"sea silk", aka byssus from Sardinia
I doubt this stuff is ever going to feature in a quilt, but it's
the most remarkable story about a textile craft I've read in a long time: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33691781 I like the way it is not a commodity. A lot us treat our quilts the same. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
