Telling the Story
I have been working on a series of drawings that will tell the story of how Hindu Kush clothes are made and are transported to the UK. They will form the 'Story' part of the website.
The main drawing shows the sequence of transport and manufacture. I have uploaded it below, even though it charges through the navigation bar, but you have to see it in one go!

We start off with the making of the cloth in the Hindu Kush....
The cloth then travels by super-glamorous Pakistani truck over the mountains and down into the plains to our factory in Lahore, where our garments are carefully put together...
Then it's by sea to the UK!
Accompanying the main drawing are popup pages which will give details on specific parts of the process:
Please forgive the spelling and grammar in the windows below, they are work in progress!
Locating the Hindu Kush
The special sheep that provides the wool for our cloth. These sheep know their worth.
The traditional clobber of the Hindu Kush. Texting is not so traditional...
Tolls used in making the cloth and the families that use them.
Tom, I think that is the most beautiful, amazing ?blogspot? ever - your drawings are wonderful!
ReplyDeletea) you need a copy editor eg I thought 'sharholdes' was a remote tribe in N Pakistan - sorry, I've just seen the request for forgiveness for spelling and grammar mistakes b) I'm probably missing the point but I was trying to find a link to the actual jackets and how to buy them, or do you have to do something else?
Anyway - bloomin' marvellous!
love Jane (Butcher) (& sorry, I don't know how to make it come from me, not Ellie - your Mum forwarded a link!)
