Silk Painting Process-Texas Bluebonnet
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 года назад
By request of a friend, I made a time-lapse video while painting the bluebonnet using the silk sizing technique. I can’t tell you exactly how many hours it was, my best estimate is 10-12 hours spread out over two days. Keep in mind, this is only the painting part of my process… Before the video I washed the silk, ironed it, cut it to size, built the frame, stretched it, applied magic sizing, dr...

Hi, can you tell me about that gorgeous background wallpaper?
How do you "SET" these dyes...so they will not RUN when you wash them?
BEAUTIFUL So Relaxing to watch you do this. ASMR
I started a class for children in dyeing silk fabrics and I wanted to consult you: I have 30 children in the class. A weekly meeting. And I purchased 30 meters of fabric, four types of colors of silk and three types of borders. I thought it would be enough for the 18 meetings I committed to in the circle. But no, I almost completely ran out of colors and half of the amount of fabric after only three sessions we created. That means I have 15 more meetings. Is it possible to purchase a large amount of silk dye? And how can I save on pouring the colors for the children? If I pour on a plate then it's wasted, because I can't return it. So I pour into glasses. But still, every child asks and sometimes spills on someone...and it turns out that they use much more than I planned. I have another question for you: what ideas do you have for the creation? I made a scarf with them. I made a napkin and made a picture with them. In the next lesson I plan to make a lampshade with them. What else can be prepared next? I thought about a cover for the eyes and a small pillow, but that requires me to sew the piece for them. And I'm not that good at sewing. Thank you very much for the answer
Hello, I am an art teacher at a school and I want to make a painting on silk fabric with the children. I wanted to ask after we draw the picture when the canvas is stretched with pins on top of a wooden frame and we release it - how will I present the work to the children? How can the artwork be hung on a wall?
After you set the silk paint, there are multiple ways you can display the silks. When I silk painted with my students, I would either pin the top two corners on a bulletin board with white paper or hang twine/thin rope on the hall wall and use mini clothes pins to hang the silks.
What brand of dye do you recommend
Hi! I use both jacquard silk dye and DuPont.
הנחת את בד המשי על השולחן ולא מתחת אותו שיהיה באוויר, תחמת מסגרות עם תוחם משי רגיל?
I ironed the silk to freezer paper. No frame needed.
Oh, this is stunning. Thank you so much!!!
Nice technique s🎉❤
Don’t understand, what medium of colors are you using??? Is it just inks? What kind of inks?? What are their names??? And what is their base??? Water? Alcohol? What kind of inks please
Hello. I am using Jacquard Green Label Silk Dye that is specific to silk fiber and are steam set. There are 20 different colors to choose from. You can find more information on the dyes and their base if you search them.
🌞🌞🌞
🌞🌞🌞
Can l use any other fabric too like other than silk..cotton or satin organza etc
For other types of silk, absolutely - however the reaction may look a little different. As for cotton, I am not sure. I only work with silk, but you could experiment on some cotton scraps to see if it works. Please share your results if you do!
If this were a large scale, say for 3.5 yards. Would you stretch this without anything under, also is this steam fix?
These are Jacquard Green Label Silk Dyes, so yes, they are steam set. For a large yardage you can either mount it or stretch it and get the same results.
Thank u
Do u use special brushes?
Not here. Just watercolor brushes.
So on the wet on dry I can add to a dry scarf with just water? Before u set the piece? I really love the idea of texture?
Yes, this is one of my favorite ways you can add textures and shadowing.
Thank you for this? Question on a large scarf do u use a bowl and dip the silk? Do u use very large brushes or just dip?
I never dip. I paint my scarves just as you see in the video.
Just beautiful!
Can you please add a list of set up stuff including what steamer you recommend to the Description?😁👍
I have a blog post that goes over all of my supplies www.rootedexpressions.com/silk-supplies/blog-post-title-one-ync7h-l6b3w
Beautiful techniques! Thanks for the info! Marker as a resist sounds interesting!
looks like so much fun!
Wow! These are great examples! Thank you!!
You haven’t described your set up. Are you laying your silk directly on top of paper towel? What grade of silk? Are you using silk paints? How have you masked off the squares?
I would like to know that too. Also, did the salt dissolve or did you brush it off? You said you were going to come back to it but you didn't. Thanbks
Also, do you spray the silk with water first or is it dry?
I’m using 8mm silk. I stretched it in freezer paper and use my Marker Resist technique to hold the dye. For this video I am using Jacquard green label silk dyes. I have an online class on my website site that teaches all of this and more.
