In the series of "trying to post any and everything I produce". Here is my plan to make a patch for my pants or backpack pocket , as I am always collecting little trinkets and shinies!

Thought on making it green instead of white, my clothing is always grayscale and green. But high contrast like this is more eye-catching!

You do not care but I'll update you guys anyways if I ever apply that design somewhere at all!

Big Mac

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the mac. Here's how Charles Macintosh discovered that a rubber layer between two pieces of cloth made for a #waterproof #fabtic #textiles

The adage “muck and money go together”, recorded by John Ray in A collection of English proverbs (1678), might well have served as the Macintosh family motto. Father George, a dye manufacturer, sent round collectors to pay the poorer denizens of Glasgow for their urine, from which he extracted ammonia. This he used in the manufacture of cudbear, a valuable violet-reddish dye obtained from…

Maybe not quite your purview, but do you have any thoughts on lichen-based dyes like orchil? I got into the rabbithole when I was a wee textile hobbyist, but I was wondering if it’s a topic getting focus in more biology-focused circles

Ooo yes! An interesting topic! I am new to the lichen textile world, but I have OPINIONS. Most of which I got from reading Lichen Dyes: The New Source Book by Karen Diadick Casselman, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in lichen textile dyes.

tl;dr: I support salvage harvesting, where only lichens that are detached from the substrate, and/or are likely to be damaged/destroyed by human activity are collected and used for dying. This is difficult with the scarcity/longevity of lichens used for orchil and other purple dyes. But if you can find it, I think using them to dye textiles it is a great way to spread awareness of lichens and how incredible they are!

For those who don't know, orchil is one of many names for a purple dye derived from ammonia prepared lichens--mainly Roccella in the Mediterranean. Other purple producing lichens mainly used in northern Europe include Ochrolechia (aka cudbear, kork, or korkje) and Lasallia/Umbilicaria (aka orsallia). Purple dye itself dates back to neolithic times, and can also be made using the crushed bodies of marine gastropods (murex), and the crushed shells of arthropods (kermes). Purple dying likely originated in eastern or central Asia, and spread to Europe following the crusades. People have been using orchil for a long time, with the oldest recorded recipe for lichen-derived purple dye found on the Papyrus Graecus Holmiensis dating to the 3rd century AD Egypt. The recipe is written in Greek, which already speaks to it’s widespread use across cultures. And if you know anything about history, you might know that people went nuts for purple. Absolutely loved those purple textiles. They were used to signify wealth, rank, and royalty, since that purple color could only come from laborious and painstaking processes of collecting, grinding, and ammonia fixing of tiny mollusks, bugs, or lichens. Lichens were the least difficult of these organisms to collect, since they, you know, hold still, and don’t stink as bad as shellfish and bugs, so the use of lichens for purple dying really took off across Europe.

As natural history often goes, lichens were largely over exploited for their use in purple dyes over the centuries (cough cough, industrial revolution I am looking at you). It doesn’t help that lichens (particularly the ones used to make purple) are extremely slow growing, impossible to cultivate on any sort of scale, and very sensitive to environmental change. We have records of huge populations of lichen completely obliterated by the large scale dying operations of 18th century, and this likely occurred long before that in other regions that we have a less robust history of. Due to habitat loss and continued human exploitation, Roccella lichens are imperiled in much of their costal habitat. So I don't personally think someone can ethically collect lichens for commercial dying.

But, I am a big fan of salvage lichen collection and dying! That's what I am working on currently, and have a large collection of lichens collected from trails, sidewalks, gutters, woodpiles, and public parks. I am very careful to only collect lichens I can ID as common and can actually use. This way my salvaging has little impact on the environment. IF you happen to live in an area where you can ethically salvage the right lichens for orchil, do it! It's a fun project, and it's a great way to introduce people to some lichens they may otherwise overlook. For example, when I was at Mont-Saint-Michel, they were cleaning the roccella lichens off the walls of the structure and they were piled up EVERYWHERE, and were destined for the bin. I was only able to collect a little, but if someone went into that situation prepared . . . I'd be purple with envy. These situations are few and far between for the purple-making lichens, but I have to believe they are out there.

