Minoan Kilt

The large, structural skirt worn by Minoan women in art is instantly recognizable, and when I made my own I combined current best guesses with my own personal tastes.

My kilt shape follows the hypothesis laid out by Bernice Jones in her book Ariadne's Threads: The Construction and Significance of Clothes in the Aegean Bronze Age. She describes the shape of that of a labrys, a double-headed axe with apparent ceremonial significance in Ancient Minoan culture. This garment may be depicted in Linear-B logogram *166 + we, we-being the backwards-s-shaped squiggle in the center which identifies the piece as a garment.

See pages 336 and 341 in Marie-Louise B. Nosch, The Textile Logograms in the Linear B Tablets

Actual details on construction and materials below the cut:

Construction:

The top and bottom edges of the kilt are concave, so the sides are longer than the middle. This gives the chevron-shape seen on layered kilts in art. In addition, the curved top half makes the skirt flare out, accommodating the hips and giving more freedom of movement to the legs. My kilt measured from my waist to my anklebone at the longest point, and about 1.5 times around my waist.

I chose to make a flounced kilt, with smaller strips of fabric and trim applied to a large base piece, rather than a tiered kilt, in which multiple kilt shapes of varying length are layered one on top of the other, so you end up wrangling 3 layers of fabric around the waist. The flounced kilt saves fabric and gives you a lot more freedom with whatever trim you might want. Jones' diagram for a flounced kilt is seen below:

Unlike the version in the diagram above, I chose not to attach ties to the garment itself both because the linen I used was very heavy and I was concerned about weight, and also because folding the skirt and securing it with a separate tie worked just fine for my tastes. In total I had four flounces: 2 alternating rows each of fabric and fringe.

The vertical edges of most kilts are left plain, probably representing either the selvage or an edge otherwise finished off to prevent fraying. For my kilt, however, I ended up with a couple inches of self-fringe on either side as I adjusted the fabric to the correct width. At least three examples of kilts with fringed vertical edges are known, all three from the so-called "House of the Ladies" in Akrotiri

Photos from Wikimedia Commons. Image 1. Image 2.

The vertical edges of these kilts are reinforced with a colored band or tape, probably to keep the garment from unintentional further fraying. Accordingly, I did the same on my kilt. I also like that it gave a nice vertical diagonal to counterbalance the horizontal ones.

Materials

I tried to use mainly linen and wool, the fibers most available on Ancient Crete, but some of my trim was cotton because sometimes you just have to use what's cheap and available in the today times.

The base of my kilt is a heavy, patterned linen in what's called a diaper weave, meaning that a repeating diamond pattern is woven into the pattern itself. A lot of the Minoan textiles depicted in frescoes are characterized by repeating geometric patterns, likely woven into the fabric itself, and that was something I wanted to capture in my own piece. My linen is woven with both cream and natural colored threads. The heavy weight is important to give structure to the garment--otherwise it would be kind of limp. My linen was from Burnley & Trowbridge (shameless plug), as was the plain cotton twill tape I used to bind the top and bottom edges of the kilt, and the dark red wool twill tape I used along the vertical edges.

I bought my cotton fringe from a rug supply store. I had to search a while to find a fringe that would work for me, and I ultimately chose fringes with a woven header rather than the more common knotted one, so that it would lay flat against the kilt. I hid the woven header under a layer of cotton fringed trim from Michaels (yes, Michaels) with this really great diamond and dots pattern woven in black.

The blue layers are from a bolt of vintage wool Kimono fabric. Blue appears frequently in frescoes, likely achieved with indigo or woad dye, or even murex/mollusk dye. The fabric is printed with an imitation ikat pattern of diamonds and squares that made me think "the vibes seem right!" because quite frankly, you aren't going to get "historically accurate" Minoan textiles (which there probably isn't enough archaeological evidence to definitively describe) without, like, hand-weaving it yourself or paying someone hundreds of dollars to do it for you (and that price is if the weaver really likes you). Neither of which appealed to my desire to just make a fun, low stress project. Good enough is good enough.

The narrow trim on the bottom of the blue flounces is vintage cotton/poly woven trim. This trim, while narrow, was quite thick and stiff, which was great because it added more weight and structure to the end of my flounces since the wool fabric itself was quite thin.

The top layer is a custom tablet-woven wool trim that I commissioned from MAHTAVAhandicraft on Etsy. I imagined this as the "centerpiece" of my kilt, and I'd arrange everything to complement it.

It's a kivrim pattern, which has itself only been traced to 19th-century Anatolia, but I didn't care. The way it looks like waves reminded me of how central the sea was to life in the Ancient Aegean and Mediterranean and it captured the idea and aesthetic I was pursuing. I mean, doesn't it remind you of these dolphins?

