Datura Flowers on Silk

Hi Everyone

Sorry, I have been busy with various projects and was not able to post anything recently. Well, the news is that I have just finished a painting on silk. I used my watercolor techniques, and basically it looks like a watercolor but it is not..... interesting!!!!!.hmmm

I am planning to mount it on canvas, once it is steam set. In that way it will be easier to handle without any glass on top. I will then coat it with a sealer to make it waterproof.......
Just trying out new stuff

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.......

Something for Everyone

I have been painting on Eyeglass covers made out of Charmuse silk in the past. Recently I came across the same made out of Jacquard silk. Painting on them was fun, and they came out beautiful too. I am thinking of sticking to these from now on.

Wisteria Flowers

I have always been drawn to these beautiful flowers. Their color, form and the way they hang on the branches, always take me to a dream world. Recently I was requested by a customer to paint a scarf with Wisteria flowers for his mother. They have them all over their house and that his mother loves them. So, I got my reference material together and started working on it. As it was the first time I was painting them on a scarf, it was a challenge. Well I loved the finished piece and would like to share it with you. Please give me your comments.....
