dear pellon

Dear Pellon, yes you are great for printing 8.5' x 11" on inkjet. Now wouldn't it make sense to start manufacturing sheets this way? I'd be happy to test-market. The new digital patterns from Oliver + S are waiting....

Oh! I guess they were not so boring after all. Torrey Pines, California.

old habits die hard

      

"Everybody can memorize the old laced or crocheted tablecloths, which were used as interior decoration at your grandparent's house. The decorations are beautiful hand made design, but do not represent today's style anymore. The knowledge about handcraft techniques vanishes. JONGHLABEL regrets that these old artistic techniques disappear.

In order to renew interest in old handcraft techniques, JONGHLABEL started Jongh Geleerd Oud Gedaan. Together with women from different cultural backgrounds and from different parts of the city of Amsterdam, JONGHLABEL started a co-production project. These women still know how to practice Dantel (Turkish handcraft technique), tatting, lace and crochet. JONGHLABEL transfers the beautiful handmade fabrics into modern jewelry. By turning them into modern jewelry, JONGHLABEL hopes to renew people's interest in these beautiful old handcrafts."

bravo!
