In the last two decades, the glorification of sewing - whether involving needlework, tailoring, or fashion design - has thrived in Latin American and Iberian cultural works, particularly literature. In the last two decades, the glorification of sewing - whether involving needlework, tailoring, or fashion design - has thrived in Latin American and Iberian cultural works, particularly literature. While fast fashion has relegated the handicraft to maquiladoras in the Global South, Spanish and Latin American authors have created protagonists whose skill with needle and thread allows them to break out of culturally confining roles and spaces. In this fictional realm, seamstresses and tailors enter exciting adventures as spies, peacemakers, or explorers, all facilitated by their artistry and expertise. This book examines the depiction of women and the textile arts in contemporary Hispanic and Brazilian literature. Employing space and gender theories, the book explores how sewing, traditionally viewed as respectable only if practiced at home, gives agency and encourages self-reflection and mobility, allowing protagonists to transgress physical and socially prescribed limits. Texts analyzed include María Dueñas's El tiempo entre costuras (2009), César Aira's La costurera y el viento (1994), Pedro Lemebel's Tengo miedo torero (2001), Frances Ponte de Peebles's The Seamstress (2009), and children's literature. Encouraging readers to look behind garments to the agents of production, the book shows how contemporary authors, through their celebrations of an age-old skill, help to renew interest in sewing, tailoring, upcycling, and embroidery.

James Fowler Cooper was born in 1907 in Williamsburg County, SC, in the farming district of Indiantown near Kingstree. He entered the University of South Carolina at age 17, graduating with honors with a bachelor's degree in the double major of English and Latin but he also received a Certificate of Art from Miss Katherine B. Heyward who was instructing there and who had studied art abroad. He also had the opportunity of studying under Miss Elizabeth White who joined the University faculty in 1926. After graduation from the University of South Carolina in 1928, he went to New York to study at the Art Student's League where he worked under George Bridgeman and Boardman Robinson among others. Cooper said that it was Boardman Robinson and his draftsmanship that was most influential on him since "draftsmanship is a medium that demands drawing more than any other." It was Robinson's teaching that "induced me to try etching," said Cooper. When he first started his self-education in etching, Cooper contacted Miss Elizabeth White, his former USC teacher who lived in Sumter, SC, and she let him use her etching press until he could get his own. He also continued his friendship with Lamar Dodd (whom he regularly saw at Pawley's Island, on the coast of South Carolina) and who helped him with contacts in the art world.The Charleston Etchers Club, which included such notables as Elizabeth O'Neill Verner and Alfred Hutty, was helping etching as an American art form gain noticed in the 1930s. Cooper, it seems, got some informal advice from Hutty even though he did not enter Hutty's class in Charleston. Cooper was virtually a self-taught etcher getting his lessons from books that he bought and studied. Over the years he took on all forms of etching dry point, soft ground and aquatint but he was an acknowledged master at dry point. Cooper's work has been described as "scholarly, intellectual, and traditional." In the 1930s and 1940s he was considered a "regionalist" by some art critics when that description was being applied to such artists as Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. He was actually a gifted gentleman farmer who worked at his art in his spare time committing to paper the scenes and people around him. He did not think in regionalist terms, at least not as an artist, but rather more as one who tried to honestly record local life in a setting that he loved. His shy demeanor always prevented him from self-promotion so his etchings, even though they constitute a rather large body of work, have generally gone into the private collections of the few who knew him, or his family, or into institutional collections. He died in 1968 in Indiantown when he was only 61. Since he married later in life he had survived just long enough to see his two children off to college. Boyd and Stephanie Saunders have collected most of the examples of his work into an admirable book, "The Etchings of James Fowler Cooper," published by USC Press (Columbia, S.C.) in 1982. His work may also be seen in public collections at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston; the Columbia Museum of Art in Columbia, SC; the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia, SC; and various corporate collections. -- From http://www.askart.com/AskART/artists/biography.aspx?artist=123532.

The Devotion of a Spiritual Mother and Daughter in Ministry uncovers the roles and responsibilities of spiritual parents and their children. A spiritual mother and daughter's relationship is more than going out to dinner and shopping. It is about receiving the power of the Holy Spirit through obedience as it relates to the covenant and prophetic assignments that have been given for the enhancement of God's Kingdom. As a spiritual mother, it is vital to understand your children's gifts, how to stand in agreement with them and intercede on their behalf. God has given you the authority to establish your sons and daughters' purposes without jealousy, envy or strife. It's imperative to protect, nurture, and cultivate what God has entrusted you to birth through your spiritual children. Throughout this book, you will gain Biblical insight into what true sonship looks like. With a pure heart and teachable spirit, a spiritual daughter must be humble and receptive to rebuke. Not only will you learn how to be submissive and serve leaders in ministry, you will also learn how to share the same spirit and values of your spiritual mother. Daughters will be taught how to speak in truth and carry their burdens together.May you be blessed by their testimony and encouraged to begin Leading with Honor and Learning with Humility.

"All these are the beginning of birth pains." Matthew 24:8Birthing involves squeezing through a small, narrow space in order to launch us into a large, expanded place. As we're squeezed and pressured, we must examine what comes forth. Is it prophetic intercession, ministry, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? My question to you is, what are you carrying? "Around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it's not only around us; it's within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We're also feeling the birth pangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us; any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don't see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy." Romans 8:22-25 (The Message Bible) "NOW KEEP PUSHING UNTIL YOUR PROMISE COMES FORTH" ABOUT THE AUTHOR Prophetess Stephanie Saunders is the wife of Apostle Charlie Saunders and a mother to three children and a spiritual mother to many sons and daughters.