Anyway, I have plans to share more of the info I have on lichen dyeing in the future. Keep an eye out! And happy crafting.

On December 29th 1766 the chemist and inventor Charles Macintosh was born in Glasgow.

His father originally came from the Highlands, moving to Glasgow to set up a factory in Dennistoun in 1777 to manufacture a violet-red dying powder made from lichens (cudbear).

Macintosh attended school in England, before returning home to begin his career. He began working as a clerk in Glasgow for a local merchant at a young age, and was expected to follow in his father’s footsteps, but instead spent most of his spare time focusing on science, his true love.

In 1818, while analysing the by-products of a works making coal gas, he discovered dissolved indiarubber. He joined two sheets of fabric together with this solution, allowed them to dry, and discovered that the new material could not be penetrated by water - the first rainproof cloth!

Together with chemist George Hancock, Macintosh solved many of the problems involved in reliably producing waterproofed sheets and coats.

The material was first introduced in 1824 as Mackintosh (with an additional "k"). Macintosh founded his own waterproofing company in Glasgow in 1834 - mainly because to the opposition he faced from tailors, who wanted nothing to do with his new cloth - but moved to Manchester in 1840 to exploit the material further. The factory is now owned by the Dunlop Rubber Company, another company founded by a Scot! 

Although Macintosh is best known for his eponymously-titled coats, he was a brilliant chemist with achievements in many different fields. He invented a revolutionary bleaching powder along with Charles Tennant, devised a way of using carbon gases to convert malleable iron to steel by a short-cut method, and worked out a hot-blast process with James Neilson to produce high quality cast iron.

Macintosh was also associated with  Ayrshire-born David Dale  in the making of turkey-red dyeing in Scotland, and established the first Scottish alum (a double sulphate of aluminium and potassium) works.

Macintosh was honored for his contributions to chemistry by his election in 1823 as a fellow of the Royal Society.

He died on the 25th July 1843 still close to his native hometown, at Dunchattan, near Glasgow, Scotland.

purple.

Own Knowledge:

Purple is a secondary colour as it is a result of mixing the primary colours blue and red. 

I have a personal connection to the colour purple because I have a vitamin deficiency which causes bruising on my legs excessively. 

I currently have over 30 bruises on my legs. 

An influential novel in my adolescence is The Color Purple by Alice Walker. 

I was raised by a Catholic mother and observed in the masses that the priest’s robes worn during the Advent and Lent seasons, purple reflects sorrow and suffering.

The colour also came to symbolise wealth, power and royalty because in antiquity purple dye was very expensive.

Depending on your spiritual beliefs you make think the next sentence is phoney. A ‘spirit guide’ once observed that my aura was lilac (a purple tint). 

My birthstone is an amethyst which is a precious stone consisting of a violet or purple variety of quartz.

When I was growing up I had a really big lavender bush that my family used for restlessness, insomnia, headache and pain as well as for  flavour in food. 

Purple ink dissolved in water was hosed onto protesters, during apartheid, to locate them once the crowds dispersed.  In the English language, the word "purple" has only one perfect rhyme, curple.

Purple Idioms:

Purple prose – writing that is more complicated and formal than necessary.

Born to the purple – Someone who is born to the purple is born in a royal or aristocratic family.

Purple State - In U.S. general elections, a state that votes in roughly equal proportion for candidates of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Primarily heard in US.

Purple Patch - A section of writing that is showy and extravagant and often stands out in contrast to the rest of the writing in a piece.

Book Recommendations:

