Menzies champions the importance of preserving traditional techniques while also encouraging innovation and individual expression in needlework. This book is an essential resource for scholars, textile enthusiasts, and hobbyists alike. It serves not only as a historical reference but also as a source of inspiration for contemporary artisans seeking to connect with the rich tapestry of needlework tradition.

<p>From the mysterious cult of Pythagoras to the awesome mechanics of Stonehenge to the “gargoyles” and fractals on today’s computers, mathematics has always been a powerful, even divine force in the world. In a lively, intelligent synthesis of math, mysticism, and science fiction, Clifford Pickover explains the eternal magic of numbers. Taking a uniquely humorous approach, he appoints readers “Chief Historian” of an intergalactic museum and sends them, along with a quirky cast of characters, hurtling through the ages to explore how individuals used numbers for such purposes as predicting the end of the world, finding love, and winning wars.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Spanish Royal Tapestries【電子書籍】[ Albert Frederick Calvert ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The term tapestry is often applied to any hangings of medi?val workmanship whether woven on a frame or not. This use of the word is incorrect. Tapestry is a fabric woven with coloured wools on to warp threads in a loom or frame, in which the weft completely conceals the warp. It is woven all in one piece. This distinguishes it from embroidery or other needlework to which stitches are added after the groundwork of the fabric has been detached from the frame. The worker weaves directly from a design or cartoon which is supplied to him. Tapestry frames are of two kinds. In the first the warp threads are arranged in a perpendicular frame, and the weaver sits before his work. This is known as high-warp (haute lisse) weaving, and is the method in use at the celebrated manufactory at Gobelins in France. In the other method the warp threads are stretched horizontally, and the weaver must bend over his work. This is known as low-warp (basse lisse) weaving, and is the process followed at Beauvais. On the whole the high warp weaving gives a fabric of firmer and finer texture. The rest of the process is precisely similar. The weft threads of different colours, each attached to a separate bobbin or shuttle, are passed alternately behind and in front of the warp threads, leaving a little dot of colour behind. The second thread will, of course, take up the warp thread the first has passed over, and pass in front of that which the first one has passed behind. The two threads are then pushed together with a comb until they fall into one straight line. The warp is now completely concealed. Tapestry weaving is an art that stands alone. Like furniture, tapestry was of utilitarian origin, and cannot, therefore, be judged by the standards applied to painting and the purely decorative arts. As originally used in ancient buildings, it was hung some feet from the walls to serve as a draught screen, or was suspended between pillars to shut off one apartment from another. It was generally hung, therefore, in undulating folds, the stiff panels and upholsteries of later workmanship being a spurious growth. The decorative value of such hangings was, of course, seized on at once by the wealthy, who alone could afford them, and from the earliest times tapestries became things of beauty. But in estimating their artistic value we have to remember their original use. A tapestry curtain woven with a symmetrical central design would appear quite distorted when pushed aside by some one entering a room. Central unity, therefore, the great merit of painting, is in tapestry artistically bad. Tapestry weaving is certainly one of the most ancient of all the arts. Fragments have been left behind by all the early civilizations to bear witness to their skill. The art was practised by the early Egyptians, the Babylonians, Chinese, and Peruvians, while the Greeks and Romans brought it to a high state of perfection. It is noticeable that from the very beginning the texture of the fabric has scarcely altered, while the modern tapestry looms are but the natural development of the primitive frames used by the ancient Egyptians. The earliest specimen of weaving that has been discovered was found in one of the Swiss lake dwellings, and can only be a relic of the later Stone Age. Fragments somewhat similar have come to light in stone coffins found in Yorkshire, while at Thornton, near Kolding, in Jutland, whole costumes have been discovered that must have belonged to the Age of Bronze. The first historic references to the art come to us from early Egypt. Here the weavers were probably women. The Beni Hassan wall-paintings, which date from about 1600 B.C., depict weavers squatting.