[Cob] clothes clay slip?

[Deborah Terreson]

Hmmm. Could be a new resource!

Try using different fibers.. my thoughts are that the cotton may  
degrade over time.
A poly/cotton blend may have more durability and a full nylon may be  
indestructible.
Or it may be just the opposite or you may see no difference at all.
Can't hurt to find out. Let us know what you discover.
