I have been using Dharma products ever since I came
across silkpainting in California 14 years ago. I
began by making 20"x20" Habotai 10mm silk scarves, and
gradually progressed to the larger scarves, using
Tinfix dyes.
As I am continually experimenting with ways to
frame/hang my silk paintings, the neatly sewn edges of
the silk scarves aren“t so important to me now, as
they are often not seen. Now I paint on cut yardage
(still loyal to Habotai 10mm!), but now I use Jacquard
dyes and waterbased resists...Sennelier for clear, and
Pebeo for black. I love to travel, and most of my
inspiration comes from feelings, people and animals. I
am currently living in Norway and find it difficult to
find alcohol to dilute my dyes, because of the strict
laws regarding such matters.
Kind regards,
Jakki
