Hot water can set protein stains such as milk, egg, or blood.
Heat will set most stains: tea, tumeric
Never rub a fresh stain with bar soap. Soap sets many stains.

Salt+ vinegar to the paste
iron

Salt Fixative (for berry dyes) 1/2 cup salt to 8 cups cold water

Plant Fixatives (for plant dyes) 4 parts cold water to 1 part vinegar

Add fabric to the fixative and simmer for an hour. Rinse the material and squeeze out excess. Rinse in cool water until water runs clear.

Dye Bath: Place wet fabric in dye bath. Simmer together until desired color is obtained. The color of the fabric will be lighter when its dry. Also note that all dyed fabric should be laundered in cold water and separately.

Muslin, silk, cotton and wool work best for natural dyes and the lighter the fabric in color, the better. White or pastel colors work the best.

----------------------

Restore Black Color with Coffee

To answer your question, you can refresh your black clothes by adding bluing, or strong coffee, or tea(2 cups) to the rinse water. They should return to their original dark black state. To prevent future fading, wash them in cold water, with Ivory Flakes plus only a small amount of detergent.

Formula for a Screen Printing Paste http://www.druckstelle.info/en/siebdruck_rezept.aspx

This formula was developed by the Berlin artist Gernot Bubenik in 1990. It allows printmakers to independently produce a low-cost screen printing base. Bound pigments or tempera and gouache inks may be added. Prints can be overprinted after 15 minutes. You can use this paste for screens up to 120 T.

Ingredients

500 ml water
80 g starch
20 ml glyzerine (80%)
5 g gelatine (pulverized)
50-100 ml shellac wax soap
5-10 drops of clove oil
100 ml methylcellulose glue (viscous)

Eva Pietzcker, screen print with self made inks, 70 x 100 cm, 1995

Instruction

Dissolve the starch in a cup filled with 150 ml of cold water. Pour this into a pot and add 350 ml of cold water. Place it in a bigger pot with boiling water. Stir the heating mixture carefully to produce a thick, translucent liquid. Once the mixture has acquired this consistency, keep stirring for another 5-10 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the water. Pour the glycerine, the gelatine, (previously dissolved in hot water) and 50-100 ml of shellac-wax-soap into it while stirring. Add some drops of clove oil to increase the conservation potential.
When the temperature of the paste is below 60°C, add the warmed methylcellulose glue.
This paste should be stored in the refrigerator. Stir well before use, and add water to obtain the desired consistency.

Shellac Wax Soap

Heat 5 parts (volume) shellac wax (broken up) with 5 parts (volume) of water and one part (volume) Marseille soap until the wax pieces are dissolved and the mixture has acquired a fine creamy consistency. Canauba wax is a useful subsitute for shellac wax and the Marseille soap can be replaced by curd- or olive-oil soap.

http://woodblock.com/encyclopedia/entries/013_02/013_02.html

MICROWAVE: Place 1 tablespoon of wheat starch in a microwave-safe container, add 5 tablespoons of distilled water, stir and place the mixture in a microwave oven. The oven must be very clean. Microwave on a high setting 20 to 30 seconds, remove the paste, and stir. Repeat this process several times until the paste is stiff and translucent. Paste should cool before it is used.
BOIL: While half a pint of water is put to boil in a saucepan, mix in a cup about two teaspoonfuls of rice flour with water, added little by little until a smooth cream is made with no lumps in it. Pour this mixture into the boiling water in the saucepan all at once, and stir well till it boils again, after which it should be left simmering over a small flame for five minutes. When the paste has cooled it should be smooth and almost fluid enough to pour: not stiff like a pudding.
To make starch paste, mix dry starch with enough cold water to make a stiff cream. (A teaspoonful of starch makes a cup of paste). Add boiling water, stirring the while, until the liquid thickens. If it does not thicken, boil it.
Paste is made from rice flour. Fine rice flour is kept in water over night, and with a suitable amount of water it is heated over a slow fire; it needs continuous stirring until it begins to boil. When cooked it finally turns translucent, but just before it turns entirely translucent, while there still remain some whitish parts, it should be taken off the fire. That is the stage in which the starch paste is the strongest. When it becomes too thick it can be diluted with water to a suitable consistency just before using. It should be sufficiently fluid so that it can be poured into another vessel, and when an amount less than the tip of the thumb will adhere to the end of a stick.

"'survival kits' to help them evade capture or escape imprisonment
should they be shot down over hostile territory. These kits were
packed into a small oilskin pouch and typically included a small saw
blade, needle and thread, currency, phrase cards, a tiny compass the
size of a thumb nail and, most crucially, a silk map."

art as life, as found, spoons

2010-09-20T17:57:00.001+12:00

http://www.jenniferdowland.com/blog/

"I started to notice that successful objects, that is, objects which
are good to live with, seemed to share certain characteristics. They
were never the result of aesthetic decisions alone, nor were they
purely functional. They always balanced these two extremes with the
additional consideration of the appropriateness of materials and their
combination, of the human experience of using and living with the
object, of the objects effect on its surroundings and of the
communication of its purpose."

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/03/arts/design/03andr.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
Ms. Zittel is heir to a long list of 20th-century tweakers of the
human environment. They range from Bauhauslers like the German-born
weaver Anni Albers and the Austrian architect Margarete
Schütte-Lihotzky — whose prefab "Frankfurt kitchen" was built into
10,000 working-class apartments in 1927 — to Americans like Elizabeth
Hawes ("Fashion Is Spinach"), Buckminster Fuller and the furniture
designers Charles and Ray Eames.

http://www.franciscape.com "The Utility Furniture Scheme, which ran in Britain from 1942 to 1951, was the last example of the link between furniture design and social idealism; a history that started with William Morris in Britain, continued with Bauhaus, then De Stijl, and was taken up in Scandinavia, before returning to Britain.Design is no longer seen as part of a larger scheme for social improvement; the material itself is the end."

Back-breaking work for just a few roubles' reward, but for these
villagers it was better than the alternative of no employment.

"I learned that the impulse to collect is connected to the impulse to
create," he observed. "It seems more like preservation, which isn't
really creation, but in giving order to what you've saved, in making
selections, and in your presentation of the material, there is a
creative aspect. I hadn't before seen it as something directly
connected to the art-making impulse. I'd thought of collecting as a
pastime, but in writing the book I developed a more creative view of
it."

William Davies King "Collections of Nothing"

Destruction the mother of creation
