I went to dinner with a friend who has amazing taste, and she had a massive bunch of extraordinarily beautiful peonies. So for a thank you note and (late) birthday card I copied a photo of peonies in silk painting and made it into a card.
 |
| I traced the lines |
 |
 |
| Traced the lines and the lightest patches with gutta onto the stretched ponyo silk |
 |
| Added the pinks, and decided on a dark green background as the best for showing up the pink |
 |
| The gutta was washed off and when dry the silk was ironed and mounted onto a card |
 |
| And framed it to cover the raw edges |