“In the colour spectrum this linear sweep of colour is bent and joined at the ends so that the shortest and the longest wavelengths overlap and form purple.” (The Luminous and the Grey by David Batchelor) “Purple gives way to blue. The blue gives way to purple.”   “A mere two days after his arrival in New Guinea in 1914 he could write in his diary: ‘Felt not too distinctly or strongly but surely that a bond was growing up between myself and this landscape . . . the purple glow in the west penetrated the palm grove and covered the scorched grass with its blaze, slithering over the dark sapphire waters.’” “... amid the turquoise vegetation, you see rich purple stones overgrown with weeds.” “Fires had been started in a few places. Marvellous spectacle. Red, sometimes purple flames had crawled up the hillside in narrow ribbons; through the dark blue or sapphire smoke the hillside changes colour like a black opal under the glint of its polished surface.” “...while indigo, so hugely important a commodity for some two thousand years, this blue that is also black and purple, became the colour that supplanted colour when, beginning in the fourteenth century, the aristocracy (male and female) used indigo to have their clothes dyed deep black in a widespread process of European discoloration in both Catholic and Protestant countries.” “ The beauty of old Indian ‘painted calicoes’ lies first of all in their colour, which is the first thing to strike the eye. Lovely rich tones of rose, from full crimson to delicate shell pink, purple fading to palest lilac... “ (What Color Is the Sacred? by Michael Taussig) “‘Purple’ is defined in the new Oxford Dictionary as ‘a colour intermediate between red and blue’. Blue is defined as ‘a colour intermediate between green and violet’ and violet is ‘a bluish-purple colour’.” “alpenglow - The purple gleam on alpine snow” “amaranth -The reddish-purple or deep crimson colour of the leaves of the Amarantus. The words amarantin, amarantine and amaranthine, signifying ‘fadeless’, ‘immortal’ or ‘unwithering’, refer to Pliny’s imaginary and never fading amaranth flower. Also a purple food additive (E123). “   “amethyst- Violet-purple or purplish-blue (particularly in heraldry); from the Greek meaning ‘preventing intoxication’ a characteristic once ascribed to the stone of the same name.“

Such stars were also used in Nazi concentration camps where patches and badges of various colours were required to be worn to indicate a variety of other groupings. Brown triangles indicated gypsies; purple or violet – Jehovah’s witnesses; green – habitual criminals; red – political in-mates; pink – homosexuals; black triangles indicated members of a supposedly asocial grouping including prostitutes and lesbians (and in some camps, gypsies) and a blue triangle indicated emigrants.” “purple patch; to go through a -To experience a period when everything goes well. “     (A DICTIONARY OF COLOUR by Ian Paterson)

History of Purple:

As civilisations developed, so did clothing and coloured dyes. The earliest purple dyes date back to about 1900 B.C It took 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of the pure dye - which was hardly enough for dying a single item of clothing the size of the Roman toga. It’s a no-brainer, that this colour was used primarily for garments privileged individuals. Over the course of history, purple pigments and dyes became less costly and complex, but one thing has remained the same: Purple symbolises nobility and luxury to most people in the world.

Bases on surveys in Europe and North America, purple is the colour most often associated with rarity, royalty, magic, mystery, and piety. When combined with pink, it is associated with eroticism, femininity, and seduction.

Symbol of the Feminist movement (Second Wave) in the United States (1970s). The purple colour was chosen as a tribute to the Suffragette movement a half-century earlier (First Wave). In the West, purple is the colour most associated with vanity, extravagance, and individualism. Among the seven major sins, it represents vanity. It is a colour which is used to attract attention. Purple is the colour most often associated with the artificial and the unconventional. It is the major colour that occurs the least frequently in nature, and was the first colour to be synthesised. Purple is sometimes associated with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. It is the symbolic colour worn on Spirit Day, a commemoration that began in 2010 to show support for young people who are bullied because of their sexual orientation. Purple is closely associated with bisexuality, largely in part to the bisexual pride flag which combines pink – representing homosexuality – and blue – representing heterosexuality – to create the bisexual purple. 

Purple in Art:

Henri Matisse, Les toits de Collioure (1905). Henri Matisse and the other painters of the Fauvist movement were the first to make a major use of magenta to surprise and make an impact on the emotions of the viewer.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a Magenta coloured banknote of ₹2000 denomination on 8 November 2016 under Mahatma Gandhi New Series. This is the highest currency note printed by RBI that is in active circulation in India.

Standing on each other's neck

For good or for bad, it's like being on a leash makes you behave... You can rotate the image however you like, it should be good either way! Fanart of one of my favorite manhwa, I love them so much, they almost killed each other a dozen times already, why are they like this. Such a power duo... The story seems to be getting to an end but they left me in a cliffhanger so now I'm sad.

