Gujarat Patola and cotton cloths

August 26, 2010 de aaaa   comments (0)

Patolas are dofus kamas complex cloths requiring months to weave. With an intricate knowledge of dyeing, the Gujarati weavers managed to create some of the most extraordinary cloths through a process of ikat weaving which involved the precise dyeing of both the weft and warp thread systems. These extraordinary cloths have maintained their value right into modern times and the techniques and processes associated with Patola weaving are secret to this day.

It should be noted that some of the more valuable cloths like wow gold the Patan Patolas, expensive and coveted even in India, that were brought to Indonesia for the purposes of trade were not of the highest quality weave, such as that sold in India. This fact clearly implies that the Patolas the traders brought to Indonesia were woven expressly for the overseas market, perhaps to fulfil explicit orders.

By the time the Dutch arrived in Indonesia, Patola textiles had become synonymous with status and spiritual power and hence authority. The right to own and wear Patola rested with the nobility, and being able to own or wear a Patola gave a family instant status.

The designs and lengths that were exported to Indonesia cheap wow accounts were very specific and do not occur in the corresponding Indian inventory. However, the designs clearly conform to Indian aesthetic parameters and depict commonplace Indian themes rather than Indonesian ones. Hence it is likely that Indian weavers created specific styles and patterns exclusively for the Indonesian market, in turn establishing strict parameters for the exported Patola's spiritual language. Even a slight deviation from the established patterns meant that the cloths would not be accepted by Indonesian buyers.

The Patola's that made their way to Indonesia were decorated with storage rack Animal motifs and geometrical patterns. The most common of the animal motifs were the tiger and elephant repeat patterns. The more exclusive patterns were the ones with the caparisoned elephants; the fewer the elephants and the less-repetitive the pattern the more valuable the cloth.

These cloths were used to barter for items of great value such as land rights. All the animal Patolas were display textiles, used in two plus meter lengths as a backdrop for Pappy anemone the royal throne. The geometric patterns were mostly based on nature the most common ones are the eight point jasmine flower and a trellis flower pattern. The geometric Patolas have been found in longer lengths, and were used as turbans and waist sashes for nobility as depicted in royal paintings and aquatints by Dutch artists.

Another category of Patola was exported to Indonesia most probably at a much later time. These Patola cloths were stitched into trousers, sashes and head dresses for nobility. The patterns on he would only be prosecuted for these cloths are exactly similar to those found in Indian Patola and the high quality of weaving also suggests that these cloths were made for the Indian market and then converted into articles of royal clothing either in India or after shipment in Indonesia.

When the prices of Patola and the appetite for such cloths increased, cotton imitations, also made in India, began to appear on the market mostly for use as shoulder cloths by the laity.

Other cloths exported to Indonesia since the earliest times were the coarse cotton cloths from Cambay. The typical patterns were simple repeat patterns of floral block-printed Who knows with these people designs and cheap checked cloths that came to be commonly known as Cambay cloths.

The dyeing techniques consisted of mordant and resist dyeing and the rare hand painting. They were sent to Indonesia in bolts, to be cut to the required length for the buyer. Most cloths had no edges to signify the natural length of the cloth, though a few like the hamsa, the sacred goose pattern did have edges along the widths where they were to be cut. These cottons were used both as attire and wall hangings.

Therefore, it stands to reason that since similarly patterned cloths were being shipped to entirely different markets, the patterns must have originated in India. Many of the patterns Wow lovers themselves can be traced to copies of stone screens and trellises, and hybrid Hindu-Moslem patterns that were perfected by the fourteenth century. Wpj

 

Coromandel cloths traded in Indonesia

August 26, 2010 de aaaa   comments (0)

In the late sixteen-hundreds timberland boots for sale Golconda and Masulipatam along the eastern Coromandel Coast emerged as important centers of cotton exports, which were much more refined than their western precursors. Masulipatam had very close ties with Persia, gaining from the transfer of technology in the process of patterning and dyeing from Iran and other Islamic countries.

The Coromandel cloths were known by several names, Chintz, Kalamkari and Kling cloths. In the Indonesian language the nineteenth century shoulder cloths found in Sumatra Warhammer power leveling came to be called Kain Sembagi and Kain Lahore. The term chintz, derived from the Hindi cheent meaning a spray of drops was used equally for painted and printed cloths. The chintz of Coromandel became famous for its fine detail, sweet delicate patterns, and durability of dyes.

