Marmalade Tiger



This is the latest tie in the tiger series that I have been doing. For this one I used steam fix dyes and outlined the stripes with bronze.
This is available from both my shops on etsy and Folksy  (links on the right)

Below are earlier ones from the series.
The one below was a commission and worn to a wedding in Finland.




Below is a small painting done on watercolour paper and using my design. I don't think I have used gutta on watercolour paper before. It is used as a resist in silk painting, here on the watercolour paper it is  decorative. The bronze gutta has worked fine on the paper.
