The Real Deal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">Sex by Alex McKenzie<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\">Sex is a collection of individual contemporary blue and white prints in a flora and fauna pattern of 100% natural cotton<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">fabric, following in the tradition of textiles as a medium to tell stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">about human relationships, life\u2019s fortunes and rituals through symbolism. \u2018Birds and Bees\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">explore themes relating to encounters between lovers and the interplay between<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">the positive and negative that makes connections with those we love both joyful and challenging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Birds and Bees combines imagery of swallows and honey bees artfully skirting around central<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">spines of brambles and apple branches bearing fruit. These visual references are emblematic of the<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">art of relationships and the careful negotiation required to maintain the equilibrium of both the<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">physical and emotional side of shared lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Whilst at first the prints appear to be part of a familiar visual narrative and established textile tradition,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">the underlying symbolism cleverly weaves a different story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">These collections reflect the central themes running throughout Alex\u2019s work through her depiction of<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">nature as a wider statement about our lives as human beings, our interactions with each other and<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">the world we live in.<\/p>\n<h4>About BlueHanded<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Working with London-based artists, specially selected for their artistic<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">endeavour and signature style, our fabrics uniquely reinterpret and revere the age-old art of indigo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Create a striking scheme by combining fabrics, or savour individual prints as feature accents; for<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">window treatments, home furnishings, upholstery and accessories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Indigoists appreciate the slight &#8216;wabi sabi&#8217; imperfections of this 100% natural cotton material. Unlike other inferior<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">indigo dyes, our indigo is of very high quality. Our textiles are dyed in 25 year old vats that have<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">been in continuous use so the dye is more stable and consistent in colour then most artisanal<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">natural plant dyeing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Traditional Chinese indigo dying techniques are a millennia old, rich in colour and history. Also known as Katazome in Japan. See how it&#8217;s made <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/192749018\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Natural indigo dye is a deep iridescent blue that subtly and uniquely fades, enriching its personal<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">character. For upholstery where used for direct seating we will prewash the fabric and suggest<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">stain guarding it. The fabric is rated severe contract for colourfastness to light (BS EN ISO 105-<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">BO2:2014 Method 3) and general domestic for abrasion (BS EN SIO 12947-2: 2016). SGS test available upon<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">request. Calico cotton thread count is 106.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\">CARE<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Like denim, before using with light colours it is recommended to have the fabric pre-washed &amp; stain<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">guarded. General care: Gentle detergent, cold or lukewarm wash and shady line dry. Do not tumble dry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wash &amp; use with other dark colours. Dry clean not recommended. Do not bleach. Iron cotton setting<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">the reverse side as to not create a sheen on the indigo cotton.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Alex McKenzie pattern design Birds &amp; Bees Natural Indigo fabric for the home<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary flora &amp; fauna pattern 100% natural cotton fabric.<\/p>\n<h4>Pattern 051 Birds &amp; Bees by Alexandra McKenzie<\/h4>\n<p>Sold by the metre.