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>This book of poetryーwritten by a retired university professor who was deafened during childhoodーreveals the challenges, defeats, and triumphs of living in a world that often ignores those who live and struggle in silence and who are cut off from access to communication and information. Filled with words of longing, poignancy, resiliency, spirituality, and love, the author uses a tapestry as a metaphor to illustrate how all those challenges have come to be woven into one whole fabric of a meaningful life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Imagining Qianlong Louis XV’s Chinese Emperor Tapestries and Battle Scene Prints at the Imperial Court in Beijing【電子書籍】[ Florian Knothe ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This publication accompanies an unprecedented exhibition highlighting four of the magnificent chinoiserie tapestries of Chinese Emperor Qianlong, woven after designs by Fran?ois Boucher at the famous Beauvais manufactory from 17581760. The large and well-preserved textiles form part of the royal French commission by King Louis XV, objects of which were presented to Qianlong in 1766.</p> <p>These celebrated tapestries are joined by another historic set of culturally related depictions in printーThe Battles of the Emperor of China. The engravings were ordered by Qianlong, drawn by Jesuit painters at the Imperial Court in Beijing and then printed in Paris 17691774. The ‘culture’ of these prints follows King Louis XIV’s influential images of the Histoire du Roi and presents Qianlong as both a war hero and as the undisputed leader of China in the mid-eighteenth century.</p> <p>These depictions date to the exact same time period, one that coincides with the high demand for chinoiserie in Franceーculminating in the world-famous designs by Boucherーand the Imperial Court of China’s interest in French design and culture. Despite their world-renowned fame, these groups of images previously have not been shown together.</p> <p><em>Imagining Qianlong</em> presents one of the rare topics to celebrate the court cultures in both France and China, at a time when the empires idolised each other, and cultural influences and exchanges were highly significant and supported by well-established and prosperous monarchs during an increasingly enlightened eighteenth century.</p> <p>In order to highlight the cross-cultural aspects of this project, Florian Knothe (HKU), Pascal-Fran?ois Bertrand (Bordeaux), Nicholas Pearce (Glasgow) and Kristel Smentek (MIT) have contributed essays detailing the sociocultural history of the tapestries and prints. Each scholar is an expert in their fields and a well-versed lecturer on Chinese artistic influences in France, as well as French and European Jesuit culture in China.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Imperial Tapestries Narrative Form and the Question of Spanish Habsburg Power, 1530?1647【電子書籍】[ Julia L. Farmer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Imperial Tapestries represents a transnational approach to questions of monarchical power and literary form in early modern Europe. In line with Barbara Fuchs’s recent call for considerations of center versus periphery in Old World contexts, it explores the ways in which some of the most significant authors of the early modern era questioned the structures of Spanish Habsburg authority through “imperial texts”ーtexts that call attention to their organizational processーin order to mirror authors’ perceptions of the structures of Habsburg power.</p> <p>With a contextual basis in Fuchs’ notion of imperium studies, ideas of self-fashioning, and theories of early modern reading, the study explores the ways in which complex narrative forms in the early modern period reflected the concerns with the structures of Habsburg imperial power subtly portrayed within the narratives themselves. A close reading of the various strands that form the tapestries of the texts at issue reveals a deep undercurrent of misgivings toward various manifestations of Spanish Habsburg power on the part of authors who had experienced its effects first-hand. Whether the complex narrative devices in question cast the Habsburg monarchs as monster, misogynist, sorceress, aloof shepherdess, or mad would-be knight errant, they all have one thing in common: the spatialized forms that they create correspond directly with the ways in which the authors in question perceive the more disillusioning aspects of Habsburg hegemony. Authors studied in the volume include Ludovico Ariosto, Garcilaso de la Vega,Jorge de Montemayor, Miguel de Cervantes, and Mar?a de Zayas.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Spider Tapestries: Seven Strange Stories【電子書籍】[ Mike Allen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>"Mike Allen will infect your subconscious with hallucinatory and alarming delight. This book is a must-read for fans of weird fiction and dark fantasy."