Silk Organza Project : Paint on Silk Organza - Hand dyed organza

I always try to find the easy way to make patterns, even when I paint on fabrics. We, of course, need to paint in detail sometimes,  but in my case,  in most handmade fabrics for making practical items such as curtains, lights,  having pattern is more useful. I need to provide fabrics with coherent patterns to some people for their art work. So, I consider this point when I use a paintbrush.

I drew on Silk Dupioni Organza with colorful colors.  Fabric dyeing paints are  more watery than others, so it spreads on the fabrics. And there are also  slubs which are characteristic of Dupioni Organza..

I think it looks pretty good  but I should try it again to get more perfect colors. I drew just one side of fabric, so it was not painted evenly. In addition, it looked a little messy because of characteristics of spreading. I learned that  order of colors is important to avoid getting messy colors.

If I draw better,  this colorful organza  could be used  many purposes. Silk Dupioni Organza is stiffer than most other organza, so is usually easy to sew. This features can give the final product a crisp and formal appearance.  I'm gonna try again to get more perfect colors, so I'll be back with it soon :D
