I had a ‘taste’ of silk painting many years ago: friend presented silk paints. There was exciting time of experimenting and then the life pushed paints aside… After romantic turn in my life many things had changed and there was time to pin a new piece of silk onto a frame. I've been exploring various silk painting techniques but my favourite ones still are 'hidden gutta' and batik.
Alongside silkpainting I discovered nuno felting technique for my scarves and got into deeper exploration of felt making. I like creating felted wall hangings and 3D objects in felt.
