Silk painting

This is a new venture to me, so I've had to do lots of internet research, and buy lots of new equipment.

I'm not sure if this is the right way to paint on silk ... I did a design on A4 and traced it onto freezer paper (plastic coated paper) which I then ironed onto my piece of silk. Next I traced all the outline with gold "gutta", trying to make sure there were no gaps for the silk paint to leak through. The gutta is like a resist (barrier) to stop the paint spreading into areas you don't want that colour. Then came the fun bit of painting ... and after removing the freezer paper and ironing the silk to "set" the colours, I put the picture into a double mount using double-sided tape.
