Session 8
It is
amazing how small you can fold a silk scarf! I have brought 20 of them and they
all fit in an A4 envelope. They are nearly one and a half metres long each and
we’ve decided to paint them in 3 sessions, so that the gutta can dry thoroughly
before we paint them and we haven’t got any smudges.
After applying
the gutta we dried it with a hairdryer.
One of the
scarves has a musical score on it. I wish I could read music, but even as a
pattern it looks fab.
Another
participant has decided not to use gutta and let the paint spread freely on the
surface. “I’m going free form!” The effect is like painting on wet paper,
rather beautiful, and blue and green look so well together.
Bernadette
missed the last session so shes decided to have a go with a sampler. The
result below looks like folk art from Croatia. I must show her some
illustrations next time.
We are all
admiring steady hands that can produce such wonderful pieces.
And the time just flies away.
