The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. The aim of the standard is to define world-wide recognised requirements that ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer. Textile processors and manufacturers are enabled to export their organic fabrics and garments with one certification accepted in all major markets.

New Daily Paintings – June 11, 2010 – from Painting a Day Artists!
Trade Facilitation Office Canada (TFO Canada) was founded in 1980 by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) following a decision of the Canadian government to establish an office “to assist developing countries to export to the Canadian market.” More than 25 years later, TFO Canada , operating as a not-for-profit corporation, has become the primary provider of information on and linkages to the Canadian import market and a source of training for exporting and for investment attraction for developing and transition economy countries.

Just back from Pop Life at the National Gallery in Ottawa , which I'm writing about today for the Saturday paper. I went in the proper cynic, and came out, if not coverted, then a lot less so; the show is both huge, bombastic and shamelessly crowd-pleasing while managing at the same time to have depth, counter-point and meaning. As blockbusters go, with their cozying up to the greatest breadth of the ticket-buying public, this is almost as good as it gets; amid all the hype and prudish scandal — genitalia

Illustration: William Morris Jasmine 1872 The original artwork of William Morris can only begin to give us an idea as to the creative workings and indeed journey of both the man as an individual and as the designer of prodigious amounts of fabrics, tapestries, carpets, embroideries, and wallpapers. That nature and the portrayal of the natural world were central to the artistic core of the man is undoubted, as the few examples shown here of his original design and decorative work are made clearly abundant.

Illustration: Satellite map of Croatia Today’s article was to concentrate on Dalmatian lace within the larger picture of Croatia. However, I have just discovered a ten minute video on YouTube that is devoted to the subject of Croatian lace which incorporates the Dalmatian area as well. There seems little point in writing an article when this fascinating video is freely available

Illustration: Dora Wheeler Penelope Unravelling her Work at Night needle woven tapestry 1886 The subject of what constitutes a tapestry can form a number of different parameters for different people. To some a tapestry can only ever be of the woven variety constructed on an upright loom, while others are happy to extend the parameters to include cross-stitch and other forms of needlework.

Jon McNaught ’s new graphic novella from Nobrow Press, Birchfield Close , is a most perfect little treasure of a comic. Printed with a restrained three colours, the short book is a gentle, unassuming reflection on time, place, and sound.

“Why buy it when we can make it?” -Alton Brown Right, so maybe AB was talking about putting Kosher salt into the food processor to make finer granules of salt to season his home-made popcorn, but the statement rang home to me… All over the internet are some amazing blogs involving sustainable living and less spending – sewing your own clothes , growing your own food , and making your own furniture – and gosh darnnit they’re onto something! However at this time I have no farm to grow things and no garage for tools but I’ve got my Singer! And I’m ready to commit. Now I’ve been super busy with working at K1 Yarns , designing knitting patterns , and making baby blankets but today I am committing myself to a more handmade wardrobe. And you can hold me accountable

Jump to the full entry & travel map Than Uyen, Vietnam The morning is beautiful, and the weather keeps that way all day long – what else can we ask for?! I’m kind of a dick today, first I dispute with Becky about something I don’t really have an idea (what was the reason for changing the phones numbering scheme in Australia), and it’s really stupid. Then I feel a little bit in “overpower” when I ask to make a detour to Tram Tau. The place is marked as a “scenic view” on the map, and it’s the only one which is close to our way (30 km one-way detour)
