[HNW] Ink for Linen

[Frank A Thallas Jr]

   To mark your pattern?  

     Most of my work on linen has been counted, but for scrollwork I've used
(gently!) a number2 pencil

 And for other things one of those blue washout pens.  Don't know how much
help that is.

Hello everyone,

My current project is an alter cloth from Lower Saxony in the 14th Century.
I took some pictures at the V&A of a partially finished piece.  I have the
Cennini references.  I have learned to cut a quill.  So, I am a sure that I
want to apply in this manner.

Has anyone tried any period inks on linen?  If not, has anyone done modern
inks on linen?

 

Thank you,

Holly
