silk hydrangea scarf
Originally uploaded by Bella Cosa Art

So I finished painting the scarf. It has now dried for over 24 hours and is ready to dye set. This is a done with water and a special dye set solution, I have to wash it in the solution for 5 minutes, then rinse well. I then let it partially dry and iron while damp. It is now wearable, hand washable, at this point they become quite sturdy.
This is one of the favorites I have done, it looks very much like a watercolor painting and the colors are pretty.
