Full textAbstract:
This Master’s degree project explores the design possibilities of thread tension, to create a transformation in an interactive, 3D embroidered, wooden surface. The aim is to create a playful visual expression on a surface triggered by interaction. The surface is manipulated by embroidery and the embroidery is manipulated by the tension in the thread. Together all parts create a simple mechanism that allows the viewer to sink into a playful loop of a rising and collapsing structure. Dancing embroidery. The work explores the potential of the thread as a key factor together with interaction to make a transformation of a surface possible. The thread is used both in the function of the surface and at the same time it creates a strong visual expression as it stands out to show its strength and power.

Montesino, Hammarskjöld Teresa. "Crafting-design : Tuft meets Embroidery." Thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-24034.
Full textAbstract:
This project combines industrial tuft with handmade embroidery in order to explore various combinations of textured surfaces, materials and colors. The purpose is to investigate a meeting between craft and design by focusing on the encounter between the compact and the loose, the assembly of materials, as well as variations in levels and heights. The works are mainly based on recycled materials. Three textiles pieces were designed: a First Piece focuses on the meeting between craft and design; the Second Piece relates to different textures and the Third Piece addresses growth. The combination of hand embroidery and tufting create diversity and nuances in expressions, forms and textures. The small-scale of hand-embroidery permits the use of materials difficult or impossible to handle in machines and thus break the monotony of tuft. Through the tufting technique, larger compact pieces are produced that have depth and are sound-absorbent. This project aims to create a bridge between craft and design in the field of textile design.

Bordados e bordadeiras, um estudo etnográfico sobre a produção artesanal de bordados em Caicó/RN tem objetivo investigar como o bordado uma prática artesanal, doméstica, feminina permite acessar questões de ordem social, econômica, histórica e cultural de uma determinada região do nordeste brasileiro. As redes sociais, tecidas em torno da produção do bordado, são hábeis para recriar relações várias em função das necessidades, das influências, das confluências, das apropriações e das transformações em torno da prática artesanal. Por isso, esta tese se dedica a apresentar, descrever e analisar o bordado como um eixo das relações sociais, fornecendo, ainda, pistas para novas leituras sobre uma região estigmatizada pelas ideias que cercam a sua geografia e sua história. Para investigar esse processo, a etnografia foi utilizada como método (incluindo: entrevistas, foto-entrevistas, acompanhamento do processo de produção e de comercialização de bordados). E, a fim de percorrer as múltiplas relações que se tecem nesse contexto, foram priorizados: (a) apresentação da região e da cidade, (b) descrição dos bordados, (c) elaboração da rede composta pelas bordadeiras e (d) bordados em circulação.Embroidery and embroider, an ethnographic study on the craft production of embroidery in Caicó/RN aims at investigating how the embroidery, a handcraft, domestic and female practice, allows the approaches of questions about certain part of the Brazilian northeast regarding its social order, its economy, its history and its cultural factors. The social networks, woven around the embroidery production, are capable to recreate several relationships regarding the needs, the influences, the confluences, the appropriations and the transformations around the handmade practice. Therefore, this thesis has the purpose of presenting, describing and analyzing the embroidery as a spindle of the social relationships, which also provides leads to new readings about a stigmatized region regarding the ideas related to its geography and history. To investigate this process, the ethnographic method was used (including: interviews, photographic-interviews, monitoring of the production process as well as the embroidery commercialization). In order to wander the multiple relationships that weave in this context, the following has been prioritized: (a) the presentation of the region and the city, (b) the description of the embroideries, (c) the elaboration of embroiders network and (d) the embroidery in circulation.

Full textAbstract:
In the years between 1960 and 1975 in NSW there emerged a loosely connected network of women interested in modern or creative embroidery. The Embroiderers' Guild of NSW served as a focus for many of these women, providing opportunities for them to exhibit their work, and to engage in embroidery education as teachers or as learners. Others worked independently, exhibited in commercial galleries and endeavoured to establish reputations as professional artists. Some of these women were trained artists and wanted embroidery to be seen as 'art'; others were enthusiastic amateurs, engaged in embroidery as a form of 'serious leisure'. They played a significant role in the development of creative embroidery and textile art in NSW and yet, for the most part, their story is absent from the narratives of Australian art and craft history. These women were involved in a network of interactions which displayed many of the characteristics of more organised art worlds, as posite d by sociologist Howard Becker. They produced work according to shared conventions, they established co-operative links with each other and with other organisations, they organised educational opportunities to encourage others to take up creative embroidery and they mounted exhibitions to facilitate engagement with a public audience. Although their absence from the literature suggests that they operated in isolation, my research indicates that there were many points of contact between the embroidery world, the broader craft world and the fine art community in NSW. This thesis examines the context in which creative embroiderers worked, discusses the careers of key individuals working at this time, explores the interactions between them, and evaluates the influence that they had on later practice in embroidery and textiles in NSW.

