Fabric

I wonder if anyone could have guessed that I love fabric. Not in a minor way, but with a bottom of my heart kind of way that I can't accurately describe... the fabric shop is the best place in the whole wide world (followed up closely in second - stationary shops). I'm having a love affair with antique linen at the moment... oh the excitement of printing on it, and thinking of all the things it could be. ahhhh fabric.

Anyhow, I think I might have found a kindred spirit of sorts in the blog True Up. Give it a look!

PS. Image above is some of my new fabric... I'll have more info up here soon - I promise on what it is and how amazing it really is.

Catching up on my Treehugger Reading

I've been out of the loop for a bit (focusing on my work I guess).  And I just saw a really cool article on Thermoelectric Textiles made by GMZ Energy... The original treehugger post is here.  I wonder if they'll send me a sample???

Nano Textiles

Right... Nano and textiles... I can handle it, I'm a smartish cookie... This is really cool, its Cornell's Textiles Nanotechnology Labratory, lets just hope I can understand it all. I think I might need a science degree too...

Ingeo

This interesting fiber is made from corn. Check out their website for how it is made. I wonder if it is really as great as it actually sounds? I guess I have some questions to ask them. http://www.ingeofibers.com/ingeo/home.asp
