Stamping on Silk

Hi Everyone

I have been experimenting different techniques on silk lately. One of them is stamping. I have always been drawn to it, the challenge is to control the dye in a manner that you don't need a resist to do it. Well, after many hits and tries I was able to work out a process with which I am satisfied.



This is the painted piece, I am happy with the results...
It is now ready to be steam set and then washed .....  Well, I would also like to finish it with some beading at both ends of the scarf.

Will post a photograph of the finished scarf soon.......
