Grow your Art-Biz Revenue.

Before we enter next chapter of learning additional techniques, I'd like to show you that you can already create larger revenue; right here in your current stage of your silk-art skills.

You can do so with the basic method you learned and its three design-variations:

• blossom
• triangle
• random

 -

With those three designs you have a solid base from which you can create countless products.

Example: 30"x45" banner/wall hanging "Romantic Garden"

• Oblong Scarves /Ponge 5 and 8, Crepe deChine, Crepe Satin, Chiffon , Gaze and more

• Square Scarves /Ponge 5 and 8, Crepe deChine, Crepe Satin, Chiffon , Gaze and more

• Small handkerchiefs for ladies 11"x11" for men 13"x13" on Ponge 8, Twill or Crepe Satin 
• Sarongs and wraps, festive shawls... 
• Table center-pieces: use heavier silk Ponge 8 or higher or Crepe De Chine
• Pillows : you can buy ready made silk pillows with a zipper or overlap-closure or with open seams to sew when you finished the painting.
• Wall hangings (see first photo above)
• Banners
• Drapes and curtains: you can paint on ready-made silk scarves-blanks in the respective size. The fashion in home-decor makes making drapes and curtains extremely easy with rods that have small clips attached to the rings, so no need for hollow-hem or loops.
• Greeting cards: using the scarves-material that did not meet your end-product-quality-expectations you can create many additional products. I am sure you already discovered the amazing images created in the silk with those three folding techniques - especially if you look closer. Pick out those little "images" (shapes and patterns) that inspire your phantasy. Take scissors and cut them out (with enough space around for attachment). These little abstract pictures can be matted or attached to a card-stock greeting-card-blank. (Use double sided adhesive in full spread or when using Passe-partout 3- or 2-fold cards just use few points to affix the silk firmly.) Think quality and think packaging: a clear box with 3 of your Art-Card Originals (with envelope) will make a wonderful present and a great product, which will get you repeat-customers. You will become a sought-after artist:)

This is 5"x7" 3-fold card with a small out-cut - I found the larger out-cut, the better(there are oval and rectangular types on the market in a variety of colors)

• You can use those small pieces for beautiful little framed picture. Choose a quality frame to honor your work.  (there is a plenty of picture-frames in stores in standard sizes with acceptable price).

• AND! The most rewarding product/service you can develop: you can teach others this simple, relaxing and enjoyable silk-art method; conducting your own workshops, community events, seniors classes and school projects.

Once you check out the silk-blanks that you can get through the many online-stores, you will discover plenty of supplies and your inspiration will be unstoppable.
