I love , love, love soy wax! I usually wash outside so I have no experience with clogged drains. It is so easy to wash out. Only challenge we have had is on chiffon. Sometimes..only sometimes... it leaves an oily halo...you must wash it in hotter ...
Sandy, I am interested that you are using soy wax. Because of the fumes and toxicity associated with parrafin wax and the 50/50 combination with beeswax I am interested in transfering to using soy wax. Could you tell me if there are any difficulti...
Well Joanna, I am based in the UK and don't order from Dharma trading. I have a locaal supplier for Dupont products and find them outstanding. The solvent based Gutta is OK. Does not give out too much odour. My students love it too and tell me tha...
If you want a fine line do not dilute. I add water or dye if I want a more flowing line. It will spread so if you want a very difinite line some other product may work. My current work it very free flowing so I sometimes put down a base coat of dy...
Hi Sandy, I'm curious about the Presist - just looked it up and it seems like a wonderful medium! Have you found in your experience that in order to create a thin, fine line, that the presist needs to be diluted with some water to achieve the prop...

I like dharmas pre-sist. It is easy to work with non-toxic and washes out with ease. Plus you can work it when painting to disolve it to creating lost and found edges. Appling it to wet silk to give a really unique look. Seems the others have fume...

- Thanks Francine fpr your welcome! Alas the painting you mention, is no silk but acryl...
In every category though, you can look for paintings which have in the heading (topleft) "zijde" which is ducht for silk.
As you may have seen on the opening page, I intend to publish a english version of the site, but it appears to be a real challenge, lol!

Patti Van Horn said… - Hello, Came to the end of the salt experiments. It created a big mess but was fun! Still working on either not drowning the salt or putting it on when it is too dry to work. A couple of things were kind of interesting. Think I'm running about a week behind. Going to start the watercolor this week.

Mary Hertert said… - thanks for sending this along. I've forwarded the link to some other silk painters I know. I am expecting this to be a wonderful forum for a wide variety of fiber-related topics especially silk painting.
