I see. I also would like to use muslin but I'm making
these prints for selling at a "handmade objects shop"
and the shop owner insists on silk.

My first tests are promising (I tried ecru crepe
d'amour and ecru satin-organdy). I liked the
satin-organdy version most (especially when viewed
from the back side - the image ghostly emerges thru
the ultra thin threads on the fabric, best to
overexpose by 1-2 stops for adequate density on the
back) but crepe d'amour also is nice; richer in
texture.
Thanks & regards,
Loris.
