Learning more silk painting

I am still learning how to paint on silk. Since I can find no local teachers I have been combing You Tube and silk sights for information.
 I tried two new methods to create. One  uses a resist called Gutta which provides a dam so the paint does not flow into each other. Something like using Misket  with watercolour.

Shown here is each flower and leaf surrounded by clear gutta,

Completed painting shows no blue flowed into white.

The other way I tried was to tie stones in the silk and then paint on it. This is called Sibori. The stones are removed after the silk paint is set and leave a nice sculptural effect.

 

I especially liked this idea. Here it is as a scarf.
