  • TROVE at ICFF 2014 Release FINAL
    TROVE BRINGS STUNNING NEW SPRING COLLECTION TO ICFF New York, NY, May 17-20 Booth #2006 (May, 2014 – New York, NY) Returning to ICFF this year, Trove celebrates spring with an alluring new collection of images and patterns that once again push the dimension of wallpaper design in beautiful and unexpected ways. Jee Levin and Randall Buck, co- founders of Trove, are innovative multimedia designers who approach each new collection as artists to a blank canvas. Drawing influences from myriad media and experiences—from architecture, film and art history to travel and nature—this new collection exhibits the distinctive qualities of Trove designs: surprising scale, unconventional color palette, and a poetry and grace that transforms walls into works of art, inviting interpretation. At ICFF in the Javits Center (Booth #2006), Trove will present five arresting new designs: Allee, Rinceau, Grotte, Suichuka, and Macondo along with Trace, a recently released design that makes its ICFF debut this year. All of the patterns are available in 6 colorways and in Trove’s signature scale, which repeats at 12-foot high and 6-foot wide and can be customized to height. Allee Allee presents an expansive dreamscape inspired by Alain Resnais’ 1961 film, “Last Year at Marienbad.” Set in an unspecified formal garden, the film plays with spatial and temporal shifts in scenes to create an ambiguous narrative. The designers translate the cinematic repetition to photographic repetition, composing a landscape organized around a central pathway thereby inviting the passerby to wander into this mise en scene. Rinceau French for foliage, “rinceau” describes a style of filigree that is characterized by leafy stems, florid swirls and sinuous natural elements.

Dr. Abid Hadi Associate Professor Dept. of Fine Arts, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh (U.P.) Date: ii ABSTRACT The content of this thesis proposes organized studies under the title of ‘Contemporary Embossing Art Practices in India’. However the focus of the thesis renders the embossing art practices in moderation to the contemporary field of fine arts, it attempts in deriving the historic contexts, as well as it intends to approach the futuristic potentiality. The arguments revolve around how the practices of groups of a significant artist in India have been working with conceptual and formal innovations in embossed art practices that transcend local histories and conventions.

    4-H Fiber Arts Project Guide In the Oregon 4-H Fiber Arts project, youth learn to manipulate fiber through one or more steps to a finished product. Fibers include those from plants and animals, as well as some that are human-made. Members can learn the various ways to handle each kind. Most techniques in this proj- ect have existed for many years, and their uses have adapted as times have changed. The 4-H Fiber Arts Project gives 4-H youth the opportunity to explore 13 techniques of working with fiber: • Weaving • Embroidery • Basketry • Needlepoint • Spinning • Appliqué • Felting • Patchwork • Macramé and knotting • Quilting • Braiding • Papermaking • Hooking Once members learn basic techniques, there are endless opportunities for them to Contents develop their creativity and design sense.

  • Choosing Paper
    Lecture 13 Choosing Paper Paper Basics Pulp Paper, whether produced in a modern factory or by hand is made up of connected fibers. Paper is primarily made from wood but it can also be made from linen, cotton or other cellulose fibers from plants. In the most simple terms paper is made by softening, or mixing, vegetable fibers in hot water until they are an evenly blended mixture called pulp. The pulp is diluted and distributed over a screen to allow the water to drain out. The result is a layer of interlaced fibers known as paper. Most fiber today comes from wood that has been purposely harvested for the paper industry. A combination of hardwood (from deciduous trees) and softwoods (from coniferous trees) are used based upon the desired properties of the finished sheet. In the pulp mill, the bark is removed and the wood is cut up into small chips. These chips are cooked with chemicals under pressure in digesters to separate the fibers. The resulting pulp is washed, cleaned and bleached and is delivered to the paper mill as pulp. Non-integrated paper mills don’t have a pulp mill, so they purchase all the pulp they require. At the mill the pulp is mixed with water in a large blender called a pulper. Various materials including broke (trimmings and waste from the papermaking industry), postconsumer waste fibers (though they cannot be reused forever), dyes, colorings, fillers and sizings may be added. Additives to the pulp enhance ink holdout, improve whiteness and increase opacity. Papermaking In order to turn the pulp into paper, the pulp is pumped into large automated machines such as the Fourdrinier machine.
