DEMAND FOR COTTON FALLS

DEMAND FOR COTTON FALLS

The December USDA report came out extremely negative for the market decline of cotton production in the U.S. has surpassed expectations, though it was to support the market. But the report also reflected a reduction in capacity and exports from the United States due to the fall in world cotton consumption and reduction of inventory at the end of the 2011-12 season. In addition, cotton is very sensitive to the recession and the debt crisis in Europe does not add optimism.

The growing U.S. dollar also added a negative.

Exports of cotton from the United States in the week was low. According to the USDA on December 8, 2011, the U.S. had contracted 22.9 million bales (total exports in 2011-12 was 394.5 million bales, up 2.6% over the previous season), also contracted 75 five thousand bales of cotton in the ordinary cancellation 34.1 million bales for delivery (total exports of the season 2011-12 is 9686.4 thousand bales (-25.2%).

The demand for cotton in China weak due to reduced orders factories before Christmas. Domestic prices are falling, and it is estimated to continue to decline. At the same time there is growing demand for high-quality cotton.

Support for the domestic market is expected of public procurement.

According to Customs, the import of cotton to China in November 2011 amounted to 378.2 thousand tons, which shows an increase of almost 200% in annual terms. Imports from the beginning of 2011 until the end of November was 2.57 million tons, which is 8.4% higher than the same period in 2010. Import growth is associated with the completion of the state of stocks. It is estimated that Beijing has purchased on the world market, 0.8-1.0 million tons of cotton for supplies.

In addition, the continued purchase of cotton in the domestic market: by the middle of December, it was purchased by 1.43 million tons of cotton. Harvest in 2011 is estimated at 7.2-7.6 million tons, of which 4.1 million tons can be purchased for restocking.

Certified stocks at ICE continues to grow and as of 9 December totaled 93.711 million bales.

According to the USDA, world cotton consumption in 2011-12 is practically unchanged compared to the previous forecast and last season and will be 114.3 million bales. Expected further weakening of demand against the backdrop of increased uncertainty of fiscal and financial uncertainty. The estimated consumption is expected to decline in all countries: China, India, and Pakistan.

Significantly revised down U.S. production to 15.87 million bales (-9.8%), as well as exports from the United States - to 10.83 million bales (-22%).

Thus, cotton prices last week renewed fall in the medium-term falling trend. The December USDA report has had a very negative impact on the market, predicting a significant decline in exports from the U.S. and world cotton consumption.

According to the calculation model on 9 December, the average price of cotton in 2011 is expected to reach 138 cents per pound (USD 3042.4. / Ton) at the oscillation range 91,6-201,3 cents per pound (USD 2019,4-4438 . / ton).

In this case, the calculations for 2012 show a possible reduction in the average price of 33% by 2011, to 92.74 cents per pound (USD 2044.6. / Ton).

BALTIC TEXTILE EXHIBITION

BALTIC TEXTILE EXHIBITION

Cultural Communication Center is under the wing of the municipality and is located in the heart of Klaipeda, close to Theatre Square. Two floors are devoted to the exhibition halls, there are also four workshops for artists, where the master-classes, and visitors can witness how art is born. You can compare this space with Rigas Makslas telpa, but the comparison is not in our favor. Yes and international projects we have arranged is extremely rare.

Latvian art is cooked in its own juice. It also embarked on co-operation and projects in the global context. And rightly so - in fact to appreciate the contribution of his country in a particular genre, you need to be aware of what is going on in this area in the world.

Last Friday, in the center opened two exhibitions on the ground floor - an exhibition of contemporary glass Vitrum Balticum, on the second - an exhibition of contemporary textiles En Face. And in that and in other participating artists from Latvia. Glass art (art copyrights) are Vineta Rain, Barbalha Gulbe, Ilze Dudina, Dainis Gudovskis, Martha Ģibiete, Inita Emane and Iveta Brenz, textile - Baiba Criteria and Iveta Vecenane.

I will discuss the exhibition of textiles En Face, which, unlike the Vitrum Balticum, arranged for the first time in Klaipeda. In Lithuania, the mecca of textile art - is Vilnius and Kaunas, where the textile departments of the same university, representing different areas. In Kaunas, every two years to organize international biennial of textile art, one of the most famous in Europe. Klaipeda was in the side - to her best creations of textile artists did not make it.

This omission has decided to eliminate the director of the Center of Klaipeda Cultural Communication Ignace Kazakyavichyus.

- Title En Face exhibition reflects our desire to show the face of modern textiles. They know about the art people? Batik, tapestry, fabric printing - that#39;s about all that can remember the man in the street. But artists have long been master and coming up with new technology, although it is the tradition and commitment.

We have selected 10 works by artists from the three Baltic countries to them as an example to show the trends of textile art of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.

Lithuanian masters inclined to experiment. They like to mimic the structure of textiles, using different materials: paper, wire, beads. Another trend - is the work on associations, imitation textiles semantics: its softness and warmth.

