Design Enhancement with Resist Paint.

Let's have some creative time to relax from the business theory and learn design enhancement to the three types of design we learned in this workshop.
the process is the same for blossom-, triangle- or random-design.
Take a look at those three pictures. Each one shows the original first application as you already learned it and the enhanced part of the design.

In this application we are using the natural pattern created in the first basic process.

• We stretch the painted and ironed scarf on a stretching frame (embroidery hoop or special silk-painting frame)
• With the help of resist paint, we bring out parts of the existing pattern to create completely new impression.
• The outlined areas are filled with silk-paint using a special silk-painting brush.

above: Blossom design is being enhanced after using resist paint to outline blossom-like pattern.

above: 8"x54" ponge 8 scarf previously painted in triangle-design is enhanced with pearl-blue resist paint and light blue and green Javana silk-paint.

Above: 8"x54" ponge8 scarf in random design in small enhancement with gold resist- and red Javana silk-paint.

Above: that's how it's done.

You see, the process is very playful and simple. We only need additional tools and materials to do it.
The next post will provide you with information about the materials and tools needed.

Enjoy your day:)
