Culture by the Yard
Just a few of the cultural fabrics we’ve used in our crafting projects to add a mix of beauty and utility to our world.
Saekdong Korean Cultural Fabric
Aboriginal Art Cultural Fabric
African Cultural Fabric
Pakistani Truck Art
We learned of “Pakistani truck art” on social media. How glorious! This one was one of our favorites:
Our Flowers
Flowers often mark a special occasion. When a woman wears a flower, she is the special occasion. Visit our #WallofPretty.
The Saekdong Korean cultural fabric has always been a part of our lives, mainly through Hanboks (traditional Korean clothing), a favorite family blanket that was upcycled into heart-shaped heating pads, and now flowers!
Saekdong means “many colored” and is said to ward off evil spirits and attract prosperity. To learn more about Saekdong, please visit the Korean American Center and Korea.net.
Our Tissue Box Covers
Our tissue box covers are typically made as part of a set… parent/child, husband/wife, etc. When reaching for a tissue when sick or sad, we feel that there’s a soothing connection to a loved one through the counterpart in the set.
Each tissue box cover has two pockets! What would you keep in yours?
One of our favorite patterns is “Bambillah” by
Aboriginal Artist Nambooka.
Who knew we’d learn to appreciate larvae and ants as art? Nambooka’s intent was to portray the spiritual world in the eyes of native Australians. We think it’s working.
