It is entirely due to Tumblr that when I saw these and the Louvre’s title for them, “Weaving Cardboard”, I not only knew their function but knew I should yell TEXTILE ARTISTS, CHECK IT OUT! Ancient tablet weaving tools I have brought from the Louvre here for you! 

[ID: A pile of small square pieces of carved boxwood; each is very thin, and has four holes drilled into it, for use in “card weaving”.]

The ancient world was full of textile masterpieces we can only imagine... but most of them have rotted away. So few of them have come down to us in these days that we think of metal and stone as the primary mediums for the oldest artworks. But there were tapestries and fabric work that would have rivaled the finest wrought gold and iron and the first cave paintings.

If I'm honest, the whole "love in every stitch" saying for fiber artists does not apply to me, like. I'm trying to get this fucking hook into stubborn yarn and I'll be stabbing it like it owed me money. Is that love because I hope not 😭💀

#art #crochet #honestly the closest thing i feel to love when crocheting is this feeling that this is bigger than me if that makes sense... #...i think it'sthe feeling of knowing how old the craft itself is and knowing that millions of people have done the same as you... #...millions of people have stabbed their crochet hook into the yarn because it's stubborn but so are you... #...millions of people in the past have sat and devoted their time and effort into all of this... #...millions of people have passed on this knowledge and kept this thing alive... #...and it's the feeling of knowing that humans across millenia aren't THAT different #to our core we are more or less similar - across the ages across the colours across everything. that really comforts and humbles me #have you looked up ancient textiles? because that also sparks these emotions in me #it makes me think about the tupes of people to make the textile but also about who wore it #and so many of them are still beautiful and colourful and it shows you SO MUCH about the people who made them #even the ones that are tattered and faded and stripped of colour still feel beautiful... #...because it has SURVIVED. it is evidence of a people who made it and a people who had technical skills #and THIS is why i HATE HATE HATE the idea that ancient people were just 'dumb' and 'uneducated' #that is so unfair to them and cruel and just. wrong. (and often it reeks of white supremacy) #i'm sorry i rant and rave about this so much but i canNOT be normal about this. i can't be normal about humanity #i am learning to love humanity and learn about us and learn everything and it'll never be enough - i will never know enough #i will never know everything about everybody and it will be the death of me #okay the only thing i liked about the greatest showman movie was Never Enough because that is me thinking about all this

Miley Cyrus at the Grammys 2024, wearing Ancient Egypt-inspired net dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiela, constructed entirely from safety pins.

It took 675 hours of craftsmanship, using 14,000 safety pins.

This dress refers back to one from Galliano's Fall 1997 ready-to-wear collection.

This definitely looks like the protagonist of a webcomic from the late 1990s. 

[ID: A small fragment of tapestry, cream-colored, with two thick black circles separated by a very thin border of white triangles; in the center of the second black circle is an image of a person from the shoulders-up, wearing a black shapeless covering. They have dark, heavy brows, wide expressive eyes, and black curly hair in a cloud around their head.]

had to get a new warping board for my loom bc mine broke several months ago and i haven't had the energy or will to fix it (it's a handmade wooden one my late stepdad made for me, so i WILL fix it i have to fix it for sentimental reasons but i just can't right now) so after putting it off for ages i finally bit the bullet and ordered a new one. i hate how expensive this equipment is it's literally just 4 pieces of wood with dowels wym it's $160 kms. whatever i can finally weave again

#there are ways to measure a warp without a board but i hate them #i actually hate warping boards too i prefer warping mills 100 times over but they are like minimum $300. evil #you can use an inkle loom for short warps and the rigid heddle loom i have can work as a warping board #but not when its got a warp and project in progress already on it so its only really useful as a board for itself #i just really dont like methods other than a big warping mill so using anything else feels miserable #i love those big ass ancient warping mills they have at textilmidstod and at my old unis textile studio nobody gets me like they do

Berlin, Antikensammlung F2294

This image indicates metalworking (bronze) artisans creating things. Tools are along the walls as well as a shrine to Hephaestus and possibly Athena. Work shrines typically do not survive so this depiction of it in the metalworking shop is quite fascinating!
