hello again to all...
i just realized that i miss one of question...some how i did not receiv the zahara mail !!!
i am very sorry for that... .. .
please feel free to contact me and if i could help...it will be my pleasure !
as for my works : i use 12mm , 16mm silk satin also habotai or cine silk.
i prefer working with javana ironing colors for wear item's (scarves , pillows , dress...)
as for painting's i use the jacquard green tag. the diffrent of javana and jacquard is the deepness strong bright colors in jacquard.
the javana are more pastels but easy to work with !
i paint and draw only on very tight cloth by pins...that way i can get the possibility as like the paper drawing.
i use only javana gutta for the outlines...let it to dry for about 2~5 hours.
try not put to much colors at ones...if i need dark colors i make them at first befor i start painting...some time i paint more then one in the same location...but the color wont expanded much into the silk. so it is little harder and take more time !
i try to work fast as i can and let the colors and the silk do the final resolt.
some time i use water and alcohol as well salt.
about the salt...i like to mix diffrent size of salt ...it give more result with diffrent shapes.
i think it is very important to keep clean befor i start work.this way i dont have any mistake.
also try not to think about the colors infront of me...just continu with the first idea...in side my head! that way i can work fast...if i wont work fast with the colors...there will bee more mistakes.because the colors spread and dry very quickly.
some time i use water before i paint...but it is very hard because of the water get dry before i reach the spot.so if i use some more water it will spread to the place i paint...and it will be a border line between the colors.if you like this lines it mybe fun...but i prefer to control this part...
as long i work fast i get the better result.
again ill be very happy to help ...