Os processos eletrônicos alteram os conceitos básicos do fazer artesanal e, portanto, o conceito de bordado também se altera. Diante dessa ruptura, surge a justificativa desse trabalho: a análise dos bordados, sejam manuais ou eletrônicos. Este trabalho busca investigar o bordado para debater as transformações ocorridas ao longo do tempo, incluindo a utilização de novas tecnologias, examinando se é coerente dizer que as máquinas eletrônicas bordam. A metodologia aplicada inclui diferentes etapas, iniciando pela checagem dos temas e dos contextos relacionados para examinar o bordado, aferindo os seus diferentes processos de produção: o trabalho manual e o sistema eletrônico. A pesquisa também tem por base uma revisão teórica dos conceitos apresentados. A discussão a respeito da evolução do artesanato no Brasil conduz o olhar para a nossa prática, ilustrando o debate com o trabalho realizado na Cooperativa de Trabalho Artesanal e de Costura da Rocinha Ltda - até recentemente reconhecida como COOPA-ROCA. A experiência aprofunda a reflexão a respeito de uma cultura metodológica relacionada ao bordado manual, elucidando o papel do consumidor.
Electronic processes change the basic concepts of making crafts, and therefore the concept of embroidery also changes. Faced with this disruption, the justification of this work emerge: the analysis of the embroideries, either manual or electronic. This work seeks to investigate the embroidery to discuss the transformations that occurred over time, including the use of new technologies, examining whether it is coherent to say that the electronic machines does embroideries. The methodology was organized in different stages, starting with the checking of the topics and related contexts to examine the embroidery, assessing their different production processes: the manual work and the electronic system. The research is also based on a theoretical revision of the presented concepts. The discussion about the evolution of handicrafts in Brazil leads to a look at our practice, illustrating the debate with the work carried out at the Cooperativa de Trabalho Artesanal e de Costura da Rocinha Ltda - until lately recognized as COOPA-ROCA. The experience deepens the reflection about a methodological culture for the manual embroidery, elucidating the role of the consumer.

Full textAbstract:
This practice-based art and design project explores the potential use of contemporary materials and techniques in relation to extending aesthetic and structural possibilities of embroidery, with a focus on developing textile formations through the medium of ‘free stitch’ machine embroidery. Embroidery is often perceived by the non-enthusiast as a ‘granny craft’: an ‘old’ technique. Contemporary representations of embroidery suggest that new and innovative interpretations exist. Through investigation and experimentation with products, textiles and techniques, the embroidered artefacts that I have crafted are intended to disrupt the conventional perceptions of embroidery by alluding to conceptual associations of tradition and nostalgia. The aim of this project is to promote embroidery as a diverse medium; its use as a means of narrative, a valued skill that spans both art and craft disciplines, and to lift the status of craft by encouraging discourse of craft practice within an academic environment.

Cluckie, Linda. "Embroidery, business enterprise and philanthropic ventures in nineteenth century Britain." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2006. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/3199/.
Full textAbstract:
In the nineteenth century a new form of needlework 'Art Embroidery' fuelled entrepreneurial ventures. The significance of these ventures will be explored and the contribution made by women employed in this industry, investigating their prevalent working practices and relating this to our understanding of gender history. The embroidery ventures stimulated the commercial side of embroidery in the late nineteenth century, mobilising commercial activity through numerous agencies, department stores, depots and charitable institutions. Embroidery took on the form of a major commercial enterprise, and in examining these important developments, the thesis will evaluate the organisational structure of these enterprises, their marketing techniques and their relationship to their predominantly female workforce. The theme of business enterprise is the conduit which runs throughout, yet it is not intended as an economic history, rather business history as social history. The growth and development of 'Art Embroidery' in Britain circa 1870-1890 will be explored giving special consideration to the support received from the art establishment in designing for and educating embroiderers. The art fraternity promoted embroidery as a commodity providing income for women. Finally the thesis will examine the decline of the embroidery business in the British Isles, as work was sent overseas where labour was cheaper. The thesis will make a valuable contribution to our understanding of the embroidery business, the dynamics shaping its development and the role of women employed in the industry. In particular the thesis will reveal the economic significance of the embroidery business to female employment in the nineteenth century, which has been hidden from view, mainly due to employing outworkers, a hidden workforce. Though a social history, the thesis will demonstrate this hidden workforce made a contribution to the British economy.

