Welcome GOPI KANTA GHOSH, it is a pleasure to have you as part of this group and to Silk Painting Network. I was not able to open the documents regarding textiles...I would like to know how we can help in the documentation natural dyes... I do not have access to natural dyes and do not know how accessible they are but will help in anything that has to do with the improvement of our environment. The work displayed on your page ..batik...is this your work? Let us know how we can help....Mari

This is just a quick tip....mostly for those starting out ...it is good to take a photos of your work...sometimes you may sell the piece or you may give it as a gift ... it is great to have it documented .....this is the best way to build on your own work and get ideas for future projects...and see yourself grow.

Hi Muse ...sorry ...I did not realize that they were there ...I did go back and see what your questions were ....I did answer the one regarding ....soda ash...which is to be used with Fiber Reactive Dyes to make them permanent.

Hi Mari, I've asked a few questions but no response - am I posting in the wrong area? I'm a beginner with lots of questions, and happy to have found this talented group, but it would be great if someone would respond! :)

Welcome Lynn...you have inspired us all with your wonderful work. I am glad you are here because you are a good example of how in a short time you have put all your know-how into these beautiful shawls you paint. You have overcome minor issues with the actual dyes and the borders and now see that you have moved on to do paintings....all this in front of our eyes ...here at the Network and the group. This is the kind of motivation that we must all find in ourselves. We will learn with each piece we dye and paint. Anything that we label a "mistake" is really a "window of opportunity" to take it to the next level. Thanks for sharing with us your work on the frames because it puts the designs in perspective.