(I like the dolphins)

The whole thing was machine sewn with the exception of hemming and adding trim to the blue flounces. If you were to look at it from the back, you'd see lots of zigzag stitches, because i wanted to be fast! and have fun! not chase some unreachable ideal of "accurate."

As for wearing it, I chose to wear it with the top part folded/rolled down over a belt, so I have a thick tube of fabric around my waist. Many images, like the frescoes above of women with fringed kilts, appear to just show the kilt being tied closed. Other images are so fragmented or stylized that it's unclear what kind of skirt closure was used. Sculptures and figurines definitely show some kind of SOMETHING around the waist, whether this is folded fabric or a kind of belt is unclear. Different art could show different things!

I think I see evidence of a continuous line from the skirt to the waist-roll on the figure on the left, found in Troas, which I think indicates some kind of skirt-folding situation. The woman on the right, found in Crete, looks more like she's wearing some kind of long coiled belt, or perhaps snakes. Who knows? I don't! For my own part, I found the combination of rolled waist + tie belt the most secure for doing things like kneeling, stomping around, and wading into rivers to rescue bees. I also liked that it gave me the bulk around the hips that gives Minoan figurines such a powerful silhouette, and proportionally gives more of an hourglass shape. If you wanted to do something more firmly grounded in the sources, stick just with the waist tie or belt, wrapped around a couple times and tied in back. If you want to be like me, just say "well we don't KNOW it didn't happen" and just do whatever you want. Have fun! Whatever happens, it should be fairly easy to move around in the kilt--this is not a restrictive garment, just a heavy one.

Combining Black and White Floor Patterns with Contemporary Décor

Black and white floor patterns are timeless, offering a striking contrast that perfectly complements contemporary décor. From geometric designs to bold checkerboards, these patterns can act as a statement piece or provide a versatile backdrop for your modern interiors. Here’s how to seamlessly integrate black and white flooring with your contemporary design style.

Start by choosing the right flooring pattern. Checkerboard tiles are a classic option that can evoke a retro or modern vibe depending on how they’re styled. For a more subtle and sophisticated look, opt for herringbone or chevron patterns in black and white. Geometric designs such as hexagons or diamonds add a touch of visual intrigue and are ideal for minimalist or industrial spaces.

When combining black and white floors with contemporary décor, consider your colour palette. Keep walls neutral to let the flooring shine—white, grey, or even soft beige tones work well. If you prefer a bold approach, an accent wall in a vibrant colour like teal, mustard, or emerald green can create a dramatic contrast while maintaining balance.

Furniture selection plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall aesthetic. Choose sleek, modern furniture with clean lines and minimalist designs. Materials like metal, glass, and polished wood pair beautifully with black and white floors. For added warmth, incorporate natural textures such as woven baskets, jute rugs, or leather chairs.

Layering is key to softening the boldness of black and white flooring. Rugs can help define spaces and add a layer of comfort. Choose rugs with subtle patterns or solid colours that don’t compete with the floor design. Monochromatic or neutral rugs in shades of grey, cream, or taupe can balance the room while maintaining a cohesive look.

Lighting is another important consideration. Use contemporary light fixtures like pendant lights, track lighting, or floor lamps with sleek finishes. Black or chrome accents on lighting fixtures can tie in with the floor pattern, while warm bulbs create a welcoming atmosphere.

Artwork and decorative accents allow for personalization. Black-and-white photography, abstract art, or metallic sculptures enhance the contemporary feel. For a touch of vibrancy, add pops of colour through throw pillows, vases, or books. These accents can be easily updated to refresh the space without altering the flooring.

Black and white floors work well in open-concept spaces. Use them to delineate different areas, such as the kitchen, dining, or living spaces, while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. In smaller rooms, these patterns can make the space feel larger when paired with strategically placed mirrors.

Maintenance is straightforward with black and white flooring, especially with vinyl or tile options. Regular sweeping and mopping keep the surfaces pristine, while the high-contrast design hides minor scuffs and dirt.

By thoughtfully combining black and white floor patterns with contemporary décor, you can create an interior that is both timeless and modern. This bold flooring choice adds character and sophistication, ensuring your space stands out with style.

