salt technique on dry Tinfix scarfMessage: I hand painted a silk scarf using Tinfix dyes. The piece is
done but I think it needs some texture. Do you think I could lightly mist the
scarf and sprinkle it with salt. I've done the salt technique before but the
fabric was still wet when I salted it. Do you have any advice?
Thanks
I think that this idea is worth a try. Since you have not set the dye yet, and Tinfix requires a considerably amount of steaming, it should still be completely unattached to the silk now, and thus able to move if you redampen it. Of course you do have to be careful to keep all of the dye from running together when you mist it. Maybe you should cut a very rough stencil out of cardboard or the plastic cover of a report folder in order to protect the areas you don't want to salt from the misting. Please let me know how it goes. (Please help support this web site. Thank you.) Posted: Sunday - July 06, 2008 at 09:54 PM