Giannetto, Claudia. "Performing shifting identities : Mayan embroidery, migration and tourism in the Eastern Yucatán." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2018. http://research.gold.ac.uk/24801/.
Full textAbstract:
Based on 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in a Mayan community of the Eastern Yucatán, this thesis explores the intersection of gender, culture and globalization processes as reflected in embroidery production and trade in this area of the Mexican Republic. Taking gender as a central axis of identity and agency and as a structuring feature of social processes, I specifically discuss the impact of tourism and development programs on embroidery’s related practices and, most importantly, on gender identities. Drawing from the experiences of twenty-five Mayan women associated with a state-funded cooperative, I explore direct and indirect impacts of paid work in women’s lives and status, situating their productive experiences within particular configurations of kinship and community. In order to illuminate the relation between female involvement in embroidery production, men’s migration, and household, I assess the extent to which the incorporation in cooperative is associated with particular demographic and social patterns, and how these patterns shape the outcomes of women’s participation in the labour force. Integral to this analysis is the exploration of the attitudes of women towards their jobs as embroiderers and cooperative members, considerations of the dimension of gender embodied in embroidery production and trade, and the degree to which the very nature of this activity contributes to continuity or change in prevailing gender ideologies. My aim is to understand whether or not the participation in cooperative is facilitating the emergence of a (new) labour identity for Mayan women, and whether this process is engendering any form of empowerment (economic, psychological and/or social) for the embroiderers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates embroidery / textile art in Ireland from the 1960s to the present day. It does so by drawing on the knowledge and experience of practitioners, educators and related professionals as a source of primary data, collected through interviews. The thesis questions how textile art emerged in Ireland, what structures and influences shaped its development and in what ways it is still relevant. It also questions if textile art in Ireland reflects specific cultural and regional identities and examines the relationship between contemporary textile art and the continuum of textile history. The project interrogates issues such as art and craft; specialist and generic skills; regional identity; ways of being a practitioner; circumstances of making; placement and curatorship of work and the role that textile practices play in society. The inclusivity of the project is broad, encompassing amateur and professional practices, the use of textiles in art, textiles as an art practice and textile arts and crafts in the community. The focus is on embroidery / stitched textiles although textile work using other materials and processes is included where relevant. The project is based on a Social Constructivist paradigm, with the artists and makers as active participants in the research. Their voices fashion the emerging themes; which are understood in relation to substantive and formal theories from interdisciplinary research areas such as women's studies, material studies and new craft theory. The research contributes to knowledge by constructing a contextual analysis for the understanding of textile arts in Ireland. This can be used to develop contemporary models for the transference of knowledge and skills, and to explore the possibilities of textile arts in society and art in a textile culture. It establishes a body of knowledge that can be used as an entry point and resource for future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis arose from a need for a re-evaluation of opus Anglicanum, a somewhat discounted art form which was nevertheless central to the cultural output of medieval England. It is concerned with looking closely at a couple of important aspects. First, the available evidence is considered, with a view to exploring whether long-held assumptions about the subject can actually be substantiated; second, a detailed study of iconography is made, in an attempt to find an explanation for particular choices. Among the extant English medieval ecclesiastical embroideries the great copes, covering the period from c1270 to c1330, offer the most fruitful opportunities for study. Thus, the focus is on these for general concerns and for more particular issues four "narrative" copes have been examined in detail. Early assessment of the gamut of imagery disclosed certain striking features--the individuality and doctrinal exactitude of the various iconographic programmes, the singular absence of some central theological themes and the ubiquitous nature of the angelic presence among the representations--which indicated lines of enquiry and determined the parameters of study. In the course of laying out the evidence such primary sources as there are, are reviewed and assumptions regarding possible workshop practices and issues of patronage are examined. On the technical side, the manufacture of these precious embroideries is explored and the vexed question of who was responsible for the designs is considered. The findings reveal that, contrary to widely held opinion, the luxury copes were liturgical vestments, with a crucial role to play both within the service and the meaning of the High Mass itself The cherished belief that the twenty processional vestments which are known today represent a mere fraction of the original output is challenged and a diametrically opposed view is put forward - that what there is, is the greatest part of what there was.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper I investigate the emotional benefits of textile crafts in general and embroidery in particular. How can embroidery be used to express love and care for others? Can embroidery be used as a therapeutic tool? Using my own embroidery project Flower heart as a starting point, my research goes into craft as a manifestation of love, from handmade gifts in the 18th century to contemporary art, and crafting as a therapeutic medium, from rehabilitation of soldiers after WW1, to a recent study on 92 Finnish craft makers. My material is based on research on (textile) craft, research on occupational therapy, interviews with contemporary embroidery artists Michelle Kingdom, Alexandra Drenth and Willemien de Villiers, as well as my own experiences with the project Flower heart. My conclusions are that there are many emotional benefits to textile crafts. Our crafts can comfort us from sorrow, help us deal with pain, both physical and mental, make us connect to one another, provide meaning to our lives, anchor us in the present and live on long after we are gone as a manifestation of our lives and our love.

