while sorting piles of papers
[in pursuit of rendering aforementioned guest room habitable]
i found various amusing things
including
a copy of 'Beyond the Bale' , a publication of Australian Wool Innovation
which describes a clever printing process
whereby leaf images can be digitally printed on to cloth
[forgive me, i may have mentioned this before]
i think there may be easier ways to do this
especially
on wool
really.
ReplyDeleteAND. i used to work for a company that initialed something like this. i got fired. might have been one morning in a meeting when i suggested that maybe boot camp should include textile training and everyone could learn to stitch local camouflage on their own uniform....
ReplyDeletecontact the nra (national rifle association--i'm sure there's an australian version of the organization) and see what they think!!!
ReplyDeleteWool innovation...as a wool grower I pay tax that funds that lot...Very little innovation though. They encourage high brow fashion and young designers but I can't buy wool fabric in my local shop! If only more people knew how nice it is to sew and wear wool
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone and everything is moving into the digital world- I am sure you will find creative ways to use this process
ReplyDeletejude, i wish i'd been a fly on the wall at that meeting
ReplyDeletedonna -
i see no reason that i would use it
making leaf prints with leaves and water is easier, cheaper and more ecologically sustainable
shazz, some of the designs that win prizes with that lot seem frankly ridiculous...wool it truly a miracle fibre and so much more sustainable than [for instance] polyester
been so occupied in my inner and outer studio, haven't spend time perusing other blogs, the forest calls "playtime" and there are various exhibition projects. The relentless rain this week forced me inside and I wrote in my 'not another recipe book' Loved the "everywhere is walking distance....." quote. Play on and discover......
