Portal talk:Textile arts/Intro

Comments
I'd like to add more about the scope of this project. A few notes for expansion.

Textile arts also encompass:
 * Chemistry - synthetic fibers, aniline dye
 * Technology - punch cards developed for the jacquard loom remained in use in modern computers until the 1970s.
 * Ethnohistory - Navajo rug, Palestinian costumes, Textiles of Oaxaca, etc.
 * Third world development - textiles are among the earliest industries a country develops when it transitions from an agricultural economy to a manufacturing economy
