Silk Paper

As part of the Ratty Tatty Papers online workshop that Dale at The Thread Studio is running I have been making silk paper.
The first one is made from 2 layers of a silk cap.
This silk fiber is very thin and sticks to your fingers especially if you have any loose skin on them.





The next two are made using dyed silk tussar fibers.
These colours are no longer available but I have had them for at least 5 years and I still have plenty left.




They are all made using Textile Medium





I am not a great lover of making silk paper--I don't know why-maybe it's because I can never get the same even flat paper that everyone else does.
I wouldn't mind if I were trying to get a textured look but I'm not .
