#embroidery — Public Fediverse posts

Heute ist eine ältere Dame in mein Atelier gekommen, die den Artikel über @DasgruenePony in der @Stadtkind gelesen hatte. Sie fand, dass ihre alten Leinenschätzchen bei mir am besten aufgehoben wären. Toll, oder? ☺️ Sie verkleinert sich mit ihrer Wohnung, sortiert daher aus.

Ich find’s knorke, dass sie sich extra dafür auf den Weg gemacht hat. Sehr nachhaltig das Ganze, 👍🏼.

Mal sehen, was ich daraus nach dem Waschen machen werde. Vielleicht färben?

Kunjina Tesfaye on Growth and Preserving #Artisanal Techniques.

#Handweaving, #embroidery and #fabric manipulation are design elements that communicate stories about Ethiopia. “If you’ve seen photos of #Ethiopians wearing the traditional white dress, it’s handwoven.”

Interview with Kunjina Tesfaye.

When Kunjina Tesfaye talks about UDET, her eponymous #fashion label Kunjina’s collection, growth radiates. #UDET is a Geez word meaning cycle. Inspired by Ms. Tesfaye’s personal experience, this collection explores fear, productivity guilt, and growth. “It’s like a butterfly’s story or growth from the first stage, from the caterpillar stage into becoming a butterfly. I’ve used that metaphor to explain how a person goes through these stages to flourish and become the person they want. It’s a cycle. It’s not a one-time thing.”

Since her debut as a twentysomething with a degree in construction technology, Ms. Tesfaye’s life and creative approach have evolved. “Every time I make a collection I’ve grown – my designs and the brand and the aesthetics, everything has changed or has grown.” Today, Kunjina has developed into a platform for local #artists. They lobby for growth, preserve traditional #handcrafting methods, and promote #ecofriendly practices.
