They (your wives) are your garments and ye are their garments. [...] Eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread.

Chapter (2) sūrat l-baqarah (The Cow) 2:187.

Let's talk about cabbage! Not the vegetable. Cabbage is a term for the fabric scraps that accumulate on the floor of a tailor shop, or any place that fabric is cut. In the 18th century when customers provided their own material, cabbage was considered part of a tailor's pay. But why would he want such small pieces of fabric? Sure, he could use it to patch things, or there might be a few pieces big enough to piece together a lining or a pocket, but the main reason was recycling. Wool scraps could be sold to a woolen mill where they would be broken down into loose fibres and respun, or used as insulation. Cotton and linen scraps could be sold to a paper mill, where they would be turned into paper. You can actually date books and documents by whether the paper contains a higher percentage of linen vs cotton-- the invention of the cotton gin in the 1790s made cotton much cheaper to produce, and it overtook linen as the most popular plant fibre for clothing. #clothinghistory #textilehistory #textilerecycling #linen #paper #wool #cotton #ragpaper #cottonragpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/B40osUhjad4/?igshid=1ui7v6drn8863

Paper may seem like a simple tool, but its complicated history has had a strong effect on artists and writers. Here’s why artists should care about paper.

We've fallen a bit behind with our posts recently, so it's time for a catch-up. Forgive us if, in the interests of saving time, some of the captions are a bit brief. Let's start with the first of two new paintings from @easterlyartists member @angeliquefrasermac Angelique Fraser-Mackenzie, whose recent work has taken a new direction, adopting something of a 30s figurative style. This is "One and All" (watercolour on rag paper). --------------- #angeliquefrasermac #easterlyartists #britishartists #contemporaryartpainting #modernartists #visualartwork #suffolkart #suffolkartist #suffolkartists #lowestoftart #markmakingart #watercolourart #watercolours #watercolorartwork #watercolorpaintings #watercolors #watercolorillustrations #ragpaper #figurativeart #figurative_art #figurative_painters (at Lowestoft) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeeYMzADyGB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The second [amulet] was intended to secure for the wearer love and friendship. It was written with a copper pen upon a strip of parchment, with ink made from lilies and crocuses.