This paper describes my work with a historical craft and my attempt to find new ways to look at it, work with it and present it. I use the embroidery technique Hardangersaum which is all white, and where selected threads of the woven fabric grid are removed while others are wrapped and embellished. The artistic research leans heavily on the traditional craft but tries to isolate it from its historical baggage. I turn my focus to the grid of the fabric and I present some viewpoints from Rosalind Krauss and Hannah B. Higgins. I describe questions of scale and presentation that have emerged and show how digital animation has played a major role in the development and the communication of the embroidery work.

Farrand, Nicole. "work | space (the laborer revealed)." VCU Scholars Compass, 2013. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/2990.
Full textAbstract:
There is always a moment, within the act of work, when the decision comes into question; the mind is aware of the goal, seeking out the destination, but the body brings the reality of the task to light, at first whispering its doubts, then speaking in full volume. The physical intensity of the creation of my work enlivens this debate between the consciousness of my intellect and the limitations of my being. The act of defining myself as an artist serves as a challenge to my body’s capabilities as a maker. Through this relationship with my work, I have become deeply intimate with the term labor. My thesis aims to contextualize my engagement with labor within the universal understanding that human beings possess an inherent need to work. While the interchangeable use of terms such as work and labor is highly disputed, I have found that my role as artist, actions as maker, and identity as worker persuade me to define my work as labor and my labors as work. This subsequent body of work serves as a record of the actions of the laborer. A floor sits; frozen in the process of installation, it awaits the return of the laborer to complete the work. Through the cyclical conversation between the workers’ voices embroidered upon the wall and the work being performed on the floor, the installation serves as the preserved space of the anonymous laborer.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of technology in the textile industry reached the design of embroidery patterns for machine embroidery. In order to create quality designs the shapes to be embroidered need to be segmented into regions that define different parts. One of the objectives of our research is to develop a method to automatically segment the shapes and by doing so making the process faster and easier. Shape analysis is necessary to find a suitable method for this purpose. It includes the study of different ways to represent shapes. In this thesis we focus on shape representation through its skeleton. We make use of a shape's skeleton and the shape's boundary through the so-called feature transform to decide how to segment a shape and where to place the segment boundaries. The direction of stitches is another important specification in an embroidery design. We develop a technique to select the stitch orientation by defining direction lines using the skeleton curves and information from the boundary. We compute the intersections of segment boundaries and direction lines with the shape boundary for the final definition of the direction line segments. We demonstrate that our shape segmentation technique and the automatic placement of direction lines produce sufficient constrains for automated embroidery designs. We show examples for lettering, basic shapes, as well as simple and complex logos.

Full textAbstract:
I use found botanical material such as leaves, seedpods, and branches to explore human connection to the physical world. By combining these organic objects with the rich traditions of needlecraft, I bind nature and the human touch. Both tender and ruthless, this intricate stitch work communicates the idea that our relationship with the natural world is both tenuously fragile and infinitely complex.
The way I think about and make art mirrors the way I think about my life and how I walk through the world. What I do is about elevating details. It is about noticing cycles and connections. It is about regarding a familiar object in a new way. It’s about seeing things and considering their connection to you, their potential futures and possible pasts. There is a depth and an importance to what is present, and what is absent. Invisible narratives are woven into and around each piece, each interaction. As I gather materials with which to work, I consider what connections might exist between us, or how each object might be related to another. I am a cartographer, drawing and plotting an imaginary map, from one object to the next, intervening with each. These objects naturally fit into categories, which relate to my own experiences, but also to their origins and how they came into my hands. The vertices of experience and the actual life trajectory of an object are what interest me the most; the points at which the object and I intersect.

