Silk 'Paper' Creations |
Silk
'paper' is a medium that can be used in almost any aspect of fibre art. Silk is
lustrous, slightly transparent, and has a beautiful light to it. Silk is easy
to dye - there is nothing quite so exciting as a medium for color.
Since the publication of Take Silk, Judith Pinnell's first book, which explored the use of tussah silk tops in making silk 'paper', lustrous bombyx silk tops and silk throwster waste have become available as mediums for fibre art. these recent additions are featured in Silk 'Paper' Creations for the Fibre Artist along with a number of innovative approaches that extend the use of silk 'paper' to new heights. Newcomers to silk 'paper' will take up the challenge to create. Those already smitten will find additional avenues to explore.
