@ilia.li.cos: More details in caption! I’ve been getting tons of questions about the techniques and materials I use to do gold detailing on fabric, so I thought I’d make a video on my favorite methods these days! This is a little bit different from what I usually share, so please let me know if you like it and it’s helpful! For my silk painting I mainly use pebeo water based gutta and jacquard permanent water based resist. These are both applied directly on dry fabric. For silk painting, the fabric should be stretched on a frame so that the gutta/resist can permeate all the way through to properly stop dye flow (See my 2 part silk painting tutorial for more details about the painting itself). After application, the gutta/resist should be allowed to dry and then heat set using an iron, I do 5 min at the highest temperature appropriate for the fabric. Gutta/resist do have a steeper learning curve to control the thickness of the line and use enough pressure for the gutta/resist to go all the way through the fabric. I also like using gutta/resist to do gold linework even when I’m not silk painting since they give very clean lines and minimally stiffen the fabric. In terms of when I use pebeo’s gutta vs jacquaed’s resist, it really boils down to factors like available colors. But lately I do prefer that you can easily dilute jacquard’s resist with water to better permeate thick/tightly woven fabrics. Please note that real gutta requires safety equipment! I use water based because it is less toxic, with the trade off that it’s a bit less effective at preventing dye flow. When I’m not silk painting and working with a darker fabric, I like using posca metallic gold marker, which doesn’t require any drying and is pretty mess-free since it only needs to be heat set. I iron 5min on the highest setting appropriate for the fabric. All of these can be hand washed in cold water after heat setting. #cosplaywip #cosmaker #silkpainting #cosplaytutorial #fabricpainting #textileart
