Today was a successful day at class. I worked on the roller towel idea. Lisa has found a supplier of new roller towels. Whereas I had searched online with "roller towels", she had searched "suppliers of cotton roller towels" and found a couple of companies that provide 20m or 40m lengths. And only £18/£35! Well done Lisa! Just shows what fiddling with the search terms can do!
Mind you, steaming a 20m length could pose problems. I have never tried this before, and getting 20m correctly wound on a pole, and attached to the steamer hook without completely losing all the steam, might be difficult. I will take advice from Lisa.
I think I am going to drop the illustrations on the roller towels and concentrate on lettering and numbers along the stripe. Dwayne, who was talking to Lisa about a print job, showed me how to get bands of colour with white writing on Photoshop. And I spent a lot of time finding similar lettering to that on a glass cloth. But it was a fantastically successful day.
So tomorrow's plan is to order a roller towel and enough soda ash to coat the fabric. A good day's work makes me quite serene.
