Absolutely loved this video. So much information. I have to admire her guts for doing the work needed to make that small amount of lotus silk. I have learned about something I had no idea about. I love silk and now know about a silk that doesn’t kill something to make a fibre I love. I wouldn’t even know where I could buy a piece of lotus silk. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you! samatoa.lotus-flower-fabric.com/ Samatoa is the Cambodia-based business that inspired me to do this. It has a lot more information about lotus silk and they sell products as well.
I have so much respect for the artisans who do this every day. I'm pretty proud of what I did, but my body was not prepared for the kind of hard work that goes into this. :-)
She made it sound hard work which was distracting. I didn’t like her attitude she was condescending and it was unattractive. I mean if you didn’t want to do it then why?
Well, sure is a good thing I wasn't trying to be attractive. 😂 This is very hard work, which is something I want anyone who plans to go down this path to know before getting into it. I am an experimental fiber artist and teacher. My goal isn't to make the work look easy and pretty.

It can take at least 2 months to make one lotus silk scarf. So for what you gathered in one harvest is acutally a lot!

This video was cool af and had some good laughs! Thanks for experimenting and taking one for the team!
Always happy to throw myself under the bus. 😂
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am planning to work on it but with a twist.
Wonderful! Would love to see what you do!
Have you made any progress in Lotus silk making?
Great attempt
Thank you, trying it myself has given me so much respect for those who have mastered the technique.
Your music is so spooky... :)
Get your heart racing for that sweet lotus action. 😂
It's a meticulous job.
It is! Which is why I have so much respect for the artisans who do it all the time.
Who are you looking at when were talking. Clearly there is no one there. Lol.
Uh oh, I've been caught.
@@Luthvarian it was funny though. Haha. At least you stopped me from going into a muddy pond. :)
@@jayssands4903 lol, glad to take one for the team. :-)