Monica Zhaltauskayte-Grashene works in jacquard computer technology. Her work - this is the big screen with a picture of a newborn baby. From a distance it seems that it is the pictures on the web, and only came close to objects, you see how the image shatters into woven `pixel`.

It is woven in the workplace, and the task of the artist was to adapt the picture to a computer program.

Another Lithuanian artist uses in his work machine embroidery. She embroiders the words and phrases, and literally stenografiruya them, heard - in the creation, here and now.

Optical textiles (embroidered with optical patterns), textiles as part of a multimedia project (on the canvas - embroidered thrown tomato, shatters into pieces on the monitor next to - video, how to throw tomatoes), with fotoprint textiles, textiles for documentary photography - all this variety of techniques represent Lithuanian artists.

Latvia is represented in the exhibition as a country, honoring the tradition in art. Two tapestry Baiba Criteria and three - Iveta Vecenane woven by the hands of artists on home looms in the traditional technique of traditional materials - wool and flax. But if Rieter weaves the photographs (usually landscapes) and considers himself a craftsman in the art, the Vecenane she comes up with artistic images, draw sketches, color coat and puts the weft threads, as it suggests an artist#39;s intuition.

She considers herself a pioneer. If not weaving, the coloring. `Coloristic romanticism #39;- described her manner Kazakyavichyus. Work Iveta Vecenane `` Abundance, who calls herself an artist has a fountain of positive emotions - a completely new and exhibited for the first time.

Estonians tend to design, direction, art craft. The exhibition shows the trend embroidery on the boards. A simulation of the fence grandmother kindergarten put on the floor in the center of the room. White floral pattern of filaments is not immediately apparent on a light wood, but leans closer - and seen mesmerizing.

For all boards scatter embroidered flowers.

Krista Leesi created computer print wallpaper with a very unusual ornament. From a distance it seems that this black skull on a white background. Zoom in and see what `skull` form images of famous Estonian brands: old Thomas - vane on the Town Hall, a swallow - the national bird, a squirrel - the logo of the Estonian Reform Party, trumpeter - a symbol of vodka Viru Valge etc.

Signe Kivi decorates the old rugs and carpets. Deliberately chooses the most worn, decorate them with rhinestones, paints over your designs ready to paint. On the one portrayed his portrait, the second as a fringe sewn their hair cut.

Controversial art, secondary, it is not utilitarian, something even repulsive, but it has a right to exist.

DECORATE BEDROOM

Decorate BEDROOM

How to make a sleeping room more cozy? Experts advise to spice up the interior with textile.

What room in the apartment can be called the most comfortable? Typically, this bedroom - the realm of luxury and comfort. Here, in the peace and quiet of soft pillows, we can afford to relax after a busy day.

And that was a full-fledged vacation, you need to think through every detail detail of the interior. After a sound sleep not only provide a comfortable mattress and spacious beds, but also harmoniously matched textiles - bedspreads, blankets, carpets and curtains. Everything should be perfectly combined, creating a cozy atmosphere in the room.

In the interior bedroom should be selected textiles such colors that will highlight the selected style, optimally combined with the furniture and overall finish. Particular attention should be paid to the curtains, as well-chosen fabric can completely transform a room and give it a personality and uniqueness. Thinking through options textiles for her bedroom, stick to the following rules, and you can easily create the perfect decor in your sleepy kingdom!

Particulars of bedroom textiles

The most suitable for the bedroom fabric - soft, draping, comfortable and able to maintain coolness and warmth, light shade. The special atmosphere of comfort create natural materials: linen, cotton, silk, pastel tones. It is better to avoid bright contrast curtains and walls or the floor, the color palette in this room should have a relaxing, but not stimulating effect.

Think about what colors will be pleasing to your eye at different times of the year, in daylight or in artificial light.

The density of tissue depends on what effect you want to achieve: that room seemed more spacious and light, it is better to use light curtains of weightless, transparent materials, and to mitigate the bright daylight and create a cozy dimness should be hung at the windows with thick curtains with lining.

Designers are advised to sew curtains and bedspreads from the same fabric to achieve overall harmony. Just use the two-ton basic colors and a contrast - a concise solution will look both elegant and not pretentious. And if you provide a couple of kits that can be changed depending on the season, the interior does not have time to bore you, and will not appear frozen.

You can arrange the additional accents, using the interior accessories and pillows in the same color as the curtains on the windows, or a contrasting color.

It is also important to choose a suitable coloring linen, which would fit well into the overall style of the interior, and combined with the rest of textiles. If you are using orthopedic mattresses, provide interesting toppers. Let the linens and mattress covers are hidden from prying eyes, but, you see, and you yourself will be nice if in the bedroom all the details will be organically combined to suit your taste.