Did you know that lichens can produce amazing dyes? Learn more in our online course on natural dyeing. The price is 50 euros. Visit jointheflow.net for more information. Many lichens produce secondary compounds, including pigments that reduce harmful amounts of sunlight and powerful toxins that reduce herbivory or kill bacteria. These compounds are very useful for lichen identification, and have had economic importance as dyes such as cudbear or primitive antibiotics.   Photo was taken by me, all rights reserved. #lichen  #lichens  #foraging #rewilding #primitiveskills #sustainablefashion #dyersofinstagram #naturaldye #plantdye  #naturaldyes #naturaldyersofinstagram #naturaldyeing #ecodye #ecodyeing  #distancelearning #herbnerd #plantallies #textileartist #ecoartist #veganfashion #ecofashionista #slowfashionmovement #majestic_macros   https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdVS_VpWXM/?igshid=1297ew2j5xm69

How to Come Up With a Business Name (11 Methods + 12 Tools)

“I heard you’ve got a new business, congrats! What’s it called?”  This happens to almost any new business owner as people are curious to hear about the brand name after hearing about what your business does. Whenever someone asks you about the name of your new business, a cool and out of the box name can make a lasting impression. Additionally, coming up with a brand name is one of the most important decisions for a founder. That’s not all, the brand name also helps guide the company’s promotion and branding strategy. Here are some qualities that should be in a brand name: Catchy, to grab attention instantlyMemorable, Easy to rememberShort, shorter names are easy to pronounce and remember.A minor reflection of your products or services (optional)Most importantly, Unique These qualities make a good impact as always and should be followed whenever someone is starting a new venture. That might be hectic for a while as it takes some steps and brainstorming and if you’re already filled with a lot of other stuff in your brain then maybe the moment you’re planning with brainstorming, your brain is at rest mode. So, let’s make a churn and burn, easy way to come up with a great, catchy, memorable & short brand name.  Because coming up with a solid brand name is difficult when you have tons of other things to get done, here is a step-by-step process to coming up with a product or brand name that leaves a lasting impression on your customers. Before that, if you’re into a new business, best of luck from our team!

How to Come Up With Unique Business Name Ideas?

There are going to be a few methods and ways with tools that can help in this case. Scenario / Example: Let’s consider two businesses - a mobile app development services company, and socks manufacturing business. Let’s walk through one process to come up with business name ideas both of these businesses. Important Notice: I will restrict myself to a few terms that I will select to go along with, to make things simple and get the point across. However, I suggest you select at least 10 terms or words that reflect and define your business and its value proposition for a good result.  I will attempt to make names based on my selected words and terms only, instead of moving in a random direction. Once you have a list of brand name ideas, then you can play around and creatively find one what works best. And last but not least, I will be only giving a few brand names as an example to each method whereas there can be many. Hope it goes well. Let’s get started!

Synonyms - Related Words

How does it work? Here we find synonyms for the business, but what word should we use as a starting point? Let’s define words or terms that are very relevant to the two businesses.  Application & Development  and Socks & Feet  These are my starting terms and words. Let’s look for synonyms related to these terms. You can google ”application or development synonyms” or go to Thesaurus.com, paste the word and see if you get something useful. With a quick search on Google, here are some words that I found and make sense to me: Evolution (Development)Buildup (Development)Headway (Development)Praxis (Application) and Hosiery (socks)Anklet (socks)Heel (socks) I can combine my original and synonym words from here to come up with the first layer of ideas. Service: PraxisHeadwayPraxisHeadwayAppEvolutionAppBuildup Product: HosierySocksAnkleSockSocksFeetSocksHeelFeetHeel

Acronym 

How does it work? Suppose we want to explore acronym of our terms that define our businesses, the Mobile App Development Services Company and the American Socks Manufacturing Company. You can come up with any words that describe what your business does. Or, you could use other inspirations like names, locations, etc. Service: MADCAS - Mobile App Development Company and Services CAD - Company of App Development Product: SMC - Socks Manufacturing Company.ASMC - American Socks Manufacturing Company Real Life Examples: IKEADKNYAOL BBC Easy, right?

