Textile City

This is a blog about textiles and fibre art but some posts present works in other media and some depict natural objects. Both kinds of material are here because they offer visual ideas that seem relevant to textiles and provide inspiration for my own (very amateur) work. Thanks for visiting, good to meet you and welcome to Textile City! -- "We learn courage from art work. We have to go where no one was before us. We are alone and we are responsible for our actions. Our solitariness takes on religious character: this is a matter of my conscience and me." (Anni Albers)

In Alhaurín de la Torre, (Spain), residents have used recycled textile material creating this beautiful coating on the streets of the city to create shade.

This is a clever idea - using embroidery to depict an aerial view of the English landscape.  You can see more here from Victoria Rose Richards work.  https://mymodernmet.com/aerial-landscape-embroidery-victoria-rose-richards/?fbclid=IwAR3vZY03AjlHwnGAvYp4e6FLCynvVhTb3B5yVpAUTpvUt9KfA7cVXBCNcr8
