Manchester Museum

Today I went to Manchester Museum to look at the 'Around the World' exhibition, there i found a range of tribal dressing and weapons, i found that there was alot of beading and braiding. 

 I paticualraly was intriqued by this exhibit, it is a tribal warrior costume made up of thousands of beads, i am rather interested in the pulled threads through the beading.


I like the different red colouring on this african tribe fabric.


I am intrigued by this piece of fabric i found, the material itself is rather dull but the small strip of beading and fringing is full of possibilities and spring the idea of adding beading to my knit samples for Leutton Postle.
