OMG MaryEllen, what a fabulous video, I didn't want it to end!!!!! I see Jennifer's comment and now I must race to the dollar store myself to find these, but I just got home so will have to be on the weekend (storm coming). I have no shortage of fabric and though I knew about these rugs, I kept in mind that I do have a lot of fabric. But nothing is going to stop me now!!!! I truly enjoyed your video, the information, the reasoning and the total insanity of all of it and I am in love love love with your textilethursday idea. I have been wanting to do a dissecting garments series and perhaps I could use your hashtag as a way to be a part of your collaboration, would that work? More please!!!!
YOU ARE A TEXTILE BIRB TOO!! of COURSE you can use the hashtag!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕 if you dissemble a chindi there will be dust and the odd piece that has very runny dye. It could be the entire next weeks video. 😁💕💕
Wow MaryellenThank you so much for the lesson in chindi rugs It was fabulous I bought 1 from the Dollarama it was a thin one But I did get some beautiful pieces, Now after watching this I am more informed . I am thrilled that Kim Newburg mentioned you She is a wealth of knowledge . Now I am going to check out the rest of your videos.
Hello and welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Well done getting a carpet! They seem in short supply at the moment! Hope you enjoy the videos. I don’t know what I am doing most of the time. 😁 I have playlists to help sort things. There is a dephemerember episode (day 7 I think) where things go temporarily sideways. It is clear I do not take myself seriously 😁😁😁😁😁.
Hello and welcome! It’s so nice to have you here! I am more or less new to junk journalling as well. I hope being here will make your journaling fun and relaxing and interesting. 😁 I am here to set the bar low so we all feel confident about whatever we do. 😊💕😊💕😊💕😊
Fabulous video thank you,new subbie from the UK,you have come to me through listening to Kim,! Love chindis but please take care choosing as one I had when undone was all Disney fabric!!bless you for sharing xx
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for the information on the chindi deconstruction. That’s very helpful to accumulate knowledge to share! It’s lovely to have you here. Thank you for subscribing! 💕
I came over from Kim's channel to see this wonderful project you are working on. I am also a textile and paper person but have never woven. I do sew, quilt, knit, crochet, bead, do all types of paper crafts, etc. I'm going to have to go and see if our Dollar Trees in Florida carry these rugs, you have me very curious now. Can't wait to see what you do next. Vicky
Hello and welcome! Ah you are a maker after my own heart and another Textile Birb! 💕💕💕😁. I have a theory that textiles and junk journalling has a LOT of overlap … far more than one imagines. I am curious to know if dollar tree carries them too. Do update if you can! I would love to see if there are variations in the make process.
Okay, I'm so ridiculously excited about chindi rugs now!! Which dollar store did you find these at? I'm not even going to wait for your answer, I'm totally leaving my house when I finish this comment to hit alll my dollaramas and great canadians. Sounds like you and I are birds of a feather (see what I did there, RedParrot? LOL). My 2 favourite crafts are papercrafting and textiles/fibres. And I'm super curious about how things work and how they're made too, not just in art, but also science. Thank you for the awesome video, I learned a lot! I do a lot of fibre/textile crafts, but weaving isn't one of them (yet), so your info was super interesting. I may jump on board #textilethursday someday, but not until I move and get to unpack my whole stash.
I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE A BIRD LIKE ME! Dollarama. I checked Walmart today and no luck. YOU HAVE TO PLAY TEXTILE THURSDAY OMG!!!! Yessssss ! I have spent the morning taking apart the two rugs and washing them. Some notes … dusty as in dust bowl after a season of dust storms … not just a light hint of dust. This dustiness makes total sense for the manufacturing process. Also. I have hit (only) two bits of massive dye bleed. One was a green and the other a red. I do NOT need another rug but I think the holy grail of deconstruction would be a plump rug made with highly decorative fabric. I have a thin decorative and the plump rug is a lot of plain fabric. You must tell me how you get on. 💕💕💕
@@imagesbykim hahaha you’re lucky it’s currently freezing rain, that’s all I’m saying. 😂 You watch, your one dollarama in Sussex will have them while none of the dozen dollaramas in my area will. 😂
@@redparrot9489 more helpful info, thank you! I’m confident the rugs will arrive in my dollaramas soon, fingers crossed. And I can’t wait to be all moved and unpacked so I can attempt a #textilethursday! My first might just be a show and tell of how I set all my fabrics up in my new craft room. I have a pretty extensive fabric stash. 😂. I can’t wait into I have enough room to display it all!
...look what the cat dragged in...hehe..... I bounced over here because Laura @HalfAssCrafter mentioned you and this vid as she dismantled her own chindi rug.... I'm itching to do this AGAIN... but goodness at the fabric that it produces!!!!!!
Well! I think I ought to check out @halfasscrafter since both you and Cindy speak so highly of her. 🥰💕🥰. Weirdly, my last trip to the dollar store included the chindi rug aisle. Nothing suitable. Why I think I need one is beyond me. I have three rugs of fabric. I. Need. To. Weave. 🤣🤣🤣. Or … maybe twist / spin cording and do a coiled bowl …
sooooo........whack-a-doodle it may be .... BUT --- as I was watching Lauras vid -- I was pondering a bit on how I could take it apart and make another rug out of it... I learned a rag rug technique about a year ago - created a rug or two but, as we crafters do, set it aside and found paper to play with.... SO ---- while it may be whack-a doodle, I'm thinking I may want to do this........ Funny I was thinking it and then watched you talk about it. I'm here for the whack-a-doodle!!