Create a Chic - Black and White living Room

A Black and White living room color scheme in interior design exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. The interplay between these contrasting shades can transform any living space and home decor into a realm of chic refinement. A black and white living room is not just a design choice; it's a statement of style that transcends trends and stands the test of time. The Power of Contrast The power of contrast lies at the heart of the Black and White decor living room design. These colors are at opposite ends of the spectrum, yet when brought together, they create a dynamic visual impact that is both striking and captivating. Incorporating contrasting elements such as black furniture against white theme walls or vice versa can instantly elevate the ambiance of the room. Consider a sleek black couch in leather set against a backdrop of pristine white paint walls adorned with minimalist artwork. The clarity of the white interior together with modern black creates a sense of balance and drama that is a unique style and undeniably dynamic. Embracing Minimalism This color combination lends itself beautifully to the principles of minimalism. By paring down clutter and embracing clean lines, your living room can exude a sense of calm and tranquility. Opt for furnishings with sleek silhouettes and understated detailing to maintain the minimalist design for the entire room. Choose statement pieces such as a monochromatic area rug or a bold geometric coffee table to add visual interest without overwhelming the space. Remember, less is often more when it comes to a monochrome living room.  Playing with Texture While additional shades may be limited in a Black and White living room, texture serves as a key element in adding depth and dimension to the space. Experiment with a variety of textures, from plush velvet cushions to smooth marble surfaces, to create visual intrigue and tactile appeal. Incorporate tactile elements such as faux fur throws or woven baskets to infuse warmth into the modern living room scheme. Texture not only enhances the sensory experience of the room but also adds layers of visual interest that keep the space from feeling flat or monotonous. Harnessing the Power of Patterns Patterns offer another avenue for introducing visual intrigue in the living room with this enduring color combination. Whether it's classic stripes, bold chevron prints, or intricate geometric designs, patterns can inject personality and charm into the space. Experiment with patterned throw pillows, area rugs, or accent walls is a great way to add visual contrast and depth. Just be mindful of striking a balance between bold patterns and the overall harmony of the living area. A well-curated mix of patterns can elevate an interior designer coherent look without overwhelming the senses. Complimentary Art Wall art has the power to transform a Black and White living room into a dynamic, visually stimulating space. By strategically selecting artwork that complements the monochromatic scheme or by creating a gallery wall display, you can create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and invigorating.  Mixed media pieces or artworks with tactile elements such as impasto painting or three-dimensional sculptures as a focal point of the room create a sensory experience in which viewers can not only see but also feel the art in their surroundings. Lighting as a Design Element Lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance of a Black and White living room. Add statement lighting fixtures such as sleek pendant lights, table lamps or sculptural floor lamps as a statement piece to illuminate the white ceiling and entire space to accentuate its architectural features. Consider incorporating reflective surfaces such as mirrored accent pieces or glossy finishes to bounce light around the room and create a sense of openness and illusion of more space, warmth, and airiness. Strategic lighting design can amplify the drama of the Black and White palette while infusing the space with warmth and luminosity. Conclusion A black and white living room is the epitome of timeless elegance and sophistication. Whether you're drawn to the classic allure of black and white or seeking a versatile canvas for personal expression, the possibilities are endless. With its understated beauty and enduring appeal, a Black and White living room is sure to captivate the senses and stand the test of time. Read the full article

I realized y'all might not know how chaotic my creative process can be because you mostly only see the projects I finish, so in no particular order here are all the WIPs I currently have off the top of my head: (It got really long so I put it below a read more)

- the jelly roll rug, about half finished, currently coiled up under my sewing machine table - giant octopus, two pieces on the floor, the rest on the cutting mat - denim lumberjack quilt: backing and quilt top draped over a chair, waiting to be ironed - jellyroll patchwork quilt and quilt back: draped over quilt rack, waiting to be ironed - half assembled orange and pink nightmare of a triangle quilt: half the rows draped over that same quilt rack under the other quilt, stack of other triangles Somewhere In The Room - green triangles baby quilt: currently a stack of unsewn triangles, also Somewhere In The Room (I remember I left them on the triangle ruler but not where) - Bucky Bear: body, arms, and head darts sewn. arms on my desk, legs on my dresser, head pieces currently on the sewing machine table - green baby quilt I am very slowly handquilting: on the floor behind my air purifier - mars rover plushie: Somewhere In The Room, just needs wheels (I couldn't figure out how I wanted to do the wires to make the wheels turnable, it went in a box for safekeeping as I moved houses, and now that box is Somewhere) - green frog flannel baby blanket: fabric for the top is ironed and currently draped over the ironing board. I will have to play musical projects to finish the lumberjack quilt, or finish the baby blanket first? Not sure which way that's gonna go - cut and sew fleece dragon, all pieces cut out, somewhere in a small box I *think* on my shelves behind the minky-impersonator fabrics - pink furry blob monster, half sewn, sitting on my sewing machine table - progress pride quilt: waiting on the trans pride flag I want to make for the backing - at least three other finished quilt tops waiting to be quilted (floral chaos, floral chevron, and fall foliage) - purple knit beanie (about half done) in my desk drawer. Two or three more knit beanies just waiting on ends to be woven in (I donate them) - orange fleece beanie (sewed one dart the wrong way out, gotta seam rip it, redo it, and finish the beanie)

