Making a Veil
Painted Veils
Streach all four silk
sides tight with streight pins.
Cover floor with panter's cloth to catch paint.
Now create!
Roll up in a white old sheet
for
stovetop steaming
to set color.
I got the sheets at second hand stores.
After 1 to 1.5 hours of steaming, unroll.
Put in washing machine to wash off excess dye on
cold gentle cycle.
Dry in dryer on low heat for 8 min.
Iron with low temp "silk setting" using steam,
or
spray with water bottle lightly to get out wrinkles.
Sew around edges with a zig zag stitch, or use an over lock foot to finish.
DANCE & CREATE!
