Laudomia's listed in my copy of the Pitti's catalog, not shown though. It's
an older copy - I bought it about 5 years ago or so. I'm not home so I don't
know the publication date.

Hi,
I have tryed the tricks with your spit, it only works when the blood is
fresh, and for the salt it is the same.
The blodstain i got from the moskito wont come away, tryed many things.

Using meat tenderizer is a good way to get rid of a stain that's been
there for a while. The fastest, cheapest and easiest way to get rid of
blood immediately - before it stains - is to use your own saliva. If I
am sewing and get a blood drop on my work, I grab some thread, chew on
it for a few sec

We just used plain old table salt.
And does it matter that the 'stain' has been washed and dried

Investigate colleges that have a textiles department. It's not really a
conservation degree you want. Look into history of fashion or textile
history. Sounds like you need to take some textiles classes, but your
