Writing on silk is not an easy proposal. The resist has to 'feel' like ink, but not spread like ink. Some precision is lost whenever writing on fabric, but the results are quite stunning. This piece was done twice because the 'red' (which I used to make the browns) in the first piece ran into my lettering. The size is about 35" x 35" and this is meant to hang on the wall as a piece of art.
