text © ULITA – an Archive of International Textiles Indian Embroidered Textiles in ULITA The majority of the Indian textiles in the ULITA Collection were transferred from the West Riding Educational Resource Service, Bretton Hall, which took museum objects into schools during the 1970s-80s. These included contemporary costume. The museum already held a collection of Kashmiri shawls and embroidered shawl fragments, many collected by Sir Michael Sadler (a former Vice-Chancellor of the University). Several recent donations are exhibited, include two phulkari and this Gujarati boys smock. Indian Embroidery In gaining an understanding of Indian embroidery it is important to consider India’s position in relation to other countries, and its past trade, invasions and migration patterns. In the early 20th century this would have involved the whole subcontinent, but this has now been divided into the countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. The movement of peoples though the subcontinent meant that similar embroidery can be found throughout these countries despite boundaries. India also lies along the trade routes of Asia, resulting in influences from both West (Persia) and East (China). Its extensive coastline has also enabled trade to flourish, with many countries, particularly the Europeans, several later becoming invaders. Various ethnic groups make up the population of India today. As in the past, specific techniques still generally relate to particular regions. Each still has its own identity, based on religion, patterns, cultural traditions and market requirements. In India, textiles are everywhere: on clothes, adorning animals, in temples and in homes. These items form part of the traditional way of life.

Embroidering the Golden Chersonese: Metallic Thread Needlework in the Malay Peninsula Hwei-Fe’n Cheah [email protected] Historians emphasize the diversity and fluidity of Malay world identity and culture, questioning the very meaning of “Malayness.”1 A summary glance at early twentieth century examples of metallic thread needlework reveals the “mixed and many” Malay embroidery styles.2 While these styles have been associated with different regions,3 the relationships between them have not been examined closely. This paper assesses examples of late 19th and early 20th century embroideries from four regions in the Malay peninsula. Although not comprehensive, it highlights two particular features of peninsular Malay embroideries – the use of glass and the ways in which plant forms are crystallized – as flexible means through which embroiderers and their patrons articulated a broader shared history alongside local interpretations.
