Este es el segundo módulo para la Plataforma del Museo Nacional. Hoy aprendimos a teñir a mano con tintas sobre algodón. El módulo mide 4m de largo X 32cm de ancho (¡es enorme!).
La próxima semana terminaremos de teñirlo y luego lo vamos a bordar.
This is the second panel for the platform of the National Museum exhibit. Today we learned to hand dye with inks over cotton. The panel measures 13 feet long X 12.5″ wide (it’s huge!).
Next week we’ll finish dyeing it, and then we’ll embroider it.

Estamos en proceso de investigación doble, pues no solo estudiamos los sellos indígenas costarricenses, sino que también exploramos posibilidades en estampado sobre algodón.
We’re in the process of double investigation, because not only do we study the Costa Rican Indigenous seals, but also explore possibilities in stamping over cotton cloth.
Cada joven escogió su propio diseño. Los sellos fueron hechos de materiales variados y pueden ser intercambiables.
Each youngster chose his or her own design. The seals were made out of various materials, and could be shared.
Terminamos las obras usando iconografía indígena legítima, la cual bordamos en la tela.
We finished the works using legitimate Indigenous iconography, which we embroidered to the cloth.

“INTERDEPENDENCE”
Huntsville, AL. The International Fiber Collaborative announces its 2008–2009 project, Interdependence, a full-sized tree for display in April 2009. Entrants are encouraged to be creative in deciding on materials and techniques, and may paint, stitch, crochet, patch, quilt, knit, or glue (water resistant glue). Each leaf should measure roughly 5 in. wide (at its thickest) x 7 in. long. Leaves may also have shape and dimension. Submissions may relate to interdependence in a social, economical, political, ecological, or geographical way. The tree’s trunk and branches will all be wrapped with handmade fiber sleeves. The application deadline is March 15, 2009.
PRIMER GRUPO DE 100 HOJAS ENVIADAS PARA ESTE PROYECTO: 
hechas por Silvia Piza-Tandlich y la Colectiva Cerro Danta.

“Interdependencia”
Huntsville, Alabama. La Colaborativa Internacional de Fibras anuncia su proyecto Interdependencia para la temporada 2008-2009. Los participantes van a crear un árbol de tamaño real, para ser mostrado en abril de 2009 en el parque Big Springs International Park. Al igual que un árbol real es interdependiente de sus raíces y hojas para sobrevivir, las sociedades son interdependientes principalmente de las unidades familiares, las comunidades y los países. Los participantes de todo el mundo pueden crear hojas y contribuir en la creación de este árbol. En total, se usarán 30.000 hojas, las cuales deberán ser confeccionadas usando fibra o técnicas de fibra. Alentamos a los partícipes a mostrar su creatividad al escoger materiales y técnicas. Pueden pintar, coser, hacer crochet, parches, quilt, tejido o pegamento (si usan pegamento resistente al agua). Cada hoja deberá medir 12cm en su parte más ancha X 17cm de largo. Las hojas pueden tener formas y dimensiones. Las obras participantes pueden relacionarse a la interdependencia en lo social, económico, político, ecológico o geográfico. El tronco y ramas del árbol serán envueltos en mangas de fibra hechas a mano.
Silvia has been very quiet lately, because there’s a lot of work going on for two major exhibits next year.
Here is a detail of a piece in progress, using both paper and fabric.

The World Reclamation Art Project (WRAP)
In our November/December 2008 issue, we included Jennifer Marsh’s World Reclamation Art Project (WRAP), a gas station cozy created to address the world’s dependence on petroleum. For the project, Marsh received individual squares from thousands of people around the world that she combined to make the cozy. Here Marsh tells the stories of three of the contributors, including Fiberarts Assistant Editor Liz Good.

Story #1
Silvia Piza-Tandlich is a textile artist and the founder and director of Octágono Gallery in Costa Rica. The gallery is a community-based program that provides educational and income opportunities through the textile arts. Silvia and her group joined the project to express their concerns towards our world’s dependency on petroleum. In total, her group donated five truly inspiring panels. Silvia shared with me a story about another participant, whom she met through the IFC, that lived in Argentina. She said this amazing woman had been fighting cancer but was struck by our community textile-based project on oil dependency and was driven to complete a panel. Silvia said the ill woman had to take breaks and rest her arms in ice as she was finishing her panel. Wow! That is just amazing and inspiring.
