Currently trying to figure out what African clothing patterns mean but I'm not getting straight answers.

Any time I try to Google a specific tribe (khoe in this case) I'm met with articles I need to sign in to (hell no) and no straight answers in Google images Because it's all generic African patterns.

Help?

#africa #African patterns #Google is not helping #for context im trying to make an oc #....#okay that still sounds wierd #basically I'm making a race of clothing creatures created by human practices or belief #since africans have been passing down history via mouth since forever #im making this one the embodiment of history #however i am unable to make a clothing creature if i don't know what the clothes look like

Floral-patterned Grand Super-Wax fabric by Vlisco

'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...

...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.

First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.

One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'

Of all the parrots I made only these three are left. I know plum-headed parakeets are not that common but I'm sure there is someone out there who'd love to have these. Same goes for the Timneh African grey. Uncommon parrot owners unite!

Aesthetics of Funk - Crocheted mandalas by Xenobia Bailey

Xenobia Bailey is a trash alchemist, a single stitch, urban crochet aficionado, designer, artist and community activist, whose practice industrializes the visual aesthetic of “Cosmic-Funk,” practiced by African-American homemakers since Emancipation, into utilitarian “Funktional” design. Media exposure ranges from an Absolut advertisement to a design consultancy with Disney World, and a subway mosaic commission from the MTA in New York. She has shown internationally, with such institutions as Creative Time, the Sharjah Art Foundation, and numerous U.S. Embassies. Her work is held by numerous museums, as well as in academic, corporate, public and private collections.