Mashup

How does it work? This is also easy as straightforward, all you need are two words that capture the essence of your company, and mix them, wholly or half. I have App Development and Socks for Winter. Service: DevelappAppDevAppDDApp Product: Sowin’SockerWisoWintSWinSocks Real Life Examples: Compaq Groupon

Misspell

How does it work? We make a list of terms relevant to our company and add an artistic misspelling. A downside is that people used to consider this a spelling mistake, but with Foundr, Quora, Flickr and others, trends are now changing. Misspelling within limits and to some extent might help make a generic word memorable. Let’s go with App Development and Socks for Winter and see what we come up with. Service: AppDewDevelupAqpAppyAppDoUppDev Product: SockrWintrSockaSockz Real Life Examples: FlickrFoundrTumblrReddit

Symbol (+ Word)

How does it work? There are hundreds of symbols and not just alone in mathematics; symbols can be found in different fields and subjects. You can simply google symbols lists with names or something like that, and you will get many. I liked a few so mentioning them below. Same as above, we've got the same words relevant to the business terms. Service: DeltaMobiDevArcAppPhi Product: NablaPhiSocksLineSocksRay

Removing/Adding extra letters

How does it work? Again, we know our words and what we have to do is add or remove any extra letter from our words. It somehow resembles the above method of misspell but a slight difference is, in removing and adding additional letter should not make a name with the feeling that it is misspelled, but a letter is added or removed, in simple words we’re not allowed to give wrong spelling to the exact words but we can remove or add letters. Our terms here are Mobile Application Development Company and Winter Socks Manufacturing Company. Service: Appobile (M is removed from Mobile)Pobile (M is removed from Mobile)Appa (A is added)Appile (Mob is removed from a mobile)Mobileap (P is removed)Bileap (Mo and P is removed)Mobilee (E is added) Product: SocksMan ( ufacturing is removed)Cosocks (mpany is removed)Macu (nufacturing is removed, C from company and U is added)Wocks (W is added from Winter and S is removed from socks)WinTocks (ter is removed from winter and S from socks)

Words from Dictionary

How does it work? We just need to read a lot of words from the dictionary and see if we can come up with any name for our business. There are a lot of words there and we have to select a word that slightly relevant or reflect our company. I’m only choosing words starting from B, C and D. Here the words will be general and not moving around our selected words but as I’m strictly bond to show examples around our chosen words, so I am listing both versions. But I will prefer to go with general words without using selected terms. Service: Devbawbee / Bawbee (Scottish a coin of low value)BingleDev / Bingle (Austral. informal a collision)AppEdge / Bleeding Edge (the very forefront of technological development)DevColporteur / Colporteur (a person who peddles books, newspapers, or other writings, especially bibles and religious tracts) Product: ConcinnitySocks / Concinnity (elegance or neatness of literary or artistic style)CouthySocks / Couthy (Scottish (of a person) warm and friendly; (of a place) cosy and comfortable)CrottleSocks / Crottle ( a lichen used in Scotland to make a brownish dye for wool)CudbearSocks / Cudbear (a purple or violet powder used for dyeing, made from lichen)DeasilSocks / Deasil (clockwise or in the direction of the sun's course) Real Life Examples: AppleTwitterMajestic Canon

Relevant-Relatives words Combination

How does it work? Our business is about Mobile App Dev and Socks for Winter, so who develop an app? Developer,  What it relates to? Tech, What it does? Run on Mobile and why we use socks? To stay warm, What it is made up of? Thread, Who wears it? Human, When we wear it? In winter. Service: TechRunRunTechMobDevDevRun Product: WarmThreadWinterHumanWarmWinterWinterWarmWinterThread

Hybrid - Half Business Related Word + Half General Word

How does it work? Alright, this is a straightforward way because what you need is one word relevant to your business and one general word. I personally use adjectives or a noun as a general word but you can try anything. My two business-related words are App and Socks and let me add general words with them to see how it comes up. Service: AppDreamAppJunctionAppLopeAppDashAppWinAppGoAppZoneAppShed Product: SocksDudeDeepSocksSocksGenieSockLevelSocksTouchSocksMine Real Life Examples: PayPal (pal means friend)GoDaddyIPhone

