QUOTE(Kelly Martin @ Wed 3rd March 2010, 3:51pm) Ran across this image recently. This fine work was executed to illustrate the article on smocking. The problem with this is that the work presented of absolutely horrific quality; if this were my work I would be tempted to burn it and under no circumstance would I let anyone see it. I'm sure that a five year old could do better than this. Of course, one look at who created this travesty of textile arts and you'll understand why this is on Wikipedia.

Fuck off and die. Are those the only choices? Maybe I should make manifest the subtext. You have entered a place where your values will not find universal acceptance. I thought you were simply requesting help changing (and perhaps protecting) this sad redirect.. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by Zoloft:

Fuck off and die. Are those the only choices? Personally I was in favor of forcing Brad and Durova to strip naked, then super-gluing their bellies together, so they are permanently stuck face to face. Damn, that would make an awesome photo on Commons. This post has been edited by EricBarbour:

(IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/sick.gif) Sigh. I'm in two minds about this: on one hand I greatly appreciate what Durova has done for textile arts/ embroidery project (ok: so shoot me) -On the other hand: I would never have dared to show/produce anything like this even in my compulsary handicraft-classes when I was 10-12 years old (And yeah: I had to suffer through those. And hated it. If anyone tells me: "so produce something better yourself"..I'll throw my computer at them. ) And then to publish this on the internet, to let everyone see? Sorry, Durova: this is truly bad. Some self-censorship might come in handy, even for "experiences" wiki-editors. (but of course, the "wiki-way" say that even something horribly bad is better than nothing (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/unhappy.gif) )

Fuck off and die. Are those the only choices? I suppose another option would be to upload this http://www.flickr.com/photos/37869936@N00/493663266or something better yet to Commons. Then you could get rid of the embarrassing quality crap in the article.

I hate to play Devil's Advocate here, but if the point is to show how the fabric is gathered, does the quality of the stitching itself really matter? One might even argue that high-quality stitching might distract the reader/viewer from the fabric-gathering effect. Besides, the world has spandex and lycra now - does anybody even need this technique, other than to make period costumes for Renaissance Festivals? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/hmmm.gif) I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the Smocking (T-H-L-K-D) article is about equal in length to the Textile industry (T-H-L-K-D) article, and actually has better sourcing - though admittedly the latter has an offshoot, Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution (T-H-L-K-D) that's also about the same length.