Full textAbstract:
This exegesis situates and explores my contemporary art practice that aims to address global ecological and social issues through the mediums of ‘women’s work’ and digital technologies. As used here, ‘women’s work’ refers to all needlework techniques and myriad other textile techniques (m)aligned with females, including but not limited to, embroidery, knitting, crochet, and binding. At the heart of the project is a sustained exploration of these mediums’ inherent materiality beyond their obvious aesthetic attributes. This is inextricably entwined with the processes of ‘women’s work’, the device of metaphor, and the body as both tool and subject.
The exegesis examines the position of textiles, particularly embroidery, in a contemporary context. It reflects on the process, meanings and potential strength contained in the textile traditions and processes that are used in this project, being aware of textile tropes and the potential for making meaning through their disruption. By merging the history, materiality and sensuality of textiles with the advances of digital technology, this research and its creative outputs offer a much richer language for self-expression and contemplation. Notions of impermanence, contingency and the fragility of our natural environment are validly addressed by using mediums that are similarly framed. Thus, metaphors of interconnecting threads—weaving, embroidery, knitting, binding—are applied across the studio practice. Digital mediums function as lines of communication, which are woven together like threads to connect the subject and viewers. The research determines that representation and engagement can be influenced profoundly through synergy with the embedded materiality of the chosen mediums.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the stigmatization of female body hair by Western media. It has constructed female hair removal on screen as taboo, while perpetuating the association of femininity with hairlessness. Through personal interviews, digital design and embroidery, my two projects, Delicate & Unshaven and Women of the Hair Belt, emphasize that female body hair is natural and, moreover, feminine and beautiful.

“Culture Inheritance” is a vital issue for modern aborigines. What should we do to get closer to tradition? What’s the real tradition? The word “Tradition” seems to have a standard answer, a certain image and is even unchangeable. These questions springs up after the author found some clues in life. The clues lie in tribal costumes, rituals and people. The activities and clothing that we are accustomed to and recognized as tradition actually went through the process of innovation and changes as well. However, when people are living at the moment, its existence seems merely reasonable. The author traces back to real stories in history, using modern symbols and the so-called traditional materials of Puyuma tribe such as clothing, embroidery skills, rituals and activities as well as the spirit to blend the past and the modern, to mix the tangible and the intangible by alternating the materials, to change the sizes and forms, aiming to bring an ambiguous feeling through the vision of work, triggering viewers’ introspection towards the definition of tradition

Full textAbstract:
Embroidery is a traditional non-photorealistic art form in which threads of different colours stitched into a base material are used to create an image. This thesis presents techniques for automatically producing embroidery layouts from line drawings and for rendering those layouts in real time on potentially deformable 3D objects with hardware acceleration. Layout of stitches is based on automatic extraction of contours from line drawings followed by a set of stitch-placement procedures based on traditional embroidery techniques. Rendering first captures the lighting environment on the surface of the target object and renders it as an image in texture space. Stitches are rendered in this space using a lighting model suitable for threads at a resolution that avoids geometric and highlight aliasing. It is also possible to render stitches in layers to capture the 2.5D nature of embroidery. A filtered texture pyramid is constructed from the resulting texture and applied to the 3D object. Aliasing of fine stitch structure and highlights is avoided by this process. The result is a realistic embroidered image that properly responds to lighting.

The consumption pattern has been transformed from material to spiritual consumption. The trend of commodity development is moving towards sophistication and individuation, which lead to the formation of the customization model to meet the consumers’ needs. The market for customized goods evolves with the Internet and lowering prices bring in new business opportunities. With consumers demanding quality, the sophistication of embroideries meets the consumers’ demands. Hence, this study focuses on investigating the sensation of clothing embroideries, aiming to summarize the sensation of hand embroideries and machine embroideries on clothing fabric. This study analyzed the information from references to produce the samples. The samples were embroideries that were produced by two different methods, hand and machine, on five different types of fabrics （cotton, hemp, silk, wool and rayon）. At the same time, the adjectives collected were reduced and divided into 15 groups of question items. The samples were matched with the Semantic Differential Scale and the sensation were downsized with factor analysis method to consolidate the related sensation. Finally, the overall data was analyzed to summarize the overall sensation of embroideries manufactured in two different ways. The study results showed that the sensation of hand embroideries and machine embroideries on clothing fabric are similar. The senses of touch and visual are both charming, warm, bright, etc. However, the results of part of the questions showed differences. For the overall sensation of embroideries, the sensation of hand embroideries is consistent with the that of machine embroideries.