The term Kalamkari (from the Persian word kalam meaning pen), meaning literally 'penmanship' was used because the Coromandel cloths were often patterned lacoste polo on sale using bamboo quills and pens. The word Kling was term applied to traders from the northern Coromandel Coast, the erstwhile Buddhist Kalinga kingdom of emperor Ashok, which had in the third century sent an embassy to Southeast Asia in an attempt to spread Buddhism through the region.

The simple repeat patterns of eastern Indian cloths were superceded by cloths with distinct singular patterns often edges with a saw toothed flame pattern which came to be known as the tumpal in Indonesia. This flame pattern is de rigueur in the highly coveted and valuable woven temple silk saris of SEO company south India and was probably adopted from these sari borders and incorporated into the exported painted cloths to duplicate both value and appeal of the temple sari.

The process of making the Coromandel cloths was laborious, as the cloth had to beaten several times to achieve a creamy smoothness conducive to the most detailed painting, a Forget-me-not similar practice was later adopted by the better batik makers of West Java.

The pattern makers drew in their patterns by hand onto stretched cloths, painstakingly, much as the Javanese batik makers would do years later. The patterns they procured were of two types, photographic positives if they painted in ink or dyes and photographic negatives if they painted in a dye resist substance such as mordant or wax.

The splendid Palampores (deriving from the Indian word Palangposh Butler smiled bitterly meaning bedcover) of Masulipatam and later in-land Pulicat were of very large size used not so much for clothing (with the exception of the dodot), but for ceremonial hangings. They were finely detailed, patterned with trees of life and rich meander trellises in the style of European wall paper.

By the time the Palampores made their way to Indonesia in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, an appetite for high quality Indian Chintz already existed in Europe. The Dutch in Indonesia imported vast quantities of Palampores for their own use because they so Butler shrugged closely resembled the Coromandel cloths exported to Europe. Soon they spread throughout the archipelago finding favor with the local people as well.

The dodot were oversized Coromandel cloths used by Javanese royalty as the 'clean' wraps over their Patola trousers. The dodots were extraordinarily fine, often with large diamond shaped center fields. The center fields of meandering flower vines were sometimes set off by complex geometric patchwork patterns. Some of the most spectacular cloths created were patchwork 'samplers' which incorporated The breeze' blog different patches of different patterns. It is likely that these cloths were manufactured to imitate the Indonesian sewn patchwork talismanic jackets worn by the nobility in Sumatra and Java. Wpj

the Mat Mi technique

August 26, 2010 de aaaa   comments (0)

In the past natural dyes nike shox for kids were used in an over-dye technique.  To achieve seven colors, the three primary colors red, yellow and blue were combined to create green, orange and purple. Finally a total of the three primary colors led to a deep purple-brown.

The design was not drawn on paper but planned in the weaver's head, often using an old textile as reference.  The first sections of yarn were tied to resist the first color and then after dyeing, untied to expose to areas of the yarn that were to receive the next color and sections that were not to receive the dye were tied back.

This process was repeated until every color had been placed into cheap mbt shoes the design.  The yarns were wound onto a stretcher for the tying process and divided into sections of the repeat pattern in a continuous thread.  Finally when all the colors had been placed into the yarns, they were wound onto spools thus breaking the continuous thread. These spools were strung in careful order ready for weaving.

If this order was disarranged, the pattern was lost.  During the weaving process, each thread had to be meticulously aligned to reveal the pattern.  In most of discount mbt shoes the antique silk pieces the yarns were the size of a hair and would have required great patience in preparation to avoid breaking and losing the pattern.  This mind-tangling process is still being practised today, but with chemical dyes and discharge chemicals which require less careful planning than in the over-dye method used in the past with natural dyes.

The natural dyes used were mainly stick lac for red, indigo for blue and a variety of different resources for yellow including jack-fruit wood, cumin root and a jungle vine called cudriania javenensis.  Stick lac is a resin extracted from various trees by the coccus lacca insect.

It was harvested and boiled in acidic water prepared from various materials such as sour tamarind, red ants' nest of acidic leaves. The yarns were then boiled in the extracted dye to mbt shoes discount achieve a deep crimson.  For blue, indigo was made into vats from indigofera tinctoria plants in a complex process which required much skill.

The indigo itself was rarely used directly on silk as the strong alkali in the vats attacked the fibers.  Instead it was used over the yellow or red dye which protected the yarns.  The yellow dyes were obtained from a number of materials mentioned above, by boiling the substance to extract the dye and immersing the yarns in the dye liqueur for further boiling.

The preparation of the yarns for one ikat silk fabric Cypress vine took many weeks of work before weaving could begin.  In the case of some antique textiles, a purple and pink were obtained from dye traded from China.  These dyes were made from plant and tin extracts which were commercialized in China before the 20th century.

