Good Afternoon LonetteH, The ‘gutta serti’, or silk painting technique, is what is known as a ‘resist’ technique. The gutta, water-based or otherwise, acts as a resist, which prevents the silk paints or dyes to move from one area to the next. Some brands of gutta, can be coloured, but the gutta does NOT blend with the silk paints or dyes. I hope to release an online course for beginners in the fall. Look out for the notice, and thanks for your interest. Enjoy experimenting!🖌✨
Hi Clara: I applied gold gutta on silk that wasn't stretched and now when I stretch on the frame there's some wrinkling. Should it be done while the silk is stretched?
Good Evening Janet Gorelick, The silk MUST be stretched on the frame before any application is done. Remember, the silk filaments are woven, so one must be be sure that the gutta, which ever you choose to use, must go through to the other side, so as to prevent the flow of silk dye or paint from one side of the gutta to the other. Applying the gutta after stretching, will help to eliminate the wrinkling. Don’t forget to test on a small section of stretched silk. Hope this helps. Clara🌺🖌️
Hi, I tried the method thrice but after the steam, when we wash the cloth the colours are being washed too Wanted to understand where am i going wrong. Would be really great if you can advice/guide.
Good Morning Kamini Jain, I am sorry sorry for your experience. When the silk paints or dyes that you are using says ‘steam’ it does NOT mean with your home steaming iron or equipment. The steamer used is an Electric Industrial Steamer, which looks like a bullet. Please see image on:- www.dharmatrading.com This is where I purchase all of my supplies. As stated on my videos, I use Dye-Na-Flow silk paints, which are ‘heat-set’ with a hot iron. ( One brand of Seta Silk is heat-set in similar manner.) Therefore, one must use that industrial Electric Steamer to heat-set your colour to the silk. What brand of colour are you using? You may contact me again with photos of your work at:- clara@claradesigns.com Don’t give up! Hope this helps.🖌🎆
Thanks for your concern, I've just launched my beginners course! Links to it are in all my video descriptions. I will be making a video on it soon! Enjoy 🖌

Hi you liked my comment but not replied my query dear
Hi There, Does the gutta disappear or blend with the paint on the silk? Interested in online course.
Good Afternoon LonetteH,
The ‘gutta serti’, or silk painting technique, is what is known as a ‘resist’ technique.
The gutta, water-based or otherwise, acts as a resist, which prevents the silk paints or dyes to move from one area to the next.

Thank you SO much. Guess I'll have to do it again, but thankfully it's a pretty simple design.
@@janetgorelick You are very welcome Janet.
Yes, you must begin again, but I bet you won’t make that faux pas again!
All the best!🌺🖌️