Chinese embroidery is a traditional handicraft, which has a long history. By using a needle, thread or yarn is sewn on to a base material or fabric to create a pattern. Today, embroidery continues to be a popular handicraft especially in life and artistic decoration. But this art form has not drawn enough attention in computer graphics field. In this thesis, we propose a method to synthesize embroidery. We first extract the region we want to embroider by image processing technology. Then, we build a 3D stitch model. Next, we design three stitching styles and put the stitches in the regions. Finally, we render the result by physically-based rendering technology. The results have realistic visual effect.

Most of foreign embroidery software have the function of previewing results without actually being embroidered, saving the time for designing and modifying embroidery. However, the embroidery software of Zeng Hsing Industrial Co., Ltd does not has this function. Therefore, an industrial-academic cooperation project is executed to develop the embroidery 3D simulation function. In order to achieve the above goal, various angles, long and short line segments models are manually established. The RGB colors of lines corresponding to the HSL color value, is manually established. Then, the artificial neural network (ANN) is used to learn the transformation of RGB to HSL. In the experimental study, 100 embroidery files are used for evaluating the proposed technique. The 3D simulation results are compared with the results of the Swiss BERNINA software through visual inspection. The results show that the proposed technique can achieve the expected goal.

Owing to its location, Taiwan possesses of special races and rich history which both promote the development of traditional folk embroidery. Focusing on religious embroidery of temples in Tainan, the researcher investigates the subjects, forms, patterns, stitching styles, material adoption and applications of embroidery. The research shows that from the periods of Ching occupation, Japanese occupation to 1970s, reflecting on different social and cultural backgrounds, traditional folk embroidery in Tainan including its forms, patterns, stitching styles and material adoptions and applications varies and developed a diversity of appearances and characteristics. By field study and historical data collecting, the researcher aims to probe the origin and the development of traditional folk embroidery in Tainan. By in-depth interview and participant observation the research interviews embroidery technicians which helps to build the data of embroidery artistry. Further, the data of the historical embroidery relics enables the researcher to perceive how the evolution of stitching styles and material applications in accordance with different social backgrounds affects the embroidery styles. According to the findings, the development of the traditional folk embroidery in Tainan can be divided into five stages. At the first stage, the immigration age of Ching occupantion period, the embroidery style is subject to the implementing principles of contemporary religious rituals, and the subject matters often embody the elements of mythological legends and dramas. At the second stage, the stagnant age of Japanese occupantion period, being subject to religious beliefs and affected by Occidentalizing Japan, embroidery forms inherited the embroidery in Ching dynasty that tends to simplify the patterns of embroidery and to add new embroidery materials. At the third stage, the inheriting age of Taiwan restoring period, traditional embroidery artistry proceeded into the inheriting age. During this period of time, the inheriting tradition between masters and apprentices became the mainstream in Tainan City which follows the Ming embroidery style and local embroidery style. At the forth stage, 1960s to 1970s embroidery thriving age, during this period of time, people underwent steady regime and economy and were entailed with freedom of religious beliefs which boost the embroidery manufacturing. In addition, plastic materials are applied at this stage that tremendously affects stitching procedures and styles. At the final stage,after 1970s the age of machining embroidery, the more complex patterns and the more colorful the embroidery are, the more they are appealing to the market. The patterns and subjects of religious embroidery represent the symbols of religious rituals. Those symbols not only embody the auspicious meanings but manifest the cultural symbolic system which works to ward off evils. This system is originated from people’s beliefs of the operation of the world which reflects the concepts of five agents system and the system of God and evil beliefs. With the symbolic meanings of embroidery forms and patterns, people are able to interpret the ethos and their traditional views of the world.

