That is much improved... superb work. I have only one suggestion... maybe a little light dirt on the towel on the right side of the sink from the workers who only do a light wash followed by a heavy wipe on the towel. I remember my Grandmother chastising me for that carelessness when I was much younger.

Stay low, keep quiet, keep it simple, don't expect too much, enjoy what you have.

You're right - indeed I changed the towel, because the old one seemed a tad to big and with a hint from Helmut I found a greyish prototype with a cypher in it; pictures to come.

Hello Volker, then I look forward to the picture, with the fresh new towel, in which some workers have cleaned the rest of their dirty hands.
Regards Helmut
the journey is the goal

Beautiful work. It seems those towels cost a pretty penny ....

Okay, I'm standing in the corner.

What did you use to make the towels?

I inkjet printed them to a special paper I researched for a customer some years ago. Task was a business card, which had to open up like a bud, when put in water. This paper has very few running direction which makes it foldable in all directions. If it is wet one can crumple it and carefully unfold it to get the result. Afterwards texture is very fabric-like. I did that before at the Haus Lohmann kitchen towel, but it seems back then I used white spirits instead of water, because the ink starts to bleed badly in contact with water. Using only black ink worked well in the end. the Blue towels have only some blue strips printed and then are dyed with blue pen ink.