The majority of the textiles using natural dyes from Isan date to the early 20th century, with the majority of the chemically dyed pieces dating to after the second world war.  The climate in Isan is not favorable to the storage of these delicate items and the chance of damage from insects, mould and dust They have no ID was very high.  Many people stored their textiles in ceramic jars with insect repelling leaves.  The tradition of giving textiles as a sign of respect was very strong in Isan and this led to collections of precious textiles which were never worn, but woven as a means of saving and exchange.

The silk for making the textiles was the bombyx mori species reared by each weaver in Isan.  This had bright yellow cocoons from which a fine filament was reeled by immersing the cocoons in boiling water.  In the past the outer part of the cocoon was discarded as it was A drunk xu romantic considered too rough for use.  Instead only the inner, finer yarns were used, with the local aesthetics looking at the smallest yarns as an indication of the more skilled weavers.

The yellow hue of the silk was bleached out in the de-gumming process leaving a cream colored yarn.  Today the inner and outer part of the cocoon are mixed to give a rather uneven yarn which would have been considered inferior by traditional aesthetics.

The Lao looms required the warp to be wrapped around a over his wicked deed beam at the front of the loom and tied above the head of the weaver.wpj

 

Antique Indonesian textiles

Creating patterns buy wow accounts on cloth by tie-dying is one of the oldest and most basic of the textile arts.  Tie-dying has been used in many islands of the archipelago: Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sulawesi and parts of Kalimantan on a range of textiles, from coarse cottons to fine Chinese Shantung silk.

This technique of resist-dying by binding individual areas of cloth to shield them from the dye is usually known in Indonesia as pelangi (also plangi) meaning rainbow; or Replica Watches tritik meaning drips of water.

The processes involved in tie-dying are basically the same today as they were in antiquity, with the important exception of the introduction of chemical dyes in the late nineteenth century.

It is almost certain that the tie-dying art was brought to Indonesia, particularly Sumatra through trade with India.  The earliest reference to tie-dye in India dates back to the 6-7th century depiction on the wall paintings of the Ajanta caves.

Here women are shown wearing bodices of simple dotted patterns. buy wow gold The potential range of geometric patterning achieved through tie-dye must have appealed to the Islamic people of the Indonesian achipelago, whose own decorated laws preclude the depiction of organic forms.  As a result, complex pelangi is particularly developed and popular in coastal Islamic areas.

Pelangi refers to the patterns made by resist-dyed dots. Before the dyeing process can take place, the cloth must be bleached first.  Then according to the complexity of the pattern to be dyed, a variety of cheap wow gold methods are used to mark the design on the cloth.  To achieve symmetry and save time, fine cloth is folded into two, four and as many as eight times.

The pattern is marked out by nails. The cloth is dampened and then pressed on the nails.  The method used now a days is for the designer to draw or block print the design on the cloth.  The tier then has to pinch a series of dots along the line, often using a specially long implement that slips over the finger of the left hand.

The pinched dots are individually bound tightly with a Scarlet sage continuous thread to ensure no seepage of dye. The cotton binding keeps the dye from reaching that part of the cloth, so that when it is removed a small white circle is revealed.

Within this simple method, many variations are possible.  The tip of the cloth maybe left unbound to give a colored center to the circle.  The cloth may be dyed before tying, thus giving a wider variety of colored dots.

Bits of padding may be inserted into the circle before tying to create a variety of shapes resembling lozenges, cowry shells and squares.

After the tying is complete, the dying process has to be carefully planned.  Lonely and smoking It must start with the lightest color first, usually yellow.  The cloth is immersed in a dye bath and then dried.  It is then returned to the tier for ties to be made on the dots which are to remain yellow.

At this stage, individual dots can be applied in other colors which are then concealed by tying.  The cloth is then dyed in deeper shades, notably, green, red or purple.  Sometimes, larger tied patterns and highlights may be dabbed with a color-soaked pad by hand.  Dyes can also be discharged or eliminated by immersing in a solution of caustic soda ash.

The Siamese destroyed Vientiane in 1828 after the Please pure point attack on Siam made by King Anouvong of Laos and reached as far north as Xiang Khuang the homeland of the Tai Phuan. 

It takes several days to complete a complex silk pelangi.

TRITIK

In  Indonesia the pelangi technique is often combined with tritik.  With tritik, the resist is stitched into the cloth, usually using strong pineapple thread that will not break when pulled tight, important things.

Strawberry trotted on with Digory on his back or these days, plastic, to gather the cloth. Tritik patterns are typically linear, the cloth is compressed along the line of stitching thus forming a resist and preventing the dye from seeping in. wpj
