RE: adire cloth

From "Art from Many Hands" (pp. 14-16) comes the following recipe

 

6 tbsp flour

1 tsp alum

2 cups cold water

 

Cook in top of double boiler, stirring until it becomes semi0-transparent
and thickens somewhat

Designs may be painted on fabric but the paste is easier to manage if cooled
slightly and put in a [plastic squeeze bottle.

 

Paste should form a raised line.beat in a little extra water if too thick,
cool longer if too liquid

Is the recipe in "Art from Many Hands"? I don't have the book with me, but
know it had an adire cloth activity in it.

Hi, I remember using a recipe for a fool-proof paste resist for adire cloth
that I found in one of the art teacher magazines years ago.
 
I saved that article and used the recipe for many years and now I can't find
it!
 
Does anyone remember? It used flour, alum and something else, I think. I
can't remember the measurements -- 2 tsp of alum?
 
Thanks!
