singing for my supper

working to finish this series.all has settled and the work is going smoothly.the yarns are speaking, the structure is also speaking.the images blend well. the effort put in the work feels positive.

on a disquieting note and sorry to be the herald of doom,read that about 80% of the wearables, including fashion are at  best  aging badly and at worst  disintegrating. the use of synthetic materials in the 70-80

have proven not conservation materials whereas costumes from the 17th-18th century are still intact.

much of fashion history of the 20th century is going to disappear. think courreges, mary quant even  early vivienne westwood.  think also charles james. terrifying thought.

unification

did a massive iron modifier bath . left to right weld (maybe) but it was bright yellow, light benibana pink

more benibana ,stronger pink,the rest can't remember but they seem to be on the orange side, maybe madder?pleased,pleased with the outcome. need to start planning the warp.

murasakizome. the gray is after the iron modifier.it's a gorgeous lilac gray one of those off hard to describe colors.

those are silk bourette so they have to be wefts,or perhaps a knit?
