Different techniques create various results:

Adding color and salt

Exciting patterns can be created on scarves with colors of silk paint. While the paint is very wet, sprinkling salt over the entire scarf forms textures where the salt absorbs some of the silk paint.

Drawing With Gutta (Resist)

With rubber-like gutta, outlines of a design will become borders for holding the silk paint. In this way, original designs can be transferred to create unique silk scarves.

Hiding Gutta Lines

Painting in layers and drawing over colors are techniques for completing a silk scarf without the gutta lines appearing.
