The Triangle Design

The last design technique you will learn for your start is the Triangle Design. The steps are similar to the  previous two works in "Random Design" and "Blossom Design".
The silk is only folded differently to create the triangle pattern.

Here an example of this design:

With the Triangle Design you have now a solid base for your first production of scarves.



We will spend the next few lessons by getting you ready to sell your products in a professional manner.



You will learn about the importance of your professional business appearance and the tools that help you to achieve it.


Now get few colors of silk-paints, maybe the three primary colors (blue, yellow and red) plus black and paint few scarves in the size of at least 8"x54". Test different color compositions using the three techniques you learn. Useful tool is a color-wheel to see how to mix colors for different shades and tints. This tool will also give you insight to the color effects you can expect when painting in the techniques you know where two colors merge to a new one.
Be careful with the use of black. The right amount creates very dramatic effects, but too much of it will darken the other color(s) in your design.
Use one brush per color if possible.

Once you feel confident in the painting process the excitement of this duet between you, the artist, and the silk will inspire you and fuel you with new energy.
Your life becomes truly colorful :)

Have fun, you are on your way!
