Fresh Silk






I came up with a new method to paint silk- and I am so pleased with the results!!
The three on the right are silk top with noil- makes a beautiful slightly textured thread... a little smoother than spun silk hankies. The four on the left are bombyx silk top- the top is a little thicker than a pencil roving, making it easier to draft and spin.

Pic to the left is a Crazy Isis Art Batt.

  1. Just gorgeous! Of course, your silk is lovely anyway :) The blues, purples, and greens at the top right is my favorite - will these be in the shop or club shipments?
