Gold Writing

Here is my latest silk.  It is not steamed yet, but I have high hopes for the final product.  The resist is an iron-in colored product by Dupont, a water-based gutta.  I put an extra small tip on the tube, which makes it stream in a smaller line, good for writing.  The only tough part about using the colored gutta is that you cannot tell if it has penetrated the silk completely, thus occasionally leaks occur.  That's the serendipity of silk painting.  Yes, the silk has a brocade design.                 11" x 60"   Sold!
