In silk painting we used a different type of dye made especially for silk painting called Jaquard Silk Dye. The silk is stretched in a frame. Then you paint on the dye. You can either wet it, which allows the dye to spread more, or dry which is a little crisper. For this I tried to make flowers first but they came out terrible, so I painted the stripes over top of it. I really actually hate this piece, but it was my first silk piece.
