daun-jeongDaun Jeong is a South Korea-based artist whose chosen medium is fabric. She uses texture, color and patterns of cloth in creating these intriguing fabric drawings. Couldn’t find very much information about the artist but on her website she says this about her work:

“The most important and frequently used media in my work is fabric. I’m interested in visual aspects that come from the act of seeing. Fabric has been chosen as the medium not to make a narrative or conceptualize personal life but to express my artistic interest. Fabric Drawing is literally a painting that is drawn with fabric. Visual effects are minimized and a pure expression of fabric constitutes the artwork. In other words, I make paintings by using texture, color, and patterns of fabric, seeking new possibilities of visual effects in the painting genre.”

mayamatthewAdmiring the embroidered fabric book created by Bangalore-based stitcher, Maya Matthew. Her blog, Million Little Stitches, is described as a ‘creative outpourings of the stitch obsessed’. She shows pictures of other embroidered books but this book of various stitches is by far our favorite. She writes this about
creative ‘time’ here on her blog:

“I believe if you use the method of “going with the flow” in a creative process the one thing you need in abundance is – time.”

“Time for trials, time for an idea to evolve and mature, time to execute, and make changes and time for contemplation, to know when its all done and not another stitch or sequin is required. The luxury of time alas is not the case with most projects I undertake.Projects which are constrained by time I must admit bring in the money but those which have time on their side, grow, evolve and are touched with a special je ne sais quoi.”

Injiri

injiriJaipur-based Chinar Farooqui is the designer and founder of one of our favorite clothing and home textile brand, Injiri. Her passion lies in traditional textiles drawing inspiration from folk clothing, her childhood in Rajasthan, her travels and her love of time-honored Indian textiles and techniques. Her product line is entirely made by hand– from weaving and dyeing to the last trims and finishes passing through the hands of craftspeople from various parts of india. In an interview on Interiors by Jacquin she says this about her perfect day:

“Textile and garment design are close to my heart, so it’s important that I spend time creating. A perfect day is on in which I have achieved enough in terms of my creative work. Since my work involves many other aspects of business, I do have days in which I do not find enough time to do creative things – and therefore I really have to strike the right balance.”
