The men would design the pattern, make the board patterns and loom to create it, and provided the goat hides for wool. The women’s roles were to gather the materials such as cedar bark, prepare the yarn for weaving, and weave the blanket. The idea of Chilkat blankets was adopted from the village of Chilkat Tlingit, where the most amazing weavers were located. It was the European traders that gave the blankets their name in the late 19th century.1 The blankets had been traded all along the Northwest Coast, which was how the Kwakiutl tribe came across its intricate design. Chilkat blankets have such detailed design, with which the women of the Kwakiutl culture had to do precise weaving and make specific dyes to color the wool that was used in the blankets.
The thread type most used is the six strand mercerized cotton embroidery floss. It is made from loosely twisted strands of cotton which would be split up into different weights, from one to six strands for different weights of fabric. These cottons are generally sold in skeins that are approximately nine yards long. The recommended, manageable length for stitching is around the eighteen inch mark. The thread colors are available from different manufacturers who have their own color ranges, e.g., DMC embroidery floss.
Production Methodology: For the doll production process, please see Appendix A. As you can see from Appendix A, the major raw materials are vinyl, resin, wool, and other fiber. Doll bodies for the specialty-branded line were produced to the same specifications as the standard Geoffrey doll in terms of shape and size. However, the pajama outfit of this line was different from the standard Geoffrey doll. Thus, more specialized material cuts and hand assembly were required.
Akan Culture: The Symbolism Behind the Adinkra Cloth The Adinkra cloth was created in Ghana, West Africa, by the Akan people. This consists of a cloth printed or stamped with black dye made from the bark of Badie tree, using stamps carved from sections of calabash. For decades, the Adinkra cloth was known to be worn only as a mourning cloth during times of grief, but today it is worn during every occasion. The Akan people are known primarily for two types of cloth production: printed Adinkra and woven Kente cloth (Ventura 1). The practice of creating Adinkra cloth teaches about the West African Akan culture and values in the form of the symbols on the cloth which represent them.
The correct costume history term for the attached collar or small extension that falls over the shoulders is called cape. However, as the small cape developed into two and even three layers which often reached the waist, the word cape became used in an interchangeable way. Early cloaks were very simple in cut. They could and still can be easily achieved by cutting a circle or near circle of fabric with a hole for the head - these were the sort that doubled as a blanket. The cloak used to prevent Queen Elizabeth 1st wetting her feet was more of a decorative flourishing fashion appendage.
Using one of the cotton buds, swab an area of the tap that is most commonly used (e.g. the handle) 5. Then with the infested cotton bud swab over the agar dish in quadrants, using a clean cotton bud for each quadrant. 6. Immediately
Cone experiment Aim: -The aim of this experiment is to find the velocity of a falling paper cone. To find the velocity you will need to find the time taken for the cone to fall, the set distances and the relationship these two factors. The rubber band was patented in England on March 17, 1845 by Stephen Perry. The majority of rubber bands are made from natural rubber, which is extracted from the latex of the rubber tree, due to its superior elasticity. Apparatus: - A4 paper - Scissors - Meter tape - Chronometer - Scotch tape Variables: Dependent variables: - Height from which the cone id released - Independent variables: - Time taken by the cone to fall - Constant variables: - Weight of the cone - Area of the cone - Wind in the room Method Step 1: take out the A4 paper, scissors and scotch tape.
The process is repeated until the surface of the water is covered with concentric rings. The floating colors are then carefully manipulated either by blowing on them directly or through a straw, fanning the colors, or carefully using a human hair to stir the colors. In the 19th century, the Kyoto master Tokutaro Yagi developed a method for using a split piece of bamboo to gently stir the colors, resulting in concentric spiral designs. Finally, a sheet of washi paper is carefully laid onto the water surface to capture the floating design. The paper, which is often made of kozo ( Paper Mulberry or Broussonetia papyrifera ), must be unsized , and strong enough to withstand being immersed in water without tearing.
Several different forms include: masks, soapstone carvings, walking canes, ebony carvings, jewelry, musical instruments, and music. Masks are a very big part of African tribes’ culture and religion.

The masks were typically made of wood, bronze, brass, copper, and ivory, and decorated using, colored beads, bone, animal skins and vegetable fibers. Soapstone carvings are usually found and made in Kenya.
If you don't want two colors to appear next to each other, then you will need to use three different colors of paper. You will need 6,6, and 8 of each color. Step 2 Make a triangular template. Make a triangular template out of a circle of the same size as the other circles you cut out. Fold this circle in half verticallyand horizontally to make a cross shape.
