Today, I was involved one of our Art Day.
I did the Japanese silk painting!
Japanese silk painting was run by Katy who has her business called Japan Crafts.
She has lots of knowledge about Japanese textiles and she goes to Japan twice a year for business.
This is how we do it.
We will be given some fabric paint and Japanese silk painting sheet.
Then, really, we colour them in.
Good thing is about this golden outline, it stops the colour goes over, so the finish will be so nice and neat.
Now, these are the picture of half way through.
Can you see....?
Lovely colour coordination!
Blending, fading... You will thoroughly enjoy the texture of silk.
You could also have a lovely effect using rock salt, too.
After you put some paint, you then put some rock salt on the top and wait for 10 min.
You will see that these rock salt absorb some paint, so this makes the picture some sort of shining affect.
Then you can make it into a greeting card.
Hand made card... Sounds nice, isn't it!
This one is so beautifully done!!!
Japanese silk painting was so calming, relaxing... really beautiful. We had such a good time.
Every students were so engaged and really happy enjoying this painting.
Thank you, Katy.
