The intriguing Blossom Design

Now after you played the first time with the silk, you noticed the reaction of the color to the heat.

In the process of drying, the color pigments are traveling to the heat/surface and create (in our Random Design) patterns like leaves and other shapes that will call for your imagination and will bring the excitement everyone experiences with the very own first creation. 

Although the manual instructions describe drying with the heat-gun or hair-dryer, we in the manufacture of Art for Happiness, use the natural heat of the sun (for this reason I am calling this technique also the faux sun technique/ later on we will touch on the real sun-technique so you know the terminology and what is behind it).

Today I am showing you probably the most intriguing design in this technique - the Blossom Design.

This time the wet silk is arranged by twisting it to small or larger rosettes.

The complete manual Instructions can be found on my YouTube channel

Please play with colors and silk to gain experience as to how much paint to apply and the pattern you can create (use test pieces of silk to keep the cost down).
Have fun and feel free to ask.
The next post will show the last of the basic three designs for your first collections, the Triangle Design.
Have a great Monday.