Repeat First Two or Three Letters in Inverse

How does it work? In this method, we’ll select the first two or three letters of our defined terms and then add those first letters with our selected first letters but in inverse format. Our words are Application, Development, Socks and Winter. Now, let’s try this.  Service: AppA (Ap are first two words and added in inverse from right to left)DevveD (Dev are first three letters and added in inverse from right to left) Product: SooS (So are first two letters)Soccos (Socs are first three letters)Winniw (Win are first three letters) Real Life Examples: OPPO

Prefix and Suffix 

How does it work? This is also a very simple method which involves prefix and suffix. Come up with words and find prefix and suffix list then try adding into your selected words and see what sounds better. Let’s do it with App and Socks. Service: Appify (-ify is suffix)Appism (-ism is suffix)UnApp (-un is prefix)TransApp (trans- is prefix) Product: Socksly (-ly is suffix)Sockistic (-istic is suffix)Insocks (in- is prefix)UltraSocks (ultra- is prefix) Real Life Examples: WeeblyGrammarly

Other Methods:

Ask employees, friends & relatives for a name suggestionLook for a place name on the map as Amazon, Adobe and Fuji did.Use your name, your kids, or your loved one’s name as Danone and Mercedes did.Use the most important memory by describing it in a single wordUse what you believe by describing it in a single wordLook for historical or mythical places, character names or objects and use them as your brand name as Asus, Nike, and Starbucks did.

Here’re the Names We Got Using Above Methods:

Now I have a long list of name ideas and hopefully, I can select one I like from them. While I did not mix up any two methods and used only the defined terms, you’re free to mix and match different methods at once and play around with multiple terms. Let’s see once more what we’ve got so far.

On December 29th 1766 the chemist and inventor Charles Macintosh was born in Glasgow.

His father originally came from the Highlands, moving to Glasgow to set up a factory in Dennistoun in 1777 to manufacture a violet-red dying powder made from lichens (cudbear).

The young Macintosh had a passion for chemistry and science. By the time he was twenty, he had opened a plant in Glasgow for producing ammonia from coal-gas waste. About the same time, he introduced the manufacture of lead and aluminium acetates to Britain. He also made advances in cloth-dyeing processes, opened Scotland's first alum works, helped devise a method for making bleaching powder, and developed improved methods of iron production. So he was a busy guy long before he invented the water proof garment that bears his name to this day.

A waste product of the Glasgow gasworks was naphtha, a volatile liquid hydrocarbon mixture. In 1819 Macintosh began experimenting with the naphtha and discovered that it dissolved rubber. Applying the knowledge of textiles he had gained as a dye-maker, Macintosh had the idea of using the liquid rubber to waterproof fabrics. He painted one side of wool cloth with the rubber solution, then laid a second thickness of cloth over it. The rubber interior made the resulting sandwich of cloth waterproof.

Although it was more or less an overnight success, the original Macintosh cloth was stiff, smelly, and prone to melting in the heat, but these problems only led to further inventions. Macintosh merged with the clothing company Thomas Hancock in 1830 and began to produce their own ready-to-wear coats. Hancock invented a method of vulcanizing rubber which solved much of the stiffness, smell, and melting problems. They also started using cotton instead of wool, whose oils had a tendency to break down the rubber. They also learned how to tape and glue seams to resist the elements more than stitches alone. The Mackintosh brand is so closely associated with the raincoat that the word “mac” or “mack” can refer to a raincoat of any kind.  The earliest known reference to a “Mackintosh Cloak” was in 1835. It is not known how or why a “k” was added to Macintosh’s name.

The flourishing factory supplied coats to the Police, Railway Workers the military, the Franklin Arctic expedition, as well as the general public Charles Macintosh was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1823, in recognition of his various chemical discoveries. He died on the 25th of July, 1843, at Dunchattan in Scotland and was buried in the graveyard of Glasgow Cathedral, where a stone in the north wall marks his grave. Charles Macintosh with a ‘k’ and his eponymous invention are as much a part of everyday vocabulary as sandwich, biro, hoover and google; even if posterity continues to misspell his name.
