1 - Welcome to #ThreadTalk! Get ready for #fashionhistory – it’s been a while, but I'm back.

Today’s topic is All That Glitters – we’re talking about fashioning fabric with gold and metal, but especially real gold.

Below, 1610-1620 - Dress of Electress Magdalena Syblla of Saxony.
From State Art Collection - Dresden - The golden yellow and salmon-red ceremonial dress with gold and silver lace follows the shape, nuanced colors and sophisticated decorative details of Italian women's fashion around 1590-1620. The tight-fitting, slightly protruding, pointed bodice is trimmed in dense rows with narrow gold and silver lace. It is closed at the front with concealed hooks and eyes. The skirt is buttoned to the bodice using numerous gold and silver trimming buttons. The slightly stiffened bodice embodies an early form of the so-called snail waist, which was to be a defining feature of women's fashion in the 17th century. The skirt - an overskirt - is open at the front and is effectively trimmed in several circumferential panels with wide and medium-wide gold and silver lace, into which drop-shaped silver sequins are worked. A second, representative skirt was effectively visible through the front slit and the long skirt slits, which were held together with ribbon roses (not known). The graceful star-shaped shoulder decoration is borrowed from the bridal and formal wear of noble Venetian women. The jagged tips flash with bright red silk pompoms. The tight-fitting salmon-red sleeves are fastened at the wrist with buttons. They are completely embroidered with scales and stars. The golden yellow wing sleeves above are decorated with lace and many small trimmings made of gold and silver thread. The accessories of the dress can be imagined as a high, fine white lace collar, lace cuffs of the same kind, and rich gold and pearl jewelry. The queens and princesses of the English and Danish royal families, as well as Maria de' Medici, Duchess of Florence and Queen of France, were particularly pioneers of the fashion represented by the dress shown. No other original examples have survived in this completeness and condition.

Oh god,

I was just driving by our city cemetery in Bucha, and I saw this.

The loved ones of this fallen soldier installed a small Christmas tree with electric lights by his grave.

God I hate this war, it is just physically painful to see such sad things.

I've been in New Mexico watching sandhill cranes and snow geese since Saturday. I have many more photos to share, but these four capture much of the essence of the week.

#birds
Photo of a giant pond full of sandhill cranes at sunset. A few cranes are flying in, while most have already landed in the pond. There's a grey cloud in the sky, and everything is silhouetted by the remaining light from the sun. Photograph of a sandhill crane about to land. The bird is huge, and has its wings spread wide to help slow itself down. Two other cranes are off to the left, watching the one landing. All are bathed in golden light from sunrise. Photograph of a single sandhill crane taking off. Its wings are down, and its feet are trailing freezing cold water as they just left the water. The bird is in the golden light of sunrise, but the water is nice and blue. Photograph of huge numbers of snow geese and sandhill cranes taking off over top of even more sandhill cranes. The cranes still on the ground are standing in seemingly orderly rows, almost like soldiers. An absolute horde of birds fills the frame above them.
