#ECOALF MAKES FASHION #SUSTAINABLE WITH 500% #RECYCLED #FABRICS.

Prioritizing the planet since 2009. ECOALF has developed 500+ recycled fabrics to make a now steneration of recycled products. With the help of 4,300+ fishers across the Medi Mediterranean Sne. They transtons recovered waste into their ice Yarn to maksjackets, footwear, and bags Iconic Ocean

Fabrics are believed to have vibrational frequencies that can interact with the human body, and while there’s not a universally agreed-upon scale, some fabrics are thought to resonate at higher frequencies than others.

interesting anectdata: of the 7 #fabrics stores i usually peruse for deals, only 3 are offering #July4th sales and all but one have raised the threshold for getting free delivery. ALL OF THEM HAVE RAISED PRICES. none is affiliated with Wonky Luthor’s website.

in other words? #MAGAnomics is fucking the very petit burgeois (aka small business owners, some singlenaires) that traditionally vote #Republican #GOP and went hard for #Trump.

Conflicted as I have reached the stage where ideally I want to purge most of the fabrics and bits that have been living with me in my studio for at least 5 years, somethings as much as 20 years… But then I am working on a size modification this morning and there was a request to add an embellishment that I just need a .25 m square of white peau de soie to match this existing piece.

And I have it in my bits and offcuts stash.

Tomorrow at the Studio Purge/ Yard Sale I hope to send off many things to new homes- but I’ll be taking time later today to sort and keep a selection of pieces for future -just in case- moments…

“Rachel Halton still doesn’t know who made the decision, in October 2022, to summarily decommission the $160,000 #JacquardLoom that had been a cornerstone of #RMIT’s renowned #weaving and #textile #design courses for 20 years.

Nearly 3 metres high and weighing more than half a tonne, the loom was an intricate machine of polished wood, steel, compressed air and #mechatronics: simultaneously a grand monument to the golden age of the #TextileIndustry and a modern #tool for weaving strands of #yarn into intricate #fabrics. Halton knew she couldn’t let it end up in landfill.”

“The loom was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and one of only a handful in the world, bought for the university’s #Brunswick campus in the early 2000s, soon after Halton started teaching there. It “elevated what you could do as an artist”, she says.

Students enrolled just to have access to it. International artists visited especially to weave on it. It became integral to Halton’s creative practice.”

“Watt has “a very special affinity” with the loom. It isn’t just the time she spent working on it at RMIT, or that it sat in her home for months after it was rescued. She’s also been using her coding skills – self-taught – to update its electronics. It’s as though technology is lapping back on itself, given that #Jacquard #PunchCards inspired the basis of #ModernComputing.”

This is why Australia can’t compute.
