“My Lace Is My Steel”

Linocut print on cotton

Friends! I created a Boosty account for selling prints I was drawing for cosplay.

https://boosty.to/blue_chatka/posts/b200b6b9-ef76-4ddc-8849-d841bc4cdda6 Here you can buy the pattern of hanfu for JunWu from Heavens' Officials' Blessing donghua. The price is 3.5 $. The purchase contains:

PSD bitmap file with a resolution of 11500 x 3500 pixels, where you can change the color and size of the pattern and background.

PNG file with only the apron pattern on a transparent background

PNG file with only the hanfu breast pattern on a transparent background

Purpose: Printing on textile, Printing on paper to create the stencil. This file was successfully converted into programm for embroidery, but it is not the ready file to launch the embroidery machine itself.

last year i started doing my own patches and i thought i could share the process if anyone is interested in making their own :)

1) choose a design, print it out and tape over the paper (i usually do two layers of tape)

2) cut out the design (be careful when cutting circles!! you have to keep the middle connected to the rest of the paper!)

3) take a piece of fabric or a shirt and tape the stencil on so that it won't move

4) take some fabric paint and dab it on with a sponge

5) take off the stencil (and if you have circles in your design, paint the bits that weren't coloured)

6) wait for it to dry and follow the fabric paint instructions (usually you have to iron it to set the paint) anddd that's it!! i usually sew it on a shirt but you can do whatever you want :)

p.s.: band logos and simple designs are a good place to start cause they're easier but! if you're confident you can do more complicated designs like this

Long time no uni posting!

Jamdani (Bengali: জামদানি), also known as Dhakai named after the city of Dhaka, is a fine muslin textile developed in Narayanganj in Bangladesh. Jamdani is a woven with thread in cotton, using a supplementary weft technique of weaving, where the artistic motifs are produced by a non-structural weft, in addition to the standard weft that holds the warp threads together. The standard weft creates a fine, sheer fabric while the supplementary weft with thicker threads adds the intricate patterns to it. Each supplementary weft motif is added separately by hand by interlacing the weft threads into the warp with fine bamboo sticks using individual spools of thread. The result is a complex mix of different patterns that appear to float on a shimmering surface. The pattern is not sketched or outlined on the fabric, but is drawn on a graph paper and placed underneath the warp. Jamdani is a fine muslin cloth on which decorative motifs are woven on the loom, typically in grey and white. Often a mixture of cotton and gold thread is used.
