Hi everyone, I am preparing to make some drops for a stage
production, the
directors notes for the set drape call for "China Silk", we are poor
so I
have a couple of questions
...and for a look at how china silk acts as a drop (and why it is just
so different from any kind of polyester) go rent "Hero" starring Jet Li,
directed by Zhang Yimou, and watch the scene where the Emperor is
fighting the Assassin in a hall filled with silk drops--stunning!
A note on mm:
3 mm - almost sheer, like holding air
5 mm - barely opaque, very lightweight
8 mm - think fine silk scarf
Oh, and Rupert, Gibbon and Spider also have good habotai prices, though
only black and white:
