marianne wigmans - barth said… - Hi !
Thank you for your comment at my work. I useally work a lot with (hand)painted textiles which I buy in a shop and with voile, I hope I used the correct word for it. Voile is mostly a polyester textile. I use it a lot in my work for it softens the colour and otherwise it gives a nice glow over it.
