If anyone here knows Todd or, how to contact him, can you please reach out to me? He was my brother-in-law in the 70s. He is one of the most important humans I've had in my life. I do not do any form of social networking so, this is as good as it gets. Heres hoping!
Hi Jill.... Thanks for the wonderful tips. I am a beginner in silk painting and this information is very useful. It would be very helpful if you guide about the background painting techniques as whenever I paint it, the colour does not mix properly and it becomes patchy...
Hi there, Jill is retired so unable to answer. I recommend you speak with your dye supplier about this problem. Also check out Facebook for "Silk Painters International", join their group, and ask your questions there. Good chance someone else is having the same issue or has resolved it. Silk paints have different viscosity -- some blend and flow better than others. Also the temperature will stop the flow -- if the room is very warm it's possible the colors are not working correctly.
I love your dolls Patti. I went to a gallery in Laguna Beach California in 1960. There were dolls hanging everywhere on little swings and floating through the air, and I realized that I wanted to be a doll maker. Well, life became very full with many children and life changes and through the years I had made many dolls for my little ones. But, it wasn't until two years ago I attempted to make art dolls. I had some successes that surprised me, but I do have one question. In the supply section the name of a certain type of fine pens to do the fine outlining that doesn't run are bleed. I have ordered so many pens and none of them work properly, and I would like to know if you could give an actual brand that you use on your dolls. Just seems to be the case with all the doll makers I have books on,. But, I would like something specific if you could help out. Thank you. 😊
What a lovely lady thank you so much you have inspired me and how easy you made the feathers. How I wish I could get a cuppa and sit and blether with you. Lots of lovely stories. 😊
Hi Jill. I just found your channel. I have never painted silk. I have a wine colored silk upholstered accent chair. I want to darken it to dark brown- black. I thought about wood staining over the fabric to bring it down just to darken and tone down. Can I use wood stain to achieve this? Thank you.❤
You will need a fabric paint. Try this brand and see what they say. Amazon sells the product as well. Good luck! www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/fabricoat-fabric-paint
What a treat to come across this little video, and lovely to 'see' you again. Your sketchbooks are works of art in their own right. I often think of you as every day I look at a piece of your work which my husband bought for me from the Black Swan Gallery in Frome, many years ago. It is a Cretan hillside with olive trees, at dusk. I think it's title is 'Cretan Dusk' and I never tire of it.
Some artists use Procion Synthetic Dyes, available under the label Procion MX Dyes. Others use natural dyes which are formulated locally. In this case Indigo (blue), Madder Tree Root (red), and Yellow Flame tree (yellow) which are combined to produce other colors in the spectrum.

I took a class. The syllabus was in error. She taught a six hour class but only taught for less than an hour with very little meaningful content. Students then asked the same questions over and over which I had to listen to. She sold 174 seats which meant you, if you did the math, you could only talk two minutes. (If she didn’t teach at all). But others talked far more. Basically meaning the class was oversold/oversubscribed. But she made $4300 dollars from this class. I consider this a scam. When I complained she was VERY rude. Nothing like the spiritual guru she likes to present herself as on RU-vid. Don’t take a class with her. Obviously her only motivation is greed!!!! This review represents my experience.
Thanks for your comment. It's important to find an instructor that works for you. Galli Creative does not sell workshops by Jane Dunnewold and instead filmed a comprehensive workshop called "Soy Wax Inspirations" which we believe is the best value for your money and available online or on DVD. gallicreative.com/product/soy-wax-inspirations-and-beyond/