This is not counting projects I have not yet started but fully intend to make, like my MTH auction fills from last year or quilts I have fabric for

Crafting update: So far today I have cut out 2/8 pieces for the octopus, ironed 1/2 the fabric for a flannel baby blanket, and ironed all the fabric for the denim lumberjack quilt before realizing I was just re-wrinkling the backing fabric while I tried to iron it because it was Too Much Fabric at once, so I spread it out on the floor, cut it down much closer to size, and am going to re-iron it I am having some trouble focusing, can you tell? lol

Choose The Right Home Decor Accents Online For Your Home - Magikelf

Isn't it incredible how simple decorative objects and accents will make such a big difference in a place. Designers know and understand the impact of things like rugs, throw cushions, chandlers, art, decorative lights, and other decorations. They know how to use them effectively to give a home a graceful look. 

Nevertheless, items and tiny decor can often detract from the overall look of a room. Decor items are usually cheap so they are a good option to give your old home a new look. I will also share with you some of our favorite home decor items.

Why is home decor important for every home?

House ornaments, including paintings to vases and lights everything in between, are the items that give your home a unique personality and look. Whether you proudly display the unique vase you picked from your last summer trip or place some of your favorite photos on the wall, these items are essential in reflecting who you are and what is truly important to your family. It's the accessories you choose that set your home apart from the others and make you feel at ease.

Things To Keep In Mind Before Choosing Home Decor Products 

1. Choose Quality Products over the quantity Products 

Choose products of good quality. We usually get goods from our nearest shops at low prices and in large quantities. So that's how we buy it. We don't even think whether it will look good in our house or not. That's why we should take only high-quality products for our homes which also looks good and lasts long.

2. Take time while collecting accessories 

Don’t just buy the things for your rooms at once. If you will do this it will not look good and looks only like you just filled the space of your room. If you care about your home take time to choose things. Collect accessories over time and concentrate on objects that speak to you.

3. Adding things in layers

Consider accouterments to be cake decorations. Immense items should be used carefully, with small and medium items filling in and creating balance wherever necessary. While put together, various small ornaments might create the "feel" of a larger piece.

4. Choose the correct proportion of home decor

Take some time to study scale and proportion, as well as what works the best in a particular area, while selecting and/or putting accessories. Scale and proportion are free elements that contribute to the creation of a comfortable house.

Growing up, Virginia Morris’ family owned a holiday house in Anglesea (on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road) filled with beautiful memories and experiences she hoped to share with her own children, Kai (now 17) and Jude (15). She kept an eye on the town’s real estate for years, until a house just 100 steps from Point Roadknight beach became available.

‘It’s hard to describe, but there is an instant relaxing vibe that washes over you as soon as you walk in the front door… I felt it when I went to the first inspection when the house was on the market; I was sold the minute I walked in (although I put my best poker face on for the agent!),’ says Virginia. ‘I did everything I could to make it happen.’

Virginia loved the original 1980’s house, including its great natural air flow, north-facing windows. and exposed timber ceilings – all of which she planned on retaining.

‘The house was built by a builder local to the area… and still feels modern in its design 37 years on,’ Virginia says. ‘People are often shocked when they find out when it was built.’

At the same time, after years of being used as occasional holiday accommodation, the house had lost some of its homely feel. Several rooms had also been added over the time, leaving the property with a massive six bedrooms! 

Renovations were undertaken over several years, in collaboration with local trades. The addition of a plunge pool/spa was the first priority; followed by a new kitchen with concrete bench tops; then the removal of a bar to open up the living area.

‘It felt nice to turn it back into a permanent family home,’ says Virginia. 

Years later, the family converted an unused rumpus room, laundry, bathroom into a self-contained bungalow. This section features its own private entrance and courtyard, and is available for short term rent under the nickname 100 Steps to the Beach Bungalow. The family also rent the main house out on occasion, which sleeps 10 guests.  

Styling wise, Virginia has played with colour to facilitate a ‘fun, relaxed beach vibe’ throughout the interiors. Indoor plants feature in almost every room, and are a welcome dose of greenery in contrast to the home’s dark exterior.

Add to this the sound of the waves as you drift off to sleep, and you have one very enviable home!
