Interesting facts about painting with Gutta paint
Gutta lines serve as a separating agent between the individual silk painting surfaces. In coloured version they are visible contours, transparent gutta can be washed out without residue after silk fixation. When painting the gutta contours, care should be taken to ensure that the silk is not damaged by the Dosing tip "separation line" and that the gutta really soaks through the silk fabric so that no silk paint really seeps through this "separation line" later
Within a colored area you should work quickly with a Silk paint : This paint always spreads outwards and therefore dries darker at the edges of a drop of paint.
Paint contours
The contours of the pattern are transferred to the silk with the Gutta Contour Liner . Another gutta line is drawn around the silk scarf for the yellow edge. Let the contours dry for 24 hours
Paint and fix the coloured areas
Afterwards you can paint the individual colour areas with Silk paint as you wish. After the silk scarf has dried through, the silk can be removed from Tensioning frame
Finally, decorate the oriental scarf with tassels from Embroidery twist and with rhinestones according to your taste.
Worth knowing about the fixation of gutta and Silk paint

There are two possibilities, Silk paint to fix permanently on silk - iron-on or steam fixation. For both variants there are special Silk paint.
Stirrup fastening of silk
Silk paint for temple fixation penetrates the silk fabric 100% and is very brilliant. The silk is ironed from the back (approx. 3 minutes at Baumwol temperature) and thus fixed. To protect the silk, an ironing cloth or a permanent ironing foil should be used.
Steam fixation of silk
For this, the silk is carefully wrapped in absorbent Paper or fleece and fixed in a cooking pot or a special steam fixation device with steam.
