More on Angora.

I just thought I would try and find a web site that shows the process of harvesting the hair of an angora rabbit.   This link will also give you some in depth insight into  breeding Angora rabbits.

Please if you watch and view this web page will you leave a comment on your thoughts on the whole process.

Just imagine wearing all that hair in the summer?

Hello people of the College.  I will be in and out of college for a bit don't forget me!

I am deep down into my ethics report , and let me tell you, the deeper you go on this subject area the  more complicated it gets.

I am going to have to sort out a better strategy and work out what I want to achieve.  the subject is just so very big.
 I am posting my info that I need you all to visit and I will be around as many class mates as possible with a small survey soon.

Even though this is a tough subject I want as many people as possible to be part of my results.

There must be a way to produce this lovely fibre without all the cruelty associated with it!

For those of you who do not know what Angora Hair is and the controversy I am including a link to a site that will give you more information.  

A WARNING , THIS LINK CONTAINS GRAPHIC PICTURES AND OR VIDEO OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING INFLICTED ON THESE  ANIMALS.

a Late Night leads to an interesting find

I just have to share this with you all.  flicking through the channels like you do when your to tired to sleep! I found an interesting program on Japanese designers.  One in particular was designing a pair of shorts made out of Denim, nothing new in that I here you say.  In his design he actually specified what type of distressing and the position of the distressing he wanted on his jeans.  His chosen manufacturer had to incorporate 3   different ageing effects..

You see the manufacturers using grinders and sanders on fabric.

 This program will next be shown on;
