Silk Painting with Rose Martin





Rose Martin came along to The Kings Lynn Embroiderer's Guild and spoke to us, showed some of her work and gave us a demo on silk painting. As she talked about her work she passed around her silk pieces and they were wonderful to touch and were very artistically done. When she came to the demo she got straight on in there and helped many of us dismiss the apprehension of drawing straight onto fabric. She had a lovely way. Due to time she showed us also how to cover up the ultimate mistakes when silk paints decide to jump a gutter barrier and reminded us of our colour wheel options too.
A wonderful re-introduction to silk painting for us.
Rose also opens her studio to the public click HERE to see.

Silk Painting Video

I have taken photographs of my silk painting yesterday and today
as I produced the piece of work. It is quite hard
to keep remembering to take photographs at each step.
I have then edited it and made it into a video for You tube,
my third now!!!
I used the Mandalas card as a starting point.
Enlarging the pattern and using silk painting techniques.
I will then make a quilted and embellished wall hanging with it.
Hope you like the results so far?
