Let’s talk about books for the next three posts, shall we? For my part, I’ve been wanting to do it for some time. A good way to show you guys what’s inspires and influences me. Other than my interest in making dolls, I am a lover of reading, but also books of all kinds: adventure novels, visual books, photographs, fashion designers/fashion houses/costumes, textiles, crafts and even comics. It’s an interest that has fascinated me since my youth and that hasn’t faded over the years. Indeed, it has only grown. I would like to share my passion for books, especially those that help me better develop my creative ideas. Let’s get started.
Textile books from all over the world are my favorite. The history of the textile fiber, from weaving and dyeing, is the most interesting. It allows us to better understand the influence of certain peoples on the whole world (clothing, hairstyles, make-up, furniture, visual art, architecture and the art of decoration). The textile books that fascinate me the most are those from Africa, the Americas, Central and South Asia. But, I have a passion for everything that comes from India. There is nothing like Indian textiles, in my eyes, it represents dreams, passion and history. I think of silk, Paisley patterns, ostrich leaves, intricate embroidery and beadwork. Oh! I forgot, the importance of color in the rich Indian culture. In fact, all the textile books you see have one thing in common: the regional textile heritage of each region that makes them proud. If you are interested in these books, most of them have been sourced from Amazon. 😊