<br /> ーHelen Marshall, World Fantasy Award-winning author of <em>Gifts for the One who Comes After</em></p> <p>"Surrender yourself to <em>The Spider Tapestries</em> and let these tales rewire your mind." ーScott Nicolay, World Fantasy Award-winning author of <em>Do You Like to Look at Monsters?</em></p> <p><em>The Spider Tapestries</em>, Mike Allen's sophomore short story collection, takes a wrecking ball to genre boundaries, showcasing seven stories that mix transhuman noir, Lovecraftian horror, and surrealistic sorcery in an exploration of the further reaches of the Weird. Readers who savored the disorienting strangeness in Allen's debut collection <em>Unseaming</em>, a Shirley Jackson Award and This Is Horror Award finalist will find <em>The Spider Tapestries</em> begins where <em>Unseaming</em> left off.</p> <p>As Nicole Kornher-Stace, author of <em>Archivist Wasp</em>, explains in her introduction, "Allen outdoes himself even further, borrowing and synthesizing across genres with gleeful abandon....This results in stories like 'Twa Sisters,' with an atmosphere and setting as if Heironymous Bosch had been brought in as a consultant on Blade Runner. Or 'Sleepless, Burning Life,' which, with simultaneous nods to steampunk and metaphysics, explores and upends the familiar trope of Mortal Chosen by the Gods."</p> <p><strong>More praise for <em>The Spider Tapestries</em></strong><br /> "Readers, be warned: Mike Allen will infect your subconscious with hallucinatory and alarming delight. This book is a must-read for fans of weird fiction and dark fantasy."<br /> ーHelen Marshall, World Fantasy Award-winning author of <em>Gifts for the One Who Comes After</em></p> <p>"The aptly named <em>Spider Tapestries</em> forms a stunning picture that is equal parts darkness and light . . . a whirlwind tour through worlds of decadent fantasy, noir-touched future-weird, and elegant horror. Mike Allen offers up intricate mythologies that feel real and lived in, rich-detailed stories for readers to immerse themselves in, and from which they will emerge changed. The stories feel epic in scope, from an assassin climbing through the clockwork gears of the world to rescue a goddess in a cage, to an AI moving through bodies and networks to gather up and reassemble the pieces of his lost love. Allen takes readers on a journey through years and worlds, all in the space of a few pages."<br /> ーA.C. Wise, author of <em>The Ultra Fabulous Glitter Squadron Saves the World Again</em></p> <p>"There was a time before the marketplace sliced our wild fantastic literature into bite sized chunks, a time when visions could be astounding, amazing, and weird all at once, a time when Clark Ashton Smith could mainline a <em>Thousand and One Nights</em> into million-colored suns. Now comes Mike Allen, shredding raw that scar-woven shroud between then, now, and infinity, releasing hallucinatory torrents of jewel-encrusted erotic transhumanism with the intensity of a quasar and stripping bare the secret wheels and cogs of the universe beside those lovers who would destroy them."<br /> ーScott Nicolay, World Fantasy Award-winning author of <em>Do You Like to Look at Monsters?</em></p> <p>"Mike Allen, among the most dynamic of contemporary fantasists, habitually upends Lovecraftian tropes with his own brand of cosmic horror."<br /> ーLaird Barron, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of <em>X's for Eyes</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Weave Tapestries of Naught at All【電子書籍】[ William Flewelling ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>My poems help me see what is in front of me. They typically find that an image is presented, an image that seems to suggest a line of verse, just one which, when written down, enters into a cadence, a rhythm, a sense of sound and echo that evolves into a sequence of lines that flow. They flow until they stop, that is, and announce to me that the poem is, in fact, done. This book draws upon poems written some years ago, mostly in the years 2009 and 2015. There are also a few current poems that insist their way into the collection as they are accumulated in the current year's file. As I revisit the poems of years ago, quite often the occasion presents itself to memory - but not always. Sometimes that occasion is as if unnecessary and, indeed, almost in the way of the poem as it has come to be. Revisiting is always a pleasure; it becomes one of the spurs toward forming the collection itself. Indeed, it is the pleasure and the satisfaction in the book that brings it about. Satisfaction is such a boon to life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Tapestries have been an enigmatic form of artwork for hundreds of years, with the intricate symbolism of their woven narratives still fascinating viewers today.

