We had fun exploring what the possibilities were for screen printing on silk and nylon organza. We also wanted to use discharge paste for some images. Discharge paste does not work on the man made fibers, but it is great on the silk organza. Then someone said let's put paint into the discharge paste. Volia! What great results we got. Next week there should be some show and tell of the results students were getting.
Speaking of next week we will have a schedule change and continue with the organza for those who were not ready this week. Those who wish may also start on their animals or birds. I showed the process with the rabbits on the first day, but we will review. If that is the direction you are planning to go, bring your patterns, fabric scraps, and either white or black cotton to build the applique on. Plus the background you painted.
I am going off to spend the week with grandkids at two houses, and won't be back until time to teach a class at Ginger's on Tuesday night, so I won't get anything new done this week. Hopefully you will. See you next Wednesday.
WOW that really is beautiful. Maybe I do need to come over! Thanks again for teaching us how to dye scarves. Sara S.
