Product Description

Made in China of silk and bamboo. The silk is ready to be painted, stamped, or colored using any kind of paints, silk paints (not dye) with resists, inks, markers, or pens. Note: immersion or other dyeing is not recommended as the fans don't hold up well when soaked in liquid or washed. Use your imagination and create wonderful useful art!

While it's not dyeable by immersion (I wish they were), paint and marker both take on these -- I was amazed to see how little the Fabricmate markers ran. They hold up fairly well to abuse also

A quick dip in alum, let dry, marble, (the bamboo picks up the paint as well!), let dry press and carefully fold and press again. It took some extra time to heat set, but they turned out beautifully! I am ordering more because all my friends want them to match their outfits too. Women of a certain age find these very attractive!

So much fun to paint. They are a little fussy when it comes to getting wet. Works great with neopaque and Lumiere paint by Jaquard.

my students loved them! Paints are better than dyes as water loosens the glue holding the silk on the bamboo.

I used setasilk paints on the fan and it doesn't shut well. The paints also ran down the bamboo struts, despite using gutta and did not flow well on the silk. Will use with another medium next time.

disappointed - after using very little paint on fan & had consulted with you as to what paint to use - fan does not shut properly, you have to work the pleats back in place to close.

This fan is not as hefty a silk as formerly, and doesn't open/close as well as one might wish, but where else can one get a plain silk fan, ready to paint?