In this beautiful illustrated introduction to the history of tapestries, Rosita Sheen reveals the fascinating story of these masterpieces, exploring their conception, manufacture, and symbolism right up to the present day.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Sky-Split Tapestries A Psychedelic Inheritance【電子書籍】[ Megan Harper ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Reclusive artist Dovra Aksu inherits more than just a tapestry from her enigmatic grandmother. Shimmering with iridescent threads, the heirloom depicts a city defying gravity, adrift in a fractured, opalescent skyーa city Dovra begins to experience in vivid, hallucinatory visions. These aren't dreams, but visceral intrusions, echoing with an ancestral memory she can’t explain.</p> <p>Desperate for answers, Dovra seeks out Carolyn Logan, a renowned anthropologist specializing in forgotten cultures. Logan’s research reveals a startling possibility: Dovra’s lineage might trace back to the Erimeth, a vanished race of interstellar artisans said to weave the very fabric of reality into their art. Hidden within the tapestry's intricate weave, they discover a viscous, shimmering fluid pulsing with latent energy. A single drop, and Dovra’s world dissolves, pulling her not through space, but through consciousness, directly into the heart of the Sky-Split Tapestries.</p> <p>The city unfolds around her, breathtakingly tangible. Buildings spiral into the fractured sky, gravity a mere suggestion, the air alive with unseen energy. A figure coalesces from sentient ink, her guide ? a fragment of the Erimeth consciousness, a living record of their civilization’s tragic history. He reveals the Erimeth's mastery over dimensional manipulation, their ability to weave entire worlds into their artーan artistry that ultimately became their undoing. Now, fragments of their knowledge, their art, their very essence, reside within select bloodlines scattered across the cosmosーbloodlines like Dovra’s.</p> <p>Within the tapestry city, Dovra discovers her own untapped potential, a latent ability to manipulate reality inherited from her Erimeth ancestors. But with every thread she manipulates, her identity frays, human and alien warring within. On Earth, Carolyn’s research unearths a hidden community of “Weavers” and a shadowy organization, the “Order of Silenced Threads,” dedicated to eradicating any trace of the Erimeth’s existence.</p> <p>As Dovra’s power grows, so does the danger. The fractured geometries of the Erimeth sky begin to bleed into Earth’s reality, threatening to unravel the fabric of both worlds. Caught in a web of ancestral memory and cosmic consequence, Dovra must confront not only the Order of Silenced Threads but also her own burgeoning power, a power that could either mend a fractured reality or shatter it completely. The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance, woven into the iridescent threads of the Sky-Split Tapestries.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Last Word A Study of the “Revelation to John” and the Fourteenth-Century Tapestries of the Apocalypse of Angers, France【電子書籍】[ Jean Alden McCurdy Meade ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What is the last book of the Bible all about? Is Revelation a series of visions about the end times that few people can understand, or is it a work of encouragement for all Christians in every time to endure even hardship and suffering for the sake of their faith, strengthened by this vision of heaven with Christ on the throne with his Father, where sorrow and pain will be no more? Revelation deals forthrightly and dramatically with the reality of evil in God's good creation; but the message is that God has conquered the forces of evil through his son, Jesus, the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for us. In the end God wins; and the end is coming soon, but in God's time, not ours. Countless songs and hymns of the church have been inspired by this book, but also, John's visions have inspired artists to try to capture their teaching in visual form, as in the wonderful fourteenth-century tapestries of the Apocalypse in Angers, France. Their illustrations of the text give us insight into how Christians in every generation find hope and faith in its message.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Blood Tapestries in the Soul【電子書籍】[ Andrea Oliveti ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Giacomo Rinaldi is a brilliant man, an Art lover that sees his life vanishing with the slow inflexibility of a river flowing in a distant landscape.<br /> He loses his wife Barbara, his former wife, his friends and the ones he loved the most and he finds himself opposite his life turning point before starting a slow fall into the hell of his restless soul.<br /> He might give up, leave his loved and sometimes distant God, let days pass in the same way, in an everlasting present made up of insignificant useless things without joy; or he might find the strength to struggle and the pleasure of living again, enjoy the sunset and the company and the comfort of that moon which is the protagonist of the novel in its immutable passion.