Here’s the finished tie I showed you that I started on recently. I’m fairly happy with it but I have more ideas for the next.. Plus, I want to make the brown line (which is a resist) much darker. it’s quite fun. Thank you to our own Julia Parker for modeling it for me. Neither of us have any idea whatsoever how to tie a tie.

Here’s some silk painting I’m working on. It’s such an amazing medium. I’m going to make a tie for my husband. Check back to see the tie at some point. Right now, you’re seeing the brown line which is a resist which prevents the dyes from bleeding. Check out how the silk is stretched on an upside-down canvas on stretchers which I had lying around. Let me know if you’d like me to talk about technique on this.
