Grateful, I suppose

[mmcnealy]

I suppose I should just be grateful that there is brocade fabric out there like that seen in so many of the Lucas Cranach the Elder's paintings

And not be bitching that its $71 a meter with a 10 meter minimum order


Talk about a period-style barrier to copying the fashions of the upper-crust. *big grin*

Of course there's lots of other 'almost good enough' brocades on there for much less, just not the one I want!

well you know me and pretties. I always at least try to keep an eye on stuff. I have heard that even though Istok lists as silks some of the fabric is a poly silk blend or not even silk at all.
