Attempted a transcription of a (probably late) tang dynasty roundel medallion (https://www.chinasilkmuseum.com/zggd/info_103_itemid_25900.html)
#in close up its obviously kind of rough but it works for my intended purpose#which is to transcribe it onto rubber block material and carve it and use it to print wax onto silk to resist dye#(so everything but the pattern ends up dyed)#I want to make it like 50cm wide so it looks crazy#originally wanted to print it onto a small damask pattern silk maybe persimmon or rosette or curled vine but i cant find any of those :(#so itll have to be plain silk taffeta ! which is fine bc it is Enough and there are a lot of wax/clamp dyed plain weave tang silk fragments#but I saw one which was onto a damask weave and liked it soooo much bc its like two different patterns in one overlaid!!! crazy#I will probably eventually find a fabric like that but For Now i will refine my craft...#my art#tang dynasty#roundel#floral
