Welcome To Water's Edge Silks!

I learned this technique a few years ago in a class and have been hooked ever since. The very first time, I was so amazed at the beauty of how the dye just flows off the brush and onto the silk so magically. I hope that you enjoy the photos of the steps of painting on silk. Enjoy!

Drawing Your Design


Once you have found a design or template that you want to paint, you will lay the paper under the silk and trace with a tracing pen or a pencil. Be careful that you don't go through the silk with the point of your writing instrument. I always use a dull rounded point, but you can also purchase a silk writing pen for just this step.
