An all-Australian team has developed a fabric blending premium cotton with low-value wool, using less water and energy than traditional methods.

Scientists, farmers and the fashion industry collaborate to create a natural fabric that is both woven and knitted, low on emissions and set to shake up how we think about clothing.

An offer just for you!

So saddened by the news of Jane Goodall's passing. Whenever I have heard her speak I felt touched by an angel - it's hard to put into words. An inspiration to us all.

Jane was a special influence on textile artist Janine Heschl, who in Embellish issue 38 said:

"... I was seeking for further impact and purpose of my portraits, and so I approached the Jane Goodall Institut Austria, asking if they were interested in some sort of co-operation. What I ended up with was the opportunity of a lifetime!

I was given the chance to create a portrait of ‘Wounda’, a special chimpanzee lady who has not only touched Dr. Jane Goodall’s heart, but that of many people. I agreed that this portrait would become a donation and it would be used to raise funds for the Jane Goodall Institute. What wasn’t clear for me back then, was that Jane would sign the portrait and that I would auction it off together with her on stage, raising a crazy amount of money. I couldn’t believe my ears, every time the bids increased—giving my work so much meaning, so much purpose. It was the most humbling experience I have ever had in my life: Jane, Wounda and I, making a difference and being the change.

Ever since, I have continued to devote my work to those who can’t speak for themselves and to raise awareness regarding wildlife protection and conservation. I am currently exploring the emotions of extinction in a new series of work and I am so grateful for being able to do what I love most. To say it with Dr. Goodall’s words: ‘We have a choice to use the gift of our lives to make the world a better place.’ "

(Editor’s note: Janine’s beautiful portrait of Wounda raised €6,500 for the Jane Goodall Institut Austria—a wonderful contribution to wildlife protection and conservation!) - close up photo in comments.

Here's our winner from the Embellish Magazine "Egypt" postcard swap ♥ - Donna has won $100 to spend with one of the advertisers in the June issue of Embellish Magazine.

Congratulations Donna and thank you to all who participated - both entering and voting!

Donna's postcard:
My first postcard and had fun making it! I had thin beautiful batik fabric which reminded me of the Egyptian landscape. Added glass beads to fused date palms and leftover scrap fabrics. Stamped [on the back of the postcard] with address and padded lightly with pelon.
