Then it was a simple if maddening chore to color in every other rhomboid with paint. Once that was dry I treated the upper portion with sizing, then traced and painted the rams.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ee0r.com\/proj\/images\/hatajirushi-owen-rams.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:512px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m always a little paranoid about the paint, so even though I used the air-set additive in the paint I also did a bunch of ironing to heat-set the paint. I have to wash the silk to get all the chalk off, so I need to be sure the paint is well and truly set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, this banner was done in plenty of time before Pennsic, and we used it at Owen&#8217;s vigil and his procession into court. Always happy to help out, and be able to contribute a gift that somebody can actually use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a project that barely has any wood in it at all!
