Comment faire Téléchargez nos instructions étape par étape
1 Assemble the silk painting frame:
To make a frame, assemble two sets of two sides - each side measuring 120cm.
2 Attach rubber bands to the suspension hooks and attach these onto the sides of the frame at the upper edge.
4 If you brush the silk with water first, then it is easier for the colour to run without drying too quickly (and forming blotches).
5 When it comes to colouring two pieces of silk, it's a good idea to count the drops of colour in the same volume of water. The colour here is very diluted. You can add more colour gradually if you wish.
6 Paint a flower in one corner of the wet silk with undiluted paint. You can draw soft lines towards the opposite corner.
8 You can outline the petals with water if you wish. This shifts the colour and highlights the shapes.
9 Wrap the silk in cotton fabric. Silk should not touch silk. Then wrap the fabric in aluminum foil, and put on a stone in a large pot with some water. Before putting on the lid on the pot, put a towel in-between to absorb condensation. Fix the silk for 1½ - 2 hours, then rinse and iron.
10 Cut off the three corners. See the drawing. Make straps from the off-cuts, sew together, turn and stitch. On the back, cut down approx. 10cm and sew a rolled edge: Fold over approx. 2-3mm, sew a small stitch on both edges. Pull the thread after a few stitches and the edge will roll.
