Hand Painting Silk - Four Jewish Tallit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 ноя 2024
- A Jewish tallit is a traditional garment that has been an important part of Jewish culture for centuries. Worn by Jewish men and women during prayer (depending on the branch of Judaism), the tallit is a rectangular shawl made from wool, silk, or cotton, and features fringes, or tzitzit, on each of its four corners. The tzitzit are a physical representation of the mitzvot, or commandments, and serve as a reminder to keep them. The only requirements of Jewish tallit construction are that it be a shawl long enough to be worn over the shoulders, as a garment and that it not be made of a combination of wool and linen. Some come in the form of a shawl worn over the shoulders and some are more like a cape, falling down the wearer's back. Many women choose to wear silk tallit, which are lightweight and often decorated with gorgeous detail. Whether you're Jewish or simply curious about silk painting this episode is for you.

Jacquard Acid Dye is a type of dye specifically designed for use on protein fibers such as silk, wool, and feathers. Silk painting with Jacquard dye is a fun and creative way to add color and design to a scarf, regardless of what you are using the scarf for. Here are the steps to follow:
Gather materials: You will need a silk scarf, Jacquard dye, paint brushes, a dye safe container for mixing the dye, and a plastic tablecloth to protect your work surface, and a frame to keep the scarf OFF the table. Unlike what I did. Otherwise you will have a colorful table that is probably toxic. Don't lick my table.
Prepare the dye: Follow the instructions on the Jacquard dye package to mix the dye to the desired color. Fill a container with the mixed dye and have your brushes ready. I highly suggest mixing the dye outside. Use gloves. IF you put hot water in a container, and then close it, and shake it, IT WILL POP OPEN AND SPRAY DYE EVERWHERE WHEN YOU OPEN IT. I did this. It was a mess. Don't do this. I am doing highly saturated dye, adding citric acid to it and no I don't feel like my ratio of water to dye powder is correct. Or maybe it is. I highly suggest contacting Jacquard and doing some math with them depending on your project.
Protect your work surface: Cover your work surface with a plastic tablecloth to prevent the dye from staining. I did not do this. I highly suggest doing this.
Apply the dye: Start by making a few practice strokes on a piece of paper to get a feel for the dye. Then, using your brushes, begin applying the dye to the scarf, starting with the lightest colors first. Work from one end of the scarf to the other, making sure to keep the dye from touching the other sections of the scarf. Or overlap with all the same color but different shades. This is my favorite way with dealing with color spread.
Blend colors: To create a more interesting design, you can blend different colors of dye together. Use a clean brush to blend the colors together on the scarf.
Add details: Once the base colors are applied, you can use a finer brush to add details and highlights to your design.
Leave the scarf on the frame and air dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
Roll the dried scarf in a tube of paper and hang it above a steamer inside some duct work covered in a towel.
Wet the dye by steaming the scarf for a few hours I am finding a hat steamer and HVAC tubing and ladder to be perfect for this.
Rinse the scarf. I am using my washing machine on super gentle and each scarf is done individually. As soon as I figure out how to use less water, I will tell you.
Jacquard Synthrapol and Jacquard Permanent Dyeset Concentrate are both products used in the dyeing process for textiles, but they serve different purposes.
Jacquard Synthrapol is a textile detergent used for washing out excess dye from fabric after dyeing. It is specially formulated to remove dye from the fibers without affecting the color, and it helps to keep the dye from bleeding or fading.
On the other hand, Jacquard Permanent Dyeset Concentrate is a product used to help set the dye and make it colorfast. It is added to the final rinse water after the fabric has been dyed and washed with Synthrapol. The Dyeset Concentrate helps to bond the dye to the fibers, resulting in a more stable and colorfast dye job.
In conclusion, Synthrapol is used to remove excess dye, while Permanent Dyeset Concentrate is used to set the dye and make it colorfast. Both products are important in ensuring that the final dye job is vibrant, long-lasting, and of high quality.
Follow the directions on the following three bottles (in this order) and finish the scarf!
1. Synthrapol
2. Permanent Dyeset Concentrate
3. Milsof NB Textile Softener
With these simple steps, you can create a beautiful, vibrant, color fast and unique silk-painted scarf with Jacquard dye. Have fun and let your creativity run wild!
They look beautiful. I enjoy learning about Judaism from your videos as well as all the awesome sewing content.
You make screen printing at home look so easy. I want to try this for repro vintage fabric. If I’m successful I’ll send you some lol!
Shocked. Floored. Stunned. I was expecting this to be a giant mess that was not going to work at all.
Lovely! I am not exactly sure of their purpose but they are truly lovely. And the screen printing was really cool!
Thank you! A *very* simple answer: A tallit is a prayer shawl worn by Jewish people during morning prayers and other religious ceremonies.
@@NoraMurrell lovely! I hope you had a lovely Passover.
You are doing what I have been planning in my head!! I have done silk screening on fabric in the past. I have knitted a tallit and cross stitched the atarah. I now have the cut velvet blanks and I am planning on dying them. Have you ever tried procrion fabric dye as opposed to the Acid? That is what I had planned to do. I would love your opinion. Thank you!! I know this is a year old but I hope your are still checking!! Sharon
Beautiful! I might be crazy...but could one 'pin curl' a piece of fringe, stitching by hand to hold it (instead of a pin), then snip the hand thread? You are such a brave lady! Love your content.
Welllllll, I've been rolling this around in my head. I'm tempted to take ribbon and set it to the bottom part of the fringe and wash the dye out that way. I feel like the wash is rather gentle and this might prevent issues????? I also like the pin curl idea. Like..... All that needs to happen is less agitation to the fringe. So stabilizing it is the answer. I bet someone already has an answer. No way am I the first.
These came out so well 😮!! I wonder if you could batik silk as well (maybe not since wax would have to be used and it could damage it) but you did such a great job with these. Take care ❤
I have no idea, but wow am I interested in doing batik. Batik is beautiful!
@@NoraMurrell It is! I really love what you can do with it though I've only done it once...I really should do it again to be honest!
