and now on fabric

using a scrap of linen from the will be dress.a bit of embellishing, a lot of stamping  and a light wash of bengara to mute the pink.

read on a japanese page that a small operation that sells  a prepared concoction uses something 

qualified as latex. then you have to iron the cloth to fix the pigment.maybe they use that because soy milk is short lived, but i used soy milk and it works very well. i mean that's what's used traditionally.

this is a wrecked piece of knitted linen and it took very well.

less arty photo showing the first coat. i gave it two to even out the lighter spots.

going back to the latex addition i don't see why not use gac 900  which is universally used by surface design artists and quilters.

bengara!

on paper.using a japanese watercolor paper. it's very thin ,unlike the regular one we know, yet very strong.

also using some indigo dregs that i kept .
just testing but it's pretty effective
