Christmas Countdown 13; Christmas tree #13 - Techno Geek

  Futuristic Christmas tree made from LEDS and bathroom pipes
Advent Blog Day 13: Techno geek 
Today's blog post proves that techno geeks do indeed have a great time at Christmas... 
Christmas trees created with advanced technology are spectacular... I know we have had LED  and optic fibre trees for some time but I am amazed at some of these - from the humblest made from recycled CDs and computer parts....

You might be in awe of this technology but if you have access to the technology at home, you can create your own  little bit of technology magic with a 3D printed Christmas tree....

If the technology is all too much for you, you can purchase some commercially produced techno trees. This LED   masterpiece (below)  depending on size ranges from $18,000 to $47,000-  Sadly, not within the limits of  my Christmas decorating budget ... 


Although I have tried to include videos shorter than  3 minutes throughout this series, when interactivity and 3D mapping come together, the result is truly awesome  - be mesmerised for 5 minutes. Please take the time, it's worth the experience. 
After this high powered post, let's get back to nature tomorrow. Same time, same place - already half way through Advent!

Christmas Countdown #25envelopes/9 : Holly

  9 December Christmas Countdown #25envelopes : Holly . The Druids of ancient Britain believed holly leaves had great powers of fertility and longevity . Nowadays, Holly has become a symbol of a Christian Christmas. It is also said that the sharp holly represents the crown of thorns that Jesus wore, and the red berries the blood he shed, so it has quite a religious significance. Today’s envelope is a simple collage with paper and fabric. I couched (stitched) Holly ribbon and embroidered French knots for the berries. The Holly theme is inspired by one of my favourite Australian Christmas stamps, depicting an angel with holly leaf wings . Today, I was stitching the holly ribbon onto the envelope at the Wednesday group and had planned to glue on some paper berries but a friend convinced me that embroidered ones would look much better and I think she is right!

#SeptTextileLove Day 5

  #SeptTextileLove #STL26Day5   ‘Caring’ … so much of what textile artists do involves caring - for the environment , for others, for our own health and well-being , for social justice, for our art … today I’m advocating caring about sourcing our materials . I use lots of embroidery thread and it is sometimes tempting to buy cheaper imported threads than the ones I really love to work with, - hand dyed right here in Australia by a small    family business . I looked at one of the omnipresent online ads with its    incorrect spelling and the suggestion that bulk is better gives strong    hints about the ‘quality’ and the price makes me wonder about the working conditions and rights of those who produce and package the thread?    I care that the people who make the materials I use get a fair wage and work in safe conditions. I also care that the quality of the materials I use are the best I can afford and have the least negative impact on ...

#SeptTextileLove26 Day 7

  #SeptTextileLove #STL26Day7 ‘Historical’ ... Family history is often a source of inspiration and information for my work. This stitched work featuring a photo of my great grandmother also acts as a commentary on the Chinese historical practice of foot binding, hence the inclusion of an x ray photograph of a female bound foot. It looks painful and undoubtedly was , but it was considered 'beautiful". What contemporary body shaping practices do we still engage in for the sake of ‘beauty’? Historical body shaping practices included tight-lacing corsets, foot binding, and neck elongation , all used to mould the human form into culturally defined ideals of beauty. (AI overview) Foot Binding in China Starting from Song elites and eventually popularized and ended in the Qing dynasty, foot binding was seen as an idolized representation of women's petite beauty, and the practice was referred to as "三寸金莲" , 'three-inch golden lotus' Wikipedia . This practice...
