Here’s my salt resist recipe :
One cup Table Salt
Five Cups Boiling Water
I let the salt dissolve, took the pan off the heat, and submerged the painting. after a few minutes I removed the painting. Once it had drip dried a bit (and cooled), I hung it to finish drying.
The next day, when it was completely dry, I could see the salt crystals on the fabric. The photo shows how saturated the painting will be with the resist, with this salt recipe. So now I am ready to use my stencils and spray bottles with my dye.
Let's talk silk painting!
