[15] Painting Silk Scarves with Alcohol Inks: Rainbow Technique #2

During the high holy day of Yom Kippur, the rabbi was wearing a gorgeous, colorful tallit. I kept looking at it thinking, “I can paint that.” So the next day, I did.
Here is how I painted a silk scarf with alcohol ink using what I call the Rainbow Technique #2. In this tutorial, I used a 100% silk scarf that's 8" x 54" and alcohol inks from Let's Resin (I am not an affiliate).As you'll see in this video, painting silk scarves with alcohol inks is a simple process. Give it a try.

Very pretty! 🤩 In the past, I painted silk too. I like to lay it on paper towels and use these towels for journal covers. 🤩

[@DebraAJason]

I have used paper towels under my silk as well and have saved them cause they looks so lovely. I have yet to use them for anything though. Thanks Denise.

[@issis666]

It is generous of you to share your technique ... beautiful work. Thank you.

[@DebraAJason]

Thank you for taking the time to watch. I hope you'll give this technique a try.

It’s wonderful
After completing ur colouring how long it need to wait until rinsed in salt and vintage r
Please specifically mention the ratio and time required to dry and iron until finished product 👍🏻

[@DebraAJason]

Once all the ink is dry on your scarf (it can take 20-30 minutes approximately) you can put it in the cold water/vinegar/salt solution. Soak it for 15-20 minutes. Then let it dray (another 20-30 minutes) before you iron it.

What is the ratio of the water, vinegar, and salt? Thank you!

[@tammydecaro5121]

Thank you for posting this! Can you do this on chiffon? I would love to do a beach cover up. Thank you

[@DebraAJason]

Tammy, I haven't tried this on chiffon so I can't answer you on how it would work. You could do it on silk as a sarong (I am actually creating a sarong for a client in Hawaii). If you try it on chiffon, let me know how it goes.

I’m a new subscriber. This silk scarf technique is wonderful! Do you have a video that describes the vinegar soak? I’m wondering what the proportions of water to alcohol are and how long you let it soak.

[@DebraAJason]

Funny you should mention that Barb as I've been thinking I should create a video about the vinegar soak, but I have yet to do so. I do it intuitively meaning I fill my bathroom sink with cold water and pour in some white distilled vinegar (approx. 1/2 to 1 cup) and I add iodized salt (approx. 1-2 tablespoons) - rarely do I measure it. I do one scarf at a time (unless I'm using same colors on multiple scarves). After the scarf dries, I iron it with a steam iron and then repeat the process one more time. Hope this helps.

Is this a shear silk ?

[@DebraAJason]

It's thin Karen, but not totally sheer. Check it out here: amzn.to/3SlhyGF
