Yesterday I made wreath from brass wire, wool roving, cotton yarn (crocheted around the wire and wool), filled wool fabric for leaves, ribbons and silk and cotton fabric for flowers.

A white middle aged woman in an orange dress is wearing a wreath made from various textiles. It is covered in bright green birch type leaves, and fabric flowers in blue, red, and white. It has ribbons hanging from it in the back

A wreath made from various textiles is lying on an embroidered cushion. It is covered in bright green birch type leaves, and has ribbons hanging from it. Red shiny ribbons, green cotton tape, and a jaquard ribbon with red and white flowers, and green leaves, on a black background.

Textile with Animals, Birds, and Flowers
Eastern Central Asia, late 12th–14th century
Silk embroidery on plain-weave silk
14 5/8 x 14 7/8 in. (37.1 x 37.8 cm)
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 1988.296: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/39737

"This textile demonstrates the longevity of motifs in eastern Central Asia. The placement of animals—a spotted horse, a rabbit, and two deer (or antelope)—at its cardinal points is a compositional device that began to appear in the region during the Han dynasty. The birds on the piece, especially the parrot, entered the Central Asian repertoire during a second period of strong Chinese influence, the Tang dynasty. The floral background's central motif of lotus blossoms, a lotus leaf, and a trefoil leaf was seen in Central Asia and North China but became widespread during the Yuan dynasty."

official museum photo of the pichhwai, full front view on grey background

"Large painted cloths (pichhwais) were made to hang behind the main image in a temple. This textile was produced for the Festival of Cows (Gopashtami), which occurs in the late autumn to celebrate Krishna’s elevation from a herder of calves to a cowherd. Note the range of cows and frolicking calves that populate the flower-strewn field. The indigo ground and extensive use of gold and silver are typical of pichhwais that were made for a community of Sri Nathji devotees who moved to the Deccan during this period."

"Funf Schwane is a notable example of German Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, tapestry art inspired by Japanese ukiyoe prints. The long, narrow composition depicting a group of five swans on a meandering brook set within an idyllic forest, is representative of the more poetic naturalism of this style. Decorative elements woven in top and bottom to suggest borders. fringed sides."

closeup of 1st work: Japanese Fukusa with embroidered green parrot design

closeup of the large parrot (scarlet macaw) appliqué on shoulder of Oscar de la Renta blue jacket from ensemble

“For several centuries, silk covers or fukusa were draped over gifts to be presented on lacquer trays during weddings and other special ceremonies. The embroidered image of a parrot on a perch with feeder suspended by tasseled red cords on this fukusa was appropriate for an art form known for its depiction of the natural world. Lightly padded and backed with red crepe fabric brought to the front to frame the central image, it was designed to fall softly over a gift beneath with its gilt tassels slightly weighting each corner.” “Born Óscar Arístides Renta Fiallo in Santo Domingo, de la Renta was a renowned American couturier and ready-to-wear designer. Trained by the great Cristobal Balenciaga (1895-1972), he rose to international acclaim in the 1960s and dressed numerous American first ladies, from Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama. From power suits to couture gowns, de la Renta often used a variety of birds in his designs, as an intricate embroidery, a romantic textile design, or an oversized applique. This ensemble was designed for the boldest of women and speaks to his passion for vibrant colors inspired by Spanish and Caribbean cultures and landscapes.”