I brushed salt off after it was dry and the silk was not wet. I only added water to what you saw in the video. Great questions! 😊
@@rootedexpressionsstudiowhat is marker resist technique
Which colors u r using?
Hey Laura….What are the brands of dyes to be used for silk dyeing … need to find the appropriate dye type for silk
In this video I use Jacquard Green Label.
Perfect
Nice idea. Anybody knew what to use for precise painting on silk?
No, she wants you to sign up for an online course.
Absolutely beautiful!
Scrolling to see of someone asked, but dont see it. Forgive me if this is a repeat. The salt disolves, right. But does it change the silky feel. or flow of the fabric?
The salt doesn't fully dissolve, you just brush it off when it has dried. When the dye/paint is set then any remaining salt will wash out when you wash the silk.
This is a great video! Thank you for inspiring me!
Dear Laura .. would you be able to direct me on “how to paint on dual silk layers” for a 3D image … I can’t seem to find any tutorials … Pamela Glose had one years ago … RIP sweet woman … but I was no where near that stage in my painting. Thanks … Bev
Hi Terry. I only have a little bit of knowledge about the 3D silks. I know the bottom layer is habotai silk and the top layer is silk gauze. Karen Sistek and Patricia Pope would know her process.
What did you use for the resist?
She used melted beeswax. She mentions in the very first part of the video, and explains her process.
Not sure where the beeswax comes from. I do not use that. I used marker.
Wonderful. Sadly there is no link to the home page.

Lindas técnicas 💕 a tinta é fixada a vapor? Ou é a ferro quente de passar roupa? Beijos aqui do Pará Brasil para vc 🥰🥰💕💕
Hello all the way from Brazil! 🤓The dyes are steam fix. The silk paints set with an iron do not create the same techniques as the steam fix.
How long did it take to talk with your guttural voice Must have practiced for ages
Too good
lovelyyyyyy
Can you please tell when you did wet on dry after a green wash ! Was the silk fully dry or it was wet or damp?
The green was fully dry when I put the wet dye on.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio when i fully dry the fabric and then pour drops of clean water .. nothing happened . Why ?
@@ramshailyas4512 Are you using silk PAINT or silk DYE? I use silk dye, so it will reactivate anytime I get it wet until I set the dye by steaming. Silk paints are typically an acrylic paint, so they will not react the same once they are dry. This might be the reason.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio oh i seee yes i use silk paints . Thank you.. and last question .. which fabric are you using ?
@@rootedexpressionsstudio i will catch you on instagram and show what i created
Thanks for the really great vid! What are you using behind the silk? Some kind of backing? x
I mounted the silk on freezer paper.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio ah I see. thank you :)
What os the difference between silk paint and normal basick fabric colour paint
one is fabric dye, the other is fabric paint. Dye actually penetrates the fiber and paint just sits on the fiber. In my opinion, paint can sometimes make the silk feel stiff.
Hi after making your dye shades do you dilute them. As I feel they get stuck and do not move to bled well can you pl help thanks
It depends on the color, if I want it lighter I will dilute them. I will wet the silk before applying the dyes so the dyes will move better on the silk.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio thanks
@@rootedexpressionsstudio how do you dilute them with alcohol or sizing?
Which colours are these?
I used Jacquard Red Label Dyes in Apricot, Magenta, Cyan, and Kelly Green.
what dye are you using?
Hi Madeline, I am using Jacquard Green Label Silk Dyes.
Jacquard Green Label Silk Dye
It's good 😊
I paint on ladies shirts
I like you painting
How do you set the ink?
Hi Eva, it is silk dye so it has to be steam set, I have a silk steamer that I use to set the dye. There are other silk paints that are heat set so you do not have to use a steamer, like Dye-na-Flow.
Hi Eva, I am using silk dyes, not an ink. The silk dyes are steam set so I use a stovetop silk steamer from Dharma Trading Company to set the dyes. There are silk paints such as Dye-Na-Flow that you can use where you set the dyes by using a hot iron. You can also use alcohol ink on silk but I do not have the background knowledge on how to set it.
Cool methods! Do you use 5 momme silk fabric? And do you use some viniger before the dye ? Thank you 😊😊
I use 8mm for wearable art and 16mm for fine art. I have never used vinegar in any of my silk projects. I know some people include it as a part of the process, but for the dyes and processes I use, it is not necessary. Hope that helps! 🙂
@@rootedexpressionsstudio wow! Thank you so much for the information 🙂🙂
