Santa Fe, New Mexico 2015 Proceedings Glass to Fabric: Dale Chihuly’s Blown Glass Inspired Design Anupama Pasricha, St. Catherine University, USA Key words: Needle felting, fiber art, Dale Chihuly The purpose of this swing coat is to expand the legacy of one art form into the other. For my creative work, world-renowned Dale Chihuly's blown glass sculpture designs translated into fiber art. The shapes, texture, color in objects and scenes from the natural world inspired my imagination to visualize it on fabric. On this coat, the motif on the back and the shoulders are based on Dale's Sealife Tower and the motif on the front is based on his Icicle Tower. I selected the Sealife Tower as it provided me a perfect free flow of design energy and color coordination. I chose to place it on back starting at hem and converging towards the upper back creating harmonic poise on a solid textured background. I decided to add variety in color by extending the color palette by including the gold yellow for the Icicle Tower in front. I achieved a balance amid unity and diversity. I sewed this swing coat from a donated boiled wool fabric in off black color. The seams were thoughtfully chosen to take advantage of unraveling quality of the boiled wool fabric and to Page 1 of 2 © 2015, International Textile and Apparel Association, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ITAA Proceedings, #72 – www.itaaonline.org 2015 Proceedings Santa Fe, New Mexico manage seam bulk. The coat has top-stitching detail. The fabric was a perfect canvas to create a captivating design with needle felting using special needles with directional notches. The needle entangles the loose fiber and embeds it in the fabric. After needle felting, I steam pressed the design areas from the wrong side to felt and embed fibers in the base fabric weave. Then I finished hems with buttonhole stitch using a fine merino wool yarn in exact matching color to make it unnoticeable. This work facilitates transposing one art form to the other expanding their scope. Making art builds knowledge and transforms lives (Ingold, 2013). New inspirations and designs give impetus to current art forms. Needle felting is an art form of repetitive yet therapeutic motion, and that is similar to other art forms such as embroidery, weaving, and knitting. This work can follow Stannard & Sanders (2015) footsteps to explore it through the lens of Uses and Gratification Theory. References Chihuly, D. (2012). Chihuly garden and glass.

Photo: David Reese The Obiko ArtWear Archive documents and celebrates the work of Bay Area clothing and jewelry designers whose work was showcased at Sandra Sakata’s renowned boutique, Obiko. In the 1970s- through the 1990s, one-of-a-kind Art Wear blossomed in a culture that embraced global design. The influence of Asian and African ethnic costume and textile techniques is particularly evident in the aesthetic of this remarkable era. The archive includes a collection of designers’ work, four fashion shows, oral histories, photos and memories. The Textile Art Council hopes that the archive will be a great discovery and resource for future generations. © 2014 Textile Arts Council Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, all rights reserved | Design: Nancy Rosenblum, Frisco Graphics OBIKO ART WEAR ARCHIVE PROJECT TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

One-of-a-kind wearables emerged on both the east and west coasts, drawing on an anti-fashion street style approach. Two seminal galleries, Julie:Artisans in New York City and Obiko in San Francisco, provided a showcase for this work. I began my career on the east coast in the late 60s during an extraordinary time consumed by nationwide political protests and self expression.

  • 2019 Fall & Winter Collection
    2019 FALL & WINTER COLLECTION A Note From The Designer At Callanan Hats, we know our customer and we design with her in mind. She has a timeless sense of style, portrayed in understated chic. I like to design hats that are beautiful and timeless, not over cluttered with excessive trims and ornamentation. I like clean silhouettes that enhance the wearer’s confidence and style. A Callanan hat should enhance and not distract from the wearer’s beauty. Since my first collection in 1986, I have never tired of introducing American ladies to the fun and mystique of wearing romantic hats. Be it at the beach or a special occasion, a Callanan hat adds a sense of je ne sais quoi. After graduating from FIT-Fashion Institute of Technology NYC in 1984, I had the great fortune of working on bespoke hats for NYC Opera’s repertoire like Rigoletto (1988), Broadway shows and movies like Working Girl (1988) with Melanie Griffith, Eight Men Out (1988), Sommersby (1993) with Richard Gere and Jodi Foster, The Birdcage (1996) with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, to name a few. In 1995 Dorfman Pacific Hat Company acquired the Callanan label and it is an honor to present my 24th collection for them this year-2019. A hat is a very special accessory, it delivers instant glamor. Hats can say many things about the wearer from “look at me” to “leave me alone” as when they are used as shields by celebrities from the paparazzi. Wear them in good health!

    Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit Outdoors-Magazine.com http://outdoors-magazine.com Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit Schwert - Skills and guides - Bushcraft and Survival - Publication: Wednesday 6 October 2004 Description : Part I of this article covers the on-body kit designed to provide basic needs of shelter, warmth, water and communication in the event of an urban disaster. Copyright (c) Outdoors-Magazine.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike License Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 1/23 Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit Preparation Philosophy My preparation philosophy relies both upon a set of useful tools and a related set of skills. Basic kit is carried/worn at all times with each item chosen to meet some supposed need in a likely urban scenario. I believe in what I call my "concentric ring" approach to kits. The inner ring is the basic on-body kit, the next ring consists of a coat/hat kit and my shoulder carry bag of items, the next ring is a desk kit, followed by car and home kits. As the rings expand, the kit items become either more numerous, larger or more specialized. The on-body kit is designed to meet basic needs of shelter, water and communication plus some specialized needs likely in my workplace. The larger kits include increased communications, better shelter, more capable and complete first aid etc all the way up to the home kit which includes CERT and RACES team gear (Community Emergency Response Team, and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, more about these later).
