Looking further into the text side of things - uni library fantastic for books on alphabets etc.... found Cagliostro's magic alphabet, he was a C17th occultist who invented a set of characters for incantations etc...the characters are just beautiful.
Got me thinking about Victoriana, verging on gothic, dark metals, cushioned silks and so on. Their fascination with occult and spiritual matters comflicting with their renowned repression and strait-laced facade could work really well. I now need to find a way of transferring the text onto fabrics and metals.
To follow up:
Research printing and etching onto fabric/metal - methods, cost, using commercial companies?
