fiber art adventures in egypt
I recently got back from a trip to Egypt & finally got around to organizing some pictures to share. One of the things I was most excited about was seeing what I could find on fiber arts and textiles.
Dropping everything under a read more, 'cause this will be a long post haha
first visit: the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC)
At the time of visiting, they had a special textiles exhibit. It covered Pharonic Egypt all the way up to modern times, although I only had time to check out the dynastic & a bit of the Coptic portion of the exhibit (which was what I was really hoping to see anyways)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was super excited to see this diorama in person. I knew about it but had never seen good pictures of it. From the little I've seen of ancient Egyptian spinning, spinning with two spindles seems to be the norm rather than a master technique? It also shows up in tomb art, which the exhibit also shared:
Tumblr media
They also used a different fiber preparation (splicing to create a rove of fiber, no traditional drafting to my understanding) so that probably made a difference? Regardless I really want to see if I can replicate the technique, especially because their spindles look so similar to modern spindles??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I took so many pictures of spindles, guys, and I fully intend to either have a few replicas made or to learn to make some myself. Also, although they were unlabeled... I'm pretty sure those are beaters for weaving? That was a bit of a trend with this trip, so much stuff was unlabeled :( I would've killed to at least get some date estimates for some of the stuff they had on display. I was nerding out in here though, and my family took a few pictures of how excited I was getting. A bit embarrassing, but eh haha
The exhibit also had a section on natural dyes used with a fun visual;
Tumblr media
There was several diagrams specifically describing each dye source, but in the interest of not overloading on pictures I'll just list them out. For blues; woad, Yellows; turmeric, safflower, saffron, or yellow ochre; reds; madder, henna, pomegranate, and kermes. I originally thought kermes was another way to say cochineal, but it only seems to be distantly related.
next visit: Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Center
A small art center dedicated to hand-weaving wool and cotton tapestries. All of their work was museum quality & awe inspiring!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was even invited to their back rooms to watch a few of their weavers working; no I don't have room to put a room-sized loom anywhere but heck do I want one now
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our guide that took us through talked a bit about the natural dyes they use (all of their dyes are dyed in house with what they grow in their dye garden!!!) and got excited to hear I was also interested in natural dyes! He seemed a bit disappointed I'd never worked with indigo and. while indigo scares me, I'll take it as a sign that maybe I should try some time this year haha.
final visit; the Egyptian Museum
we really had to rush through this one which was a huge shame because it's packed full of artifacts. Also, the lighting in there is atrocious, so apologies for the not great pictures ahead.
They had a fascinating display of textile tools, more than what the NMEC had;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Hand for size reference) I want all of these spindles! So badly! But a few of them look so much like a few of the spindles I own already?? A few of them had a spiraling notch, that's so cool? But also, what's going on with the one with two whorls? I have no idea. I'm fascinated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at these whorls!! Although again, I'm a bit confused; the lack of labeling strikes again. Unsure why some of these "whorls" have two holes, or what the metal object with the wooden handle is. The display implies sewing needles, and some of them do look like it, but others.... really don't look like sewing needles. I'm absolutely enchanted by this little whorl though. I think it has birds on it?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
More objects that I'm baffled by- the signage doesn't really indicate what some of this stuff is, if it's even known. Also confused by the object wrapped in white string in the right pic; it looks like a distaff but to the best of my knowledge the (ancient at least) Egyptians didn't use distaffs. It probably popped up in later times and was put in this display since it was still relevant, but I'm still not sure.
I have so many more pictures & thoughts but I'll save those for more specific future projects. I've been doing research outside this trip on ancient Egyptian spinning techniques and desperately want to go deeper into that, this trip just solidified how excited it makes me. If you made it all the way through this, many thanks for reading!
Bonus; look at this ancient linen 🥺

While we don't know the exact circumstances of their birth, they are only referred to with they/them pronouns and are explicitly shown to be separate form the player, and therefore does NOT take the identity of the player, meaning they apply for the Gender Clause!
Thank you for your submission!

Both of them being so intensely touch adverse that each is overly cautious of touching the other even casually is so important to me, but. Sometimes. I think this happens.

One thing I absolutely love about Rise is that it just might be the best version at portraying the family part of the characters. They have petty arguments that they get over really quickly, they say "I love you", and we have so many instances of them just hugging. But my absolute favorite part of it is how in this show, April is just treated like another one of the siblings. She participates in family events, calls when she needs them, and they even refer to her as family sometimes.
Tumblr media
Here in Lair Games, she's the one filming the event. Not only is she the camera person for this annual family tradition for the turtles, but she's implied to have been the one who filmed all of the Lair Games, meaning she's also an integral part of this family event.
Tumblr media
In Fist of the Furry, Splinter decides to take one of them to check up on his dojos, and when the boys all beat each other, April cheers because that means she gets to go. Not only does she not hesitate and assume Splinter will choose someone else, she's also completely correct in her cheers, as Splinter responds to her by saying "Wonderful!" and proceeding to show her the map.
In this same episode, Splinter teaches her his top secret super powerful move, gives her a surprisingly heartfelt pep talk, and she even calls him Sensei at one point (which at this point in TMNT canon is pretty much like calling him dad {to my knowledge the only other April to call him that is 2012 April}).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On top of that, April is in the center of this photo Leo carries with him in the Rise movie, and there's this picture Mikey draws for Karai that he says "really represents our togetherness as a family".
And that's only a few examples.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
