Embroidered Tapestries of Isidore de Rudder
Illustration: Isidore de Rudder Spring embroidered tapestry 1902 It was often said that the embroidered needlework tapestries of the Belgian artist Isidore de Rudder were a subsequence of her inherited textile history through the accumulated woven tapestry work produced in Belgium over the centuries.

It took some time, but several vitriolic responses to my take on the Ken Danby show at Odon Wagner have started arriving, and in force. Several of them were submitted in the comment section of this blog, but had not been approved for publication by our web staff; I'm assuming they wanted to run them by me first, but no need — everyone deserves their opinion to be heard, so long as it's thoughtful and considered (and in a few cases, ahem, Mr. Smits, even when not) so I've gone ahead to ensure the comments were published myself.

I read a interesting blog post from the Baltimore Sun recently about a holiday savings program Toys R Us is starting. The idea of the program is to encourage people to start saving for their holiday shopping now, so that buying presents won’t be as much of a burden later in the year. While it’s great that a store is encouraging people save money for big purchases, the author of the blog post points out that you may get a better return on your investment from a bank or other type of savings plan

Thai Girl: Cute Terrorists-Which Way Thailand Now? A Comment on my previous blog article, “Thai Rural Poverty – A Powder Keg?”, recommended an article in Newsweek as a good analysis of the current situation. (See www.newsweek.com/2010/06/04/the-end-of-brand-thailand.html) This boldly stated that of South East Asia’s modern economies, ‘only Thailand is disintegrating’ and is ‘becoming ungovernable and a failed state’

Illustration: Virginia Abrams Reflections 5 2009 I am always pleasantly surprised and even intrigued when considering how many contemporary textile artists arrive at the genre from such diverse creative journeys and backgrounds. It perhaps says much about the comprehensive appeal of textile art that so many individuals feel compelled to take up the genre. Obviously, because of the diversity of these individual artists, textile art itself broadens its parameters immensely.

Illustration: John Henry Dearle Arras tapestry portiere 1910 John Henry Dearle is probably the best-known name associated with the Morris & Co company after that of William Morris himself and his lifelong friend and oftentimes creative companion Edward Burne-Jones. Dearle’s input into the company cannot be stressed enough. He worked himself up from the retail side and by the 1890s he had become, in all but name, the director of the business.

Have you become lazy when it comes to naming your art? Are you stuck on Untitled or a lame numbering system for a series ( Green Mountain #1 , Green Mountain #2 , etc.)? It’s time for better titles for your art! Here are five reasons why.

5 Reasons to Title Your Art
N. Raghavan , Rain V (2009) One reason I like zapping through artist’s pages instead of always looking carefuly at their artist’s statements and curator’s notes is that I don’t need to undo the damage of their own thoughts about their work. The latter often makes the experience of the work dull, as if our aesthetic wings were cut by the discursive blade.
