This kit really makes it easy to start silk painting. All you need to get is a frame and some safety pins, and the instructions guide you the whole way.

The only part of this kit that I was disappointed with at all were the brushes, they weren't the best quality and the tips kept falling out of the handles.

I loved the silk kit and made nice scarf. However, the brushes were not great quality. The hairs came right out as soon as I got it wet. This also happened to another student who ordered from Dharma.

Great kit for the advanced candidate. Although, I would strongly suggest adding a smaller size stylus,as this particular 'gutta' has an extremely fluid consistency,and does not allow for any kind of control,as with the Sennelier brand.

I preffer to work with the bee's wax and paraffin than the water base resist method. The wax dries fast.

Silk painting is a lot of fun! Would have appreciated knowing about needing a frame though. :) Products are easy to use and directions make the process easy from start to finish!

I really liked painting! I would like other colors besides just the 3 primaries, because I would rather have the colors than have to mix them ALL. But I managed to get several things to work out well.
