My time in Mexico allows me to explore all kinds of techniques in my indoor outdoor home and studio (not really mine). But this borrowed home is a terrific backdrop for creativity. I've been experimenting with the use of Gutta to fence in colour. I also mixed alcohol and water with the dyes and found it created a lovely dreamy effect. The colours merge softly and it's easier to paint using the alcohol.
I also started painting silk spaghetti tops. Ivan created some templates I could use to stretch the silk on. I am very excited about doing less silk scarves (too common) and creating simple but elegant silk clothing.
I am quite excited about leaving silk scarves behind and finding ways to make charmeuse silk simple wear. My first successful tank tops were a step in a new direction.
