Silk Scarf Tutorial Painting with Alcohol Ink

[@Luckyladyll]

I would like to learn more about your technique and thought process, but I can't speed read through the materials and the music is much too irritating to get through. I would love to see a video where you explain the resist methods and why you chose this one. Have you tried any decolorants on silk?

It's probably me, not seeing it, but I cannot see a link to scouring the material.

What are the three colors on the left? One is plum or purple. What are the other two. I have the three on the right. Do you try to line up the stencils each silk fold?

[@christinasperos160]

When you apply resist are you lining up the resist areas so when you fold the scarf and apply the AI it’s hitting leaves on layers underneath.

Very irritating when you only have the instructions up for a second!

Beautiful scarf!! 😍 Do all alcohol inks work on silk? I only see ink for epoxy projects. Do these work on silk?

[@studiodecoupage2121]

yes, I used JAcquard haboutai silk scarf

[@ReneeW59]

Very pretty. I had wondered about using masking fluid. Does it wash right out in the water or did you have to rub it off. Cold water, right?

[@studiodecoupage2121]

Yes, it came off easily in water . I did not recall having to rub it.

I looked up material costs on making a scarf. I calculated $46 is that correct?

How do you set the ink so it doesn't fade?

[@studiomanik51]

alcohol ink doesn't dissolve in water because it's alcohol based. So even if you wash it in water or mild detergent . The color doesn't fade.

@@studiomanik51 I just made one in greens yesterday and when I rinsed it out in cold water the color kept running out. I got quite a bit of fading.
