My efforts with screen printing and breakdown have all been with thickened paste - either clear or with dye added. I am particularly impressed that the blue dye left your white silk pristine - even with squeegeeing across it. It is such a stunning piece and has a uniquely Australian feel with those dots and colours. Thank you for sharing the progress.<br /><br />HilaryHilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937719185098075609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740590643860193830.post-63683770776607883572009-09-20T18:59:09.395+12:002009-09-20T18:59:09.395+12:00Hi Rayna, I haven't done this before but felt ...Hi Rayna, I haven't done this before but felt it should work, which it did.
