Neckerchief

Colors shine on this densely woven Pongé 08 even more intensely, the shawls and scarves can also be painted, dyed and tie-dyed. Even Plissé-techniques and permanent three-dimensional Shibori-effects work on this more stable and firm silk perfectly.

This neckerchief was not stretched but only dyed in a shallow bowl. For that, the silk was dampened and while laying flat, pushed together relatively evenly. Afterward the steamfixable silk paint was dropped on; through that the colors run in all directions and wonderful nuances are created. The sharp structures were created through sprinkling on coarse salt grains. For this the paint shouldn't be too wet otherwise the dry edges, which are so typical for the salt technique, won't show.
After that the neckerchief was steam fixed.
