Hi Trink, yeah, I downloaded and decoded plans for Prince Willem it helped me a lot with undrestanding, thanks for that. I just complained for that strange alphabet which pages are written. Of course I did not try to translate anything from that, only plans helped :-D
Wow, interesting techinque for blackening ropes, I will try it with my threads.
I also thought about colors for textile, maybe it will also provide good results.
I will try both techniques and let you know
Many thanks again for participating in this discussion (although you are only one)...
All the best !
