(Blush). I am so relieved you like them, Rasshu-dono.
Check your Messages. I have a resolution for helmet hair.
I am NEVER painting on linen again if I can possibly help it.

1) Is screen printing on linen any better? I would like to be able to put some kind of decoration on linen for a few projects I have coming up, but if there's no good way to do it then there's no good way. 2) How deep are those sleeves when laid flat, and how tall are you? Effingham-sensei's pattern for hitatare produces sleeves that are 25" tall, which felt absurdly long on my 5'11" frame. 3) That looks fantastic!  |

My victim is 5'10 and I used the Effingham hitatare pattern.
Remember, nothing says, "I am rich and powerful" like swanning around in a lot of fabric.

You are so correct !! I felt virile and buffy!! ( more than usuall lol!!)
Makiwara-danae also made me a set in black and gold . just as awsome.
I think you did a fantastic job on the painting.
When i was in highschool we did old schoo silk screning on linnen . it was dificult because of it bleeding thru so we backed it with wax paper and light material adhesive.
This size would easilly fit someone 6'-6'2" .
If im a victim then chain me to the wall !! ;D

Bovil-dono has done some sample bits using paint sticks (on cotton, I think?), which looked quite promising. I may try to get some and attempt some tests on swatches. I found that the weave of the linen was much looser than the silks I've painted on and it was a P.I.T.A. to deal with.