CARTOON CHARACTERS IN HOME TEXTILE

Cartoon characters in home textile

Fabric accompanies the child from birth, first baby swaddled in a soft bike, then placed in a silk envelope with a bow, and his house, waiting for a big towel and your own bed linen. For bed-sheets and pillow cases parents often choose a well-known cartoon characters - to your child dream good dreams, so the room was bright, he was able to fall asleep in the company of those heroes who sees on TV, DVD or the Internet. As cartoon characters appear on the home textiles, we were told at `Home Style #39;.

According to the agency `` Aniteks, the company is leading in the production and sale of household textiles in Russia. It was the first to use it in their production Russian licensed brand. However, let#39;s start from the beginning

In the early days of its operations, the company has worked with the adult range, she had several brands, which were issued under the bed linen, towels and bathrobes, blankets and bedspreads, pillows and blankets. Later, realizing the growing demand for children#39;s products, it was decided to expand the product portfolio is at the expense of children#39;s areas, and in 2006, the company is launching its own brand #39;fidget#39;. `Despite the great quality of the product: only natural fabrics, beautiful prints, a wide range, good advertising support-ing - the sale did not please #39;, - says Olga Ivanushkina, Director of Marketing and Advertising#39; Home Style #39;.

What prevented the growth of sales? The company has called for two reasons: if they had a poorly developed children#39;s customer base, and the brand was unknown. Olga invited to promote their own brand to use the license with recognizable characters, however, to convince the leaders of the effectiveness of this method of promotion could not immediately needed for almost a year!

Olga said that before purchasing a license needed to assess the risks and to understand whether it is possible to transfer a cartoon drawing on a cotton surface so that it retained the right color scheme and was beautiful. The difficulty is that, for printing an image on a conventional fleece-tion rug 150 x 200 cm This product requires a vector format image in very high quality - 600 dpi.

Cotton fabric - plain and terry - and limit the number of possible colors - only 12 are suitable for printing. According to Olga, this complicates the job, especially when it comes to licenses with their individual characteristics and color palette.

However, the decision to purchase a license to the company was still pending. This is the moment of choice. Under the sight were several licenses, especially foreign. But the choice in favor of them had to be abandoned. `First, the leading international manufacturers of bed linen and terry products already had a license for almost all of the most interesting cartoons, we do not want to enter a new product in a tough competition.

Secondly, some of our unscrupulous competitors actively selling counterfeit products featuring popular foreign cartoons produced in the countries of South-East Asia. Third, we thought about the long-term project, we would choose the license of serial cartoon, which would have a permanent hire on Russian television and, accordingly, would have a large loyal audience similar to our potential clients#39;, - says Olga.

Comparing all the possibilities, #39;Home Style#39; left alternative choice: either `Smeshariks` or `Luntik and his friends#39;. Fluffy Luntik unlike Smesharikov while only just gaining momentum, cartoon recently appeared on the screens, and counterfeit products if there was, the poor quality - and the product itself, and the image of the hero (this cartoon characters is difficult to re-draw). As a result, the choice fell on Luntik, and in February 2009 `Home Style` signed a contract with Warner Bros. #39;Mill#39; on the production and sale of bed linen, terry cloth and blankets with cartoon characters.

The project and its cost is fully justified itself. Products with Luntik sold well, but, interestingly, in 3.8 (!) Times increased sales of products under its own brand #39;fidget#39;. #39;We were able to significantly expand its customer base and enter our children#39;s range in almost all the major networks in Russia and Ukraine Small wholesale buyers gladly take products featuring Luntik in their retail stores. Network buyers are very interested in this range, because it is unique!

Oh, and incidentally began to buy the rest of our children#39;s range, tasted it, appreciated #39;, - says Olga. The effect of semi-chilsya is the one that counted, and Olga: Thanks to a licensing Customers spotted the usual collection of the company.

`A year later two of our main competitors have entered into contracts for the manufacture of licensing products. Both, however, with foreign licensors - they had no other choice #39;- smiling Olga. As for the `` Smesharikov, the right to use these characters in the production of home textiles have been purchased by one company, but, according to Olga#39;s success to no avail.

Naturally, the company decided to repeat the first successful experience and enhance-ment of assorted licensed products. And in April 2010, a contract was concluded with the `` Soyuzmultfilm to manufacture and sell children#39;s products for the home with cartoon characters `Well, wait a minute! #39;,` Lion and Turtle `,` Winnie the Pooh `,` Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena `and` Buttermilk `. And in December 2010 `Home Style #39;has added to its portfolio and more` Masha and the Bear#39;.

Now, according to Olga IVANUSHKIN best selling products featuring Luntik `` - the hero is popular. Cartoon channel broadcasts `Russia` in the popular children#39;s program `Good night, kids`. `Probably products with Masha and the Bear` `will be no less popular than` `Luntik, but we just started selling, so is difficult to predict #39;- explained Olga.

The company plans to produce textiles for another Russian license and is negotiating to buy foreign. Home sales on the Russian license, announced on December 2011.
