Thank you!

Dharma Trading in the U. S. and G&S dyes in Toronto.

Thank you!

I have used sofa ash, but it turns out with this technique it’s not necessary. The time and warmth are important for setting. It’s just as well because sod’s ash is hard on the silk fibre.

I can identify - it’s so fun to paint the papers. The hard work comes with the collage creation but it’s very rewarding!

Enjoy!

You’re welcome 😊

Glad it was helpful!

You're so welcome!

The stripe technique won’t work as well because the fabric is much thicker and the dye won’t go through all those layers. it may work with say, 2 or 3 layers. There is a second technique where you scrunch up the fabric to put the dye on. the result is a bit different, but at least you can make sure the dye gets everywhere. It’s in my video here: ruclips.net/video/eulZDg6fM88/видео.html. Also make sure your satin is actually silk and not polyester!

Thank you!

Yes, it doesn’t have added iodine.

Thank you! 😊

It’s a technique that is typically used with watercolour, ie, watery paint but watered down acrylic may work. You can try different papers. It’s very much a trial and error thing and really, you can’t tell what paper will work until you try it.

Thank you so much 😀

Glad you liked it!

Very interesting - I wonder if he did it in a similar way?!

Thank you so much!

Sounds like fun - You should check out my videos on paper dyeing and painting techniques.

Thanks, I’m not sure what I can do about that - do you mean the subscribe button?

@@Susancorbinart the like button. Where you give a thumbs up

As far as I can see it’s working, it may be something on your end. Google ‘RUclips like button not working.’

I used fibre reactive dyes. If you look at my channel there is a video showing how to mix them. You can get them from pro Chemical Dyes or Dharma Trading. They’re both online.

Thank you

Damp with water - I wet the silk then roll it in a towel to remove the excess water.

Point taken. I will keep that in mind!

It’s difficult to say how long. I have used mine for a couple of months mixed up, but they do weaken a bit. For the strongest colour it’s best to use in a week or so.

Fibre Reactive dyes. The process of how to prepare them is in another video ‘Mixing Fibre Reactive Dyes’

You can but you may have to use a slightly different dye recipe and timing for cotton. Go to dharmatrading.com and check out their instructions for tie dyeing with fibre reactive dyes. That would work with the process in the video even though no ties are used. They have excellent instructions and all the supplies you could ever need!

Thank you!

I used a moss green and turquoise or aqua for painting the leaves. The scarf was dyed light green. You can use any dye that is for animal fibres for the overall colour. For paints, I use either Liquid Colors from G&S Dyes in Toronto or Pebeo Setasilk.

Thank you! Hello from Nova Scotia Canada!

Please see this video for info on the dyes : ruclips.net/video/mYPo5aFNLNQ/видео.html

Go to dharma trading online. I use their fiber reactive dyes with the cold water method. Generally You can’t get thes get these dyes retail.

I have a folding wicker screen that I take to shows and I hang some originals and prints on that. The extras, I put in baskets.

Are they washable after they are dried? What do you add so the colors don’t get washed out?

There is nothing added to fix the dyes - it is the time (minimum 6 hours) and keeping the scarves damp by covering in plastic that fixes the dyes. Then they have to be rinsed to remove excess dye- then they can be washed in warm water any time.

It is in this video ruclips.net/video/mYPo5aFNLNQ/видео.html
