I’m back to thinking about the etchings printed on highly reflective synthetic fibers by Barbara Rossi. Many of them she also stitched, pieced, quilted, embroidered or beaded. Forever fascinated by her style and methods. #TextileConservation #ArtConservation

Hi I’m catatonically anxious but at least I’m still decent at fiddling with little threads. Slowly replacing the missing decorative binding threads by surrealist artist Mary Reynolds. Almost done! #TextileConservation #ArtConservation

This past week I examined cobweb fibers used as a paintings substrate. High magnification, and hyperspectral imaging techniques with variable lighting direction were super helpful to show certain features and properties of the web of fibers. #TextileConservation #ArtConservation

Look at this is amazing fake binding with deteriorated decorative threads that my coworker made as a mock up to perfect a treatment! Today I helped them spin and ply some custom dyed yarn to match the original, and we tested adhesives. #TextileConservation

Today, we’re sharing another item from our collections. These photographs show a decoratively painted silk jacket in a high-waisted spencer style. The clothing is likely to date from the late Victorian or early Edwardian periods.

I wrote a new thing. I talk about this to classes that I present to about Thread Up’s environmental mission and adjacent issues with fast fashion. Surprisingly easy way to have less climate impact and save money #textileconservation #textilesustainability #climateaction

This is a label from the brand RSQ by Tilly’s. Impressed by this whole label and if even a small percentage of wearers treat this garment more sustainably, that’s a win. #textilesustainability #textileconservation #reducereuserecycle
