      Good Morning Angel CI Studio Art Gallery,
      Thanks for your kind words.
      I use Jacquard's Resistad water-based gutta, and Dye-Na-Flow silk paints, which you can purchase from Dharma Trading, which is based in California, USA.
      They also ship internationally, if you are not based here.
      You may also check out my TH-cam video explaining the Tools I use. Hope this helps.

    Hi love your work and the way you explain silk painting methods. My gutta always seems to leak. Which gutta do you use. ?

      @claraapplewhaitedesigns7463  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good Evening Nirja Mohunta,
      Thanks for your interest.
      1. Make certain that the stylus is securely in place on the spout of the applicator bottle.
      2. Your stylus may be too big, which allows the gutta to flow out quickly.
      3. The brand of gutta is very fluid, so a small size stylus, may be best; for example, .5 mm or .7 mm stylus.
      4. I use Jacquard's Resistad water-based gutta.
      I purchase all of my silk painting products from Dharma Trading, based in California.
      Check out their website, as they do ship internationally. Hope this helps.

  • @minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531
    @minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool I was wondering if you could do that or if it made the colors run but I guess it makes sense if you wait for each layer to dry before the next one . Could you use the guta sp? On already painted silk or does it have to be clean / virgin silk because it would be cool to have a color out line instead of white you just have to adjust your color pallet to fit what ever color you put down first.

    • @claramitchell746
      @claramitchell746 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good Morning again Minwell, you can use the ‘gutta’ onto your already painted silk. By doing this, it means that you plan to add another layer of paint over the ‘gutta’ again. BEWARE, that the more layers of colour you apply, the stiffer the silk will feel at the end of the process. That is; after the washing out stage. Hope this helps. Enjoy your projects!🖌✨

    But what happened to the gutta? Does it dry away by itself??
    Is there any way to cover the part where gutta is applied, with paint?

    • @claramitchell746
      @claramitchell746 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good Morning whoever you may be, thanks for your question. Once you have finished painting the entire scalf, it is allowed to dry thoroughly, then ‘heat-set’ with a hot iron. ( Remember, I use Dye-Na-Flow paints, which are heat-set with a hot iron.) The scalf is allowed to ‘cure’ for about 48 hours, at which time the washing out process takes place. This, is when the water-based gutta is washed out. ( I prefer to use water-based gutta, as it washes out in the hot water wash and Synthrapol.) The rest you can see in my ‘Wash Out TH-cam video.) Keep working!🖌✨

      @claraapplewhaitedesigns7463  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your question @jenniferknight66,
      I have been using water-based gutta since 2003.
      I find it much easier to work with, and it washes out completely at the end of the process.
      The gutta I use now is called Jacquard Resistad water-based gutta, which I purchase from Dharma Trading, California.
      Hope this helps. Do check out my Instagram page @claradesignsart Enjoy!

      Good Afternoon Mrinalini Sinha,
      Thanks for your kind words. I use Dye-Na-Flow paints, which are made in the consistency of dyes, and are quite vivid in nature.
      I use them because they are heat-set with a hot iron, and the toxicity is very low, so I can use them throughout the year in a well ventilated studio.
      I purchase them fro a company called Dharma Trading, in California.
      Check out their website, as they do ship internationally.
      I do hope this helps. Enjoy the process. More videos coming!✨🖌

      Thank you for your question Susan McMillan.
      I use Dye-Na-Flow silk paints, which are made to the consistency of silk dyes, and are quite vibrant!
      Unfortunately, the Chinese Suspension Hooks, are no longer available. Instead, one may use Spring Suspension Hooks, which must be used in combination with rubber bands, and steel pins; that is, if you're using a wooden frame, as do I.
      These tools may be purchased at Dharma Trading, www.dharmatrading.com . The company that is based in California, and works well with artists and crafts people.
      They also ship internationally, if needed. I do hope this helps, and continue to enjoy your silk work!

      I did find a company in Canada that says they have them. I may chance it and call them before I order . any washable, removable ink pins you like? Do you have a special brand of the resistant marker that you like?
      I’m reading as much as I can. But talking to someone that’s doing it is so much more helpful. Thank you for your time and answering. I appreciate it.

      Hi Yvonne, the colours I use are Dye-Na-Flow silk paints. I use a water-based 'gutta' when I am doing the silk painting technique, which produces the white lines around the motifs. Hope this helps.
      Ciao Yvonne, i colori che uso sono i colori per seta Dye-Na-Flow. Uso una "gutta" a base d'acqua quando eseguo la tecnica della pittura su seta, che produce le linee bianche attorno ai motivi. Spero questo sia di aiuto.

      Thanks for your question.
      I use Silk Habotai 10mm. I used to use 8mm when I first began painting on silk.
      You may purchase hemmed silk Habotai scarves or silk yardage, from Dharma Trading, in California.
      They ship internationally, and have a website of the same name.
      They are very helpful indeed.

    • @claramitchell746
      @claramitchell746 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good Morning Bela Kumar, I have never tried, because I design one-of-kind pieces from scratch. If you still wish to do so, you might think about your composition, and how dark or light the background will be. Be advised, that whatever colours you use on top of your coloured silk, will be absorbed by that colour, and not appear as they would on white silk. What you could do, is make a colour chart of the colours being used, on a separate piece of that coloured silk. This will help you with your colour choices. Hope this helps. Enjoy experimenting!👍🏽🖌

    Some tips. On applying gutta

    • @claramitchell746
      @claramitchell746 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good Afternoon Nirja Mohunta,
      For your interest.
      Are you asking for tips on applying gutta?
      Remember, I use water-base gutta.
      The size of the stainless steel stylus is important as well.
      I use .7 mm, .8mm and .9mm, .9 mm being the widest opening.
      Holding the applicator bottle at a 45 degree angle helps to prevent leaks, and you are also able to see when excess gutta may flow out of the applicator bottle. Hope this helps.🖌

      Good Morning Bela Kumar, I have been using Habotai 10 mm and sometimes, 8 mm; however, I prefer 10 mm. I have also used, silk crepe de chine, and silk charmeuse, for the various end-uses I was working on. NB. One must use silks which you can see through, especially if you are doing intricate designs. The more opaque the silk, the more free-flowing the design, in my view. That means, I will often use the watercolour silk techniques and direct painting techniques on the silk crepe de chine and silk charmeuse fabrics. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

      Hi there Manmohan,
      Look at the TH-cam video above carefully, as far as seeing the design through the silk.
      1. I use a black Sharpie pen to draw the design onto the bright white paper.
      2. The design on paper is stuck to the underside of your frame.
      3. The silk is attached to the top of your frame, and the gutta is applied.
      Hope this helps.🌺🖌️
