Layers of Meaning

Yaga = Embellisher?

Embellisher part II. We don't have a lot of resources for the embellisher in the US; nor seemingly in any of the English-speaking countries. However Babylock (I believe) is a Japanese company and they seem to have had the machine over there for more years and in Eastern Europe as well. There is a group in Russia going by the name Yaga who appears to be turning Embellisher-crafted items into art fabric available in commercial quantities. It is amazing to sift through their website and revel in the imagination, beauty and productivity.

Their explanation of what they are doing (note the parallels to the embellisher):

"Yaga-fabric is a joining into one whole cloth of various fabrics, yarns, threads, fibers in any combination without seams, stitches, glue, and other auxiliary means. By analogy with metallurgy it is a fusion of textile materials.

Yaga-fabric is distinguished by its great patterns, plasticity, depth and texture effects which can not be achieved in other technologies.

Yaga-fabric is not only primary cloth for further work but they can be also referred to a handmade art-object unique due to its origin. The figurative row of Yaga-fabrics is endless"
