As
a Line Resist
Dilute Silkpaint!® Resist
with water (adjust as desired),
or dilute resist with a small
amount of dye. Piece may be
painted with acid based or "French" dyes,
while Silkpaint!® brand resist
is still wet. Allow dye to
flow within design shapes to
meet resist lines. Do not paint
over resist lines.
As a Stop-Flow
Medium
Dilute 1 part resist
with 3 parts water and paint
areas of silk with a wide brush.
Allow to dry. With smaller
brushes, paint liquid dyes
on top of this 'stop-flow'
surface layering colors if
desired.
For Stamping
Dilute resist
with dye and spread with a
wide brush on vinyl or glass
surface. Apply stamp onto resist
surface and then onto fabric.
Other
Ideas
Paint "non-bleed" colors
by mixing dyes with resist
and applying with a stiff synthetic
brush. Silk screen or stencil
resist. "Sketch" with
colored resist using applicator
bottle. Draw open shapes with
resist and allow dyes to flow
in and out of shapes.
Finishing
and Resist Removal
Steam, heat
set, or fix dyes according
to manufacturers instructions.
Machine wash on delicate setting
(soap optional), and iron while
damp. Should the ironing bring
back any remaining resist particle
to the surface, gently re-wash
your fabric.
Although Silkpaint!® Resist
may be used successfully with
many dye products, test with
your particular dye brand for
compatibility. |