Oooo! Who doesn’t love company down the rabbit hole?! 😁😁😁💕💕💕 being a maker is such a radical activity because suddenly we know we can take things apart and put them together again to totally suit ourselves. 😇😇😇
😊 textile Thursday might not be all thrift and I will do my best to make something fun and useful related to textiles 💕💕💕 I also want to do some slow stitching … maybe on sundays. Still trying to work that out. 💕
Loved the video however please note that while $5 dollars is not a lot for Canadians or Americans it a lot money in India, it’s 415.25Rs. Indians *will* take exception to saying this is very little money as it’s being judge by western standards and can be considered extremely offensive. To westerners those are “scraps” however they are not treated as such in India and are generally part of a much larger process and are sold by weight. Also, Indians are highly industrious and creative and “scraps” are used in a variety of ways as nothing is ever thrown out. India recycles more than any other country in the world and has been for over 5 millennia, before _recycling_ was “cool”. A good anthropologists will caution people not to judge cultures by their own standards, it’s imperative that cultures are understood within the confines of its own culture.
Hi! New sub from Kim’s channel. Great video, i remember when all the junk journalers where out buying those rugs. I have a few in my home already, they are so tactile(?) im looking forward to catching up on more of your videos!
Hello and welcome! Thank you for subscribing. 😊💕 I can only imagine the initial wave of chindi excitement. It comes through in the videos I have watched - almost all from about a year or so ago. The rugs are so interesting and lots of textile variation. The idea might have petered out because of the effort required to undo, wash and neatly store. I have undone two now and I have much to report on this coming Thursday. 💕💕💕
Kim was right--this was SO interesting!! I tried taking apart a chindi type rug a couple of years ago but the material was VERY unsatisfying. Much of it was very heavy like hoodie material. As you said, not all chindi are created equal. I'll try again. I don't understand the gnome thing either. Just say no to gnomes. :D
Hello and welcome! It’s so nice to have you here. 💕 what a BUMMER experience to have hoodie material as the chindi weft material! As soon as I bought the second rug, I realized the level of variation that exists. Hoodie fleece is the third kind. It is well worth purchasing these “live” so one can inspect the make up of the material. I laughed out loud at just say no to gnomes. 💕💕💕🤣💕💕💕 Thank you for watching. 💕
Hi, I came over from Kim's channel to take a look at this "new to me" way of getting fabric for our projects. I do have a couple questions: first, what and how do you wash the material, in the washing machine or hand wash, and what detergent do you use? Secondly, can you use vintage rugs for this? I think I've seen some of the rugs and my old homeplace, could I use these, or would you recommend new ones. Oh, and my purpose would be to use in junk journaling. TIA.
Hello and welcome! Yes - that’s the expression - new to me! New to me too! You ask EXCELLENT questions! Would you mind if I answered these in this next textile Thursday? I think they are worth discussing with some time and detail. Let me know if you would prefer the answers in the comments. Thank you so much for your interest 💕💕💕💕💕
@@redparrot9489 Yes, that will be fine, I can wait. In the meantime, I'd like more information on how to use the Easter egg dye to color papers? Do you have a video for that? I'm loving your videos!
@@margarettaylor3033 I don’t have an Easter egg video and let’s say you are really helping the episode curation! 😊💕😊 I will put it on the list for soon. These egg dye things go out of season quickly! 💕💕💕
@@redparrot9489 Sounds good, glad to be of help! As soon as I see them, will stock up on them for the future. It sounds like we are kindred spirits cuz I love thrift stores too! it's like a treasure hunt. You just never know what your're going to find. And I'm always trying to re-purpose stuff, "now what can I use that for?" I hate to see it go into the landfill. Looking forward to future videos!
What a great question! I was around when the internet was born and it was the Wild West of having fun handles. I was signing up for something and needed a user name. I am not a fan of having unconstrained options. I looked around and saw a watercolour that I did that turned out decent. It was a redparrot. I like red and I like birds (which may also explain why I did the watercolour in the first place). From there, it kind of became my go to user name. I couldn’t think of anything for this channel name so might as well use redparrot with the option to change but seriously…. That would take time and effort and brain cells on my part. Might as well keep it. NBC has a peacock. I have a parrot. 🤣😁😁😁😁😁😁😁💕
Brilliant story, Mine is quite simple my first name is correct Alba is the auld name for Scotland my mother place of brith, I lived there fora short time But it will always holiday heart & soul where ever I roam.
In which section of $rama do you find the rugs? I have never seen those... I have some from I..A but they are not made with silk. I have discovered your channel through Kim Newberg and it's win!!! Merci.
Bonjour et bienvenue! It’s so nice to have you here! I found the rugs in the everyday rug section (not seasonal). The material that I was able to pull apart is a little cotton and a lot of man made fibre - not a lot of genuine silk. There is a lot of very nice fabric though that is good for journalling. 😁😊 if you find them, take a bit of time to inspect the fibres. Someone suggested she had one with fleece hoodie material. Hope you find something that you can use! A bientot ! 😊💕