<br /> Through the most famous social networking site he meets Lara Capitani, a very beautiful and seemingly fragile woman and his life flourishes again: in her skin smelling of peach, in her fine hair like silk and honey he sees a clear sky after a storm and a new thought comes to him in a flash.<br /> A toast in the moonlight, a gaze of passionate empathy, a walk hand in hand and that mosaic that had fallen apart almost magically comes back to its original shape as in the most valuable paintings. Giacomo goes beyond his past life and nothing seems to be precluded to him: his future is a tapestry of which he can decide its colours and weaving, death is a distant mystery, neither feared nor desired.<br /> At this point the moon is deeply in his soul and its reflections will be sometimes sweet, other times strong and violent but they will indissolubly belong to him: finally he is the master of his life and this time, after a long time, after so many doubts and so much suffering he will not let it go any longer and he will lead his life towards a future all to be discovered or maybe it is already written in the eyes of that adorable smart woman that celebrated for him the everlasting and unfathomable Rite of Love...</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Tapestries of Hope, Threads of Love The Arpillera Movement in Chile【電子書籍】[ Marjorie Agos?n ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Tapestries of Hope, Threads of Love tells the story of ordinary women living in terror and extreme poverty under General Pinochet's oppressive rule in Chile (1973?1989). These women defied the military dictatorship by embroidering their sorrow on scraps of cloth, using needles and thread as one of the boldest means of popular protest and resistance in Latin America. The arpilleras they madeーpatchwork tapestries with scenes of everyday life and memorials to their disappeared relativesーwere smuggled out of Chile and brought to the world the story of their fruitless searches in jails, morgues, government offices, and the tribunals of law for their husbands, brothers, and sons.</p> <p>Marjorie Agos?n, herself a native of and exile from Chile, has spent more than thirty years interviewing the arpilleristas and following their work. She knows their stories intimately and knows, too, that none of them has ever found a disappeared relative alive. Even though the dictatorship ended in 1989 and democracy returned to Chile, no full account of the detained and disappeared has ever been offered. Still, many women maintain hope and continue to make arpilleras, both in memory and as art.</p> <p>This new edition of the book, updated for students, includes a reaction to the death of General Pinochet, a chronology of Chile, several new testimonies from arpilleristas in their own words, and an introduction by Peter Kornbluh. It retains a section of full-color plates of arpilleras, an afterword by Peter Winn, and a foreword by Isabel Allende. Students and interested readers will find the arpilleras beautiful, moving, and ultimately hopeful, and the testimonies a powerful way to learn about the history of contemporary Latin America and the arpillera movement in Chile.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Textile Fabrics: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Collection of Church-vestments, Dresses, Silk Stuffs, Needlework and Tapestries, Forming that Section of the Museum【電子書籍】[ Daniel Rock ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Like every other specific collection of art labour among the several such brought together within these splendid halls of the South Kensington Museum, this extensive one made from woven stuffs, tapestry, and needlework, is meant to have, like them, its own peculiar useful purposes. Here, at a glance, may be read the history of the loom of various times and in many lands. Here may be seen a proof of the onward march of trade and its consequent civilizing influences. Here we take a peep at the private female life in ages gone by, and learn how women, high-born and lowly, spent or rather ennobled many a day of life in needlework, not merely graceful but artistic. Here, in fine, in strict accordance with the intended industrial purposes of this public institution, artizans, designers, and workers in all kinds of embroidery, may gather many an useful lesson for their respective crafts, in the rare as well as beautiful samples set out before them. The materials out of which the articles in this collection were woven, are severally wool, hemp, flax, cotton, silk, gold, and silver. The silken textures are in general wholly so; in many instances they are wrought up along with either cotton, or with flax; hence, in ancient documents, the distinction of “holosericum,” all silk, and “subsericum,” not all silk, or the warpーthat is, the longitudinal threadsーof cotton or flax, and the woofーthat is the cross-threads of silk. Very seldom is the gold or the gilt silver woven into these textiles found upon them in a solid wire-drawn form, but almost always, after being flattened very thin, the precious metal was wound about a very small twist of cotton, or of flax, and thus became what we call gold thread. As a substitute for this, the Moors of Granada, and after them the Spaniards of that kingdom, employed strips of gilded parchment, as we shall have to notice.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
