I have been involved with textiles for most of my life with spinning, weaving, sewing,book arts and dyeing fibres and threads for embroidery and crafts. During this time I came intrigued with natural fibres namely Hemp Fabrics, Bamboo and Silk. So a little information on Hemp for you....
This fibre has many benefits for the user.
Mold and insect resistant, also UV resistant Hemp is naturally resistant to fungus and insects. As such, it does not require any pesticides during its cultivation so therefore is also Organic.
Hemp fabric withstands, even benefits from, laundering. Its inherent luster and light reflective qualities are enhancedd by washing; ...Hemp has four times the strength of cotton; It won't weaken when washed. Hemp retains color better than any other fabric.
Hemp fiber has been used thousands of years and in fact materials made from hemp were discovered in tombs
dating back to 8,000 BC.
There are many styles of Hemp Fabrics, 100% Hemp, Hemp/ Cotton mix, Hemp/Silk mix,Hemp/Yak mix very similar to linen. I do have some small lengths of fabrics that I could be persuaded to part with so just contact me...
From textiles I then went into painting in Mixed Media and playing with different techniques mainly with Acrylics altho I do like to use oils if I'm painting portraits. All Paintings are READY TO HANG.
I am not sure on what the postage should be on some items but I will check on the specific item when purchased.
