Illustration: Sidney Haward wallpaper frieze 1893 Sidney Haward, one of the best known of British textile and wallpaper designers of the period spanning the decades that saw the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, is relatively unknown today. Despite the fact that Haward was seen in the same light and at the same design level as other British designers such as Voysey and Mawson, and that he also ran the Haward Design Studio which was to provide Liberty with much of its design work during this period, it seems strange yet interesting how his work seems to have faded away.

First things first, I love that someone found my blog by searching for “tiny pants” Had a great time at the Indie Inc conference today. Columbus is so lucky to have a talented group of people so willing to share information. Meeting Crimson Cup Dude, Greg, was a highlight. I’ve heard so many great things about Crimson Cup and learned more about them today. Go check them out ! And getting to hear Liz Lessner talk about her success like she just got some great shoes on sale is always humbling. The woman is a powerhouse and yet so sweet and open to talking about all of it with us. the good, bad, and otherwise unruly. Indie Inc was a conference with informational sessions that were at the very least entertaining and at the most very informative. I think the tax discussion alone may save me some money. (let’s hear it for money!) And seeing old friends and meeting some new ones was worth the price of admission. (let’s hear it for friends!) Who doesn’t love a conference where, during the break, there’s a vodka tasting

Illustration: Sicilian Islamic themed woven brocade 12th century Although the Islamic occupation of Sicily did not reach its final stage until 965, the influence of partial occupation and trade links with the larger Islamic world for the previous two centuries had an enormous influence on the crafts and culture of this Mediterranean island. Sicily was well known for its textile production during the emirate period of its history. To be fair, most if not all of the textiles produced were largely Islamic in flavour and theme.

I’m at ICON in LA, and if you’re in the area you really ought to try and get in to one of the events. At the book table, I was really excited to find this textbook for drawing by Michael Fleishman . As someone who has taught drawing in the past and may do so again in the future, I have to say there are very few textbooks I would recommend

Illustration: Aemilia Ars Society needlepoint lace Lace making in Europe saw a great, if temporary renewal in its fortunes during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Various organizations and schools were set up across the continent and had varying degrees and rates of success. Many were linked to either government or aristocracy, or both.

Shipping companies have become so highly specialised that it is now possible to find cargo shipping providers who do nothing but ship pets to different parts of the world. However, shipping a pet as international cargo is a tricky and involved business that should be done with the utmost care and attention to detail since a failure to do so could result in your pet being held in quarantine for much longer than necessary.

Illustration: Otto Prutscher Carpet design c1909 This piece of design work can be seen as a prime example of what many have come to associate, and in some respects even expect, from the design movement of the Wiener Werkstatte. It was produced as a carpet design around 1909 by one of the prominent members of the Wiener Werkstatte, Otto Prutscher. Prutscher had the great fortune to be taught at the Viennese Art School by amongst others, Professor Josef Hoffmann

Illustration: Illuminated manuscripts from Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament 1856 Owen Jones did not produce a separate chapter in his 1856 The Grammar of Ornament for illuminated manuscripts. It was in fact a sub-section of his Medieval Ornament chapter, which also included examples of stained glass, ceramic tiles and other standard decorative work. Of the three pages of illustrations within the chapter that dealt with illuminated manuscripts, all of which are shown here, some were taken by Jones from examples in the British Museum and some from Illuminated Books of the Middle Ages which was originally published in 1849 by Henry Noel Humphreys.

A perfect cup of coffee for a perfect morning! I have spent lazy summer days in a “Sommerhus” (e.g. “summer house”) in Denmark with my family and one thing I will share with you is the coffee I enjoyed every morning. My wife doesn’t drink black coffee, so to keep things as simple and easy as possible I brought my Aeropress and a glass of preground coffee (for obvious reasons I decided not to bring my coffee grinder, but I did use a nice coffee from Tim Wendelboe though).
