(taken from NUNO list) A very cheap pigment-printing process typically used on T-shirts is combined with flocking--static-electrically adhering powdered minute fibers--to achieve a unique textural depth. The pattern is a study in light and shadow playing over a village wall near Ankhara. The sheer, plain-woven polyester organdy is white, as is the printed design.
