i am a weaver too

although very little weaving content lately i do weave  (＾∇＾).
this one is rocking. a beautifully tensioned warp weaving effortlessly and progressing at a good rate as the oranges are appearing in front of the reed.the merino cashmere weft yarn is a dream to work with.
it is a long warp so it will take time.thinking about lading some bengara on the white parts to keep on with the latest craze.

english rib  wet finished  and blocked.thinking about  putting the bengara to work.

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.
