Back on safer ground and I've really enjoyed this chapter!

Silk paper made from silk tops, thread and beads.

Reverse of 52.
 |
| 54 |
Silk paper backed onto scrim with glue trials. Brusho ink was sprinked on top and sprayed with water - interesting but probably not worth repeating!
 |
| 55 |
Silk paper made from silk tops and silk rods. I like the texture that has been created with the silk rods lying flatter than the surrounding silk tops.
 |
| 56 |
Silk paper made from a piece of dyed silk top - beautiful mix of colours, very 'coral reef'! It would take stitching well.
 |
| 57 |
Silk paper from cocoon strippings. Very fiddly to spread out but has great potential.
 |
| 58 |
Cocoon stripping, Brusho inks and small pieces of painted pelmet vilene.
 |
| 59 |
Covered with silk throwsters waste and trails of glue.
 |
| 60 |
Dry (front).
 |
| 61 |
Reverse. I think this would work well appliquéd onto another fabric.
 |
| 62 |
Silk paper from silk throwsters waste.
 |
| 63 |
Layered with blue silk tops and stitched clingfilm pieces, sprayed with very dilute PVA glue. Again this is in my coral reef theme and could be developed with hand stitching.