The Fashion industry contains a wide range of fields, inclusive of design, pattern making, manufacturing, and marketing. Each of them is worth tons of in-depth researches to explore and extract its essences. This thesis basically probes into manufacturing field and especially focuses on subfields such as garment processing and craftsmanship, and how to apply both to fashion design. By integrating Taiwanese traditional embroidery arts and techniques with modern fashion design, the author aims to conserve cultural legacy and apply it to re-creation in order to enhance added value of fashion design. This thesis uses qualitative research methods. It is divided into three main stages: the heritage, the trial-and-error experiment, and the fashion design to plan theoretical verifications and executions. Firstly, the heritage illustrates the fact that the author was headed back to his hometown, Tainan, to sit at the feet of Yu Chung Lin, a master of embroidery arts who ran The Kuang-Tsai embroidery. Though practical training of embroidery skills, the author learned the essences of traditional embroidery arts and laid the foundations of his creations. Then, the trial-and-error experiment is about integrating traditional embroidery techniques with modern aesthetics to create serial embroidery works. Lastly, as the conclusion of previous two stages, the fashion design is based on The Three Concepts of Artistry: Image, Shape, and Color. The author adopts traditional patterns, insists practicing traditional moulding skills, and switches from colorfulness to monochrome to concretize his own imagination of modern embroidery. He put efforts in using his works as a medium to recreate embroidery arts of Taiwan temple and local craftsmanship in a fashionable light.

In the industry of embroidery machine the tendency is to manufacture and design of the hardware, however fewer software services are provided. So it is necessary to enhancing industrial competitiveness in this aspect. Smartphone is already an indispensable part in human's life. With the convenience of application development and diverse integrate hardware, it is suitable for communication tool between consumer and embroidery machine. In this thesis, a system based on Android which transmits embroidery command is developed to provide consumer a platform for download embroidery image. Consumer can build their own stitch file as embroidery command. We choose Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) for the data transmitting in our system and design a flow process of transmit. An open source library Zxing is used to decode the QR code. With the consumer usage mode, we analysis the rank of the image download by calculating statistics to increase the download rate of the images which are stored on the server. The implementation and result will be presented in the thesis.

Leaving away from the home where the parents are and all which the childhood symbolizes, you will realize self and “the home” has the distance. Although you are well acquainted with the home from your memory, by the transformation of space and time which cut off away from it, nearly is filled with memory. Even tough, the connection to the home is actually never changed, the missing to the home is also never terminated. This essay begins with an oversized attire, inward the self-exploration. At first, through the experiment of the sound , the body language inquisition, dig the deep of self-disposition, then spread out regarding the observation of the disposition. Furthermore, it turn to discusses the relationship between the home and self. Along the memory, through the attempt of various types of materials, and finally via the characteristic of the fabric interweaving which rephrased the dependence of the home. It's like a projection of self, the emotion transmission though the textile weaves from the manual knitting evolution to the entire formation machinery. Utilizes each kind of knitting characteristics to narrate the emotion transformation process, and describe obscurely the dependence of "home".

In this thesis, I plan to investigate the role of the landscape in Thomas Southerne's play Oroonoko. Most scholarship on Oroonoko focuses on the relationship between Southerthne's play and Aphra Behn's novella of the same name. In particular, the scholarly conversation has focused on the way that Southerne white-washed Aphra Behn's character Imoininda. While this distinction is notable, my research, instead, will focus on the way these bodies—both white and black, colonizer and colonized—are framed by 18th century gardening rhetoric. This rhetoric provided naturally conceived tools for nurturing these bodies. I plan to argue that the language of the natural world used in the play demonstrates the role of landscape in the formation of British national identity.McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts;

This research aims at facilitating the process of machine embroidery and enhancing its possibilities of creativity, applicability and innovation. To put the discussion into Taiwan historical and cultural context, an interview with machine embroidery experts has been conducted to learn more about the history and development of machine embroidery. The investigation proceeds by first deconstructing traditional embroidery stitching and patterns with the help of coordinates of machine embroidery. Following, the systemic position of stitches and the direction of movement on the coordinates allows for expanding the shape and transition of stitch contours enabling the researcher to explain the logic underlying the arrangement of stitches and patterns translating it into a systematic approach to machine embroidery. Finally, the reliability of the new systemic approach has been tested and verified using a variety of patterns. Moreover, the new systemic approach allows for greater creativity, applicability and innovative design ideas in line with modern trends of fashion. The limitation of this research is its focus on machine embroidery only. To transfer the systematic design from machine embroidery to the computer-aided design system is still a task for the future research.
