BLACK ON BLACK
The bleach didn’t work.
I chose the only black silk resilient to industrial strength bleach. So the little idea of recreating the bleached woven fabric here, then screenprinting over it, was put aside while I returned to the original idea.
Black:charcoal screenprint on black silk [with very fine
black wool outer]. Subtle. Elegant. Sometimes indiscernable.
Very, very grown up. More photos of process - i, ii, iii
silk is supposed to be soooo delicate isn't it? That's why its always dry clean only! :-)

Murphy's... But glad it didn't foil you from making something beautiful.
