Steaming

Once I decided to work for a year on silk paintings, I decided the only sure way to success was to invest in a steamer.  This is a commercial chimney which is about seven feet tall, so tall I need to keep it in the garage.  
When four or five silks are painted, they are wrapped in newsprint and steamed for about 90 minutes.  That is not the end of the process, though.
This piece is my '70's silk.
It is 35"x35" and looks nice of my studio wall.
