Did you use like a Dupioni silk? I have some Thai silk that I might have to try this on with watercolors. LOVE your beautiful results! :thumbup:[/quote
I love duponi, didn't like painting on muslin, I 'd be interested how the Thai silk works up.
I found the watercolor kept the hand of the silk,, where the acrylic, no matter how much mediumm you use, stiffens.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, although the acrylics were washable, and machine dryable, after a while, they did crack . By then, my son had outgrown the jeans, so it didn't matter. I have many projects on my plate right now, so it will certainly be awhile before I attempt this with the Thai silk, but I will definitely post it when I get that far!
