Novetly Textured Striped Silk Organza - Deep Purple

[lacewise]

Okay so I have been on a years long quest to find a replacement for architect’s linen (like, if I was rich, I would fund a factory manufacturing it—I tracked down how it’s made in my quest) or just an alternative to sticky-backed plastic

And I’m testing out some fabric samples because sticky-backed plastic and I had a mutual disagreement (or several)

And the first one—the one I was really excited about—went pretty well, actually. It lost a few threads and it frayed so it definitely needs to be pinked in the future and it definitely has an end date—but that’s fine, all needle lace stuff wears out eventually

The thing was I didn’t know if it was a fluke, my first thought was maybe any translucent fabric scrap that small would work, so I was at a crossroads:

I could either move on to making a larger sample to check OR… I could cut out the other fabric samples and sew them down to be sure

Guess which one I went with?

And now I am fighting with organza

The one that worked well (and is finished) is just slightly… sticky…? Not to me, but to paper and fabric, and in hand it functions like paper

The other ones are functioning at various levels of “we don’t want to be here”

The shiny one in the middle and the one below it I am using as controls

The organza is winning

How can a fabric be that slippery

Does anyone want to know about a problem I caused myself for no reasons other than hubris and a deep sense of dedication to research?

This was soooo fun to move around,wondering how it will move when I drape it onto the body

With the fabric that I have and explored with I really wanted to think back with the fabric Aleksei Dayneks used which was feather silk however getting my hands one that type of silk was pretty difficult so I found another alternative that still moves beautifully and can resemble the movement of a fish. Organza Silk was the alternative that I ended up using. I seen something was missing in my experimentation and now with this silk I was explore draping with it and the fabrics I have now. I’ve included a video to show you how the fabric moves and how I it looks like the movement of the fin and tail of a koi fish.

Songs have fabric in them but I can't tell if that's synesthesia or if I just love fabric that much
