Hi Aylwen, I just did a very very superficial check on Geman sites. In short, I found out that the Vendish were a Slavic tribe/people and closely related to the Sorbs. There is still a minority in eastern Germany. Vendish and Sorbish appear to have the same roots, but during the GDR the

Re: [h-cost] Adding color to silk

I seriously suggest using the medium if one wants to paint with acrylics on fabric. Acrylic will flake or peal over time, and the medium helps to prevent that. I lost my favorite theatre stage hands shirt because we didn't know that when we painted them with watered down, but straight acrylics.
