In the photo below 3 freshly dyed scarves are hanging on the line in my studio waiting to go through the second steaming in the stainless steel silk steamer.
Below is a photo of the Ravens/Crows under a full moon scarf still stretched in the rack drying

Hi Linda, what kind of resist do you use for your silk paintings?
Hi Nancy, I use Resistad from Procolour in New Zealand. This link will take you to an article I wrote about it for Silk Painters International: http://www.silkpainters.org/resistad.html
Let me know if this reply gets to you.
Be Well,
L.
Thanks Linda. The article was interesting but I'm wondering how the steaming of the resist doesn't break it down since it is water soluble. When I take my silks out of the steamer they are wet. Doesn't that degrade the resist?
Also, I've been meaning to join SPIN for quite awhile so referring me to their site reminded me and I've finally become a member. Thanks again.
