This design was traced from an image, then I used gold gutta and iron-fix silk paints to add colour. I really like how the colours blend into one another.
This loch side image was also created with the use of iron-fix silk paints, a hairdryer and some salt crystals. The line of the silk threads across the image makes it look as if it is raining! 
Finally we made necklaces and scarves. These were dyed together using steam-fix dyes, rock salt & a microwave! I picked three shades of blue for mine. The necklace was made with the help of polystyrene and pony beads & I am really pleased with the result!
oh the scarf and necklace are just stunning! I love the colour - so vibrant! Silk painting is on my list of things I'd like to try but as it's rather a long list I don't expect I'll manage it anytime soon....still, one day!
