Work has been crazy lately... the blog falls behind because of that. <br />Yes PVA can do almost anything LOL You have to make sure there's some "tooth" to what you're gluing together. Early on I didn't sand the edges of my plates and the glue would come off very easily. I learned I had to rough up the surface a bit. If the porcelain gets wet the glue will turn white and the embroidery can peel off.Diem Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045341089709984062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-26696649841414568562011-05-16T10:17:00.678-07:002011-05-16T10:17:00.678-07:00Diem - thanks for posting your process.

I am a book-maker and always have PVA in my studio.<br />Anyways, thanks again.<br />-BhavnaBhavnahttp://www.bhavnamehta.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-73673157377956302292010-07-16T11:44:06.666-07:002010-07-16T11:44:06.666-07:00Thanks Edmund :)

From the stiffness of the fabric I guessed it must have had a blend of silk and something else?<br /><br />I just got another 5 yards of plain "organza" from Seattle Fabrics (another remnant shop). It's not as translucent, but it works. Still keeping my eyes out. <br /><br />I've worked with the silks you talk about. They are wonderful, but very opaque.Diem Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045341089709984062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-13298796298129185892010-07-16T10:50:32.208-07:002010-07-16T10:50:32.208-07:00We use silk for mounting traditional chinese/japan...We use silk for mounting traditional chinese/japanese/korean calligraphy. Similar process as yours, but we usually mount the silk on paper rather than on ceramics. <br /><br />Have you considered checking framing/calligraphy shops in Chinatown to see what they have? You will probably have to ask and they are around $12 to $15 a metre here in Canada.Edmundhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/edmundlirgd/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-17022184186623207722010-06-08T14:56:35.080-07:002010-06-08T14:56:35.080-07:00Thanks for visiting he blog Kathryn :)Thanks for visiting he blog Kathryn :)Diem Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045341089709984062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116613742152848437.post-86215031535445569092010-06-08T14:48:36.425-07:002010-06-08T14:48:36.425-07:00This is so amazing.
