Orient Express Silk Painting Dye
Use On...
About Them...
An excellent dye from Pebeo of France. These colours are exceptionally vivid. And Yes! They may be fixed in a cold chemical-water rinse or steamed, the choice is yours. Use the colours
full strength or dilute with water. Fixed colours may be washed or dry cleaned. Shelf life is at least 5 years.
How To Fix Them...
Steam Fix...Add a small amount of white vinegar to the water before steaming and steam fix one hour. Use TNA detergent in the final washout - see Soap section.
Great Because...
The "Bougainvillea" is our favourite "must have" brightest pink ever.
Companions...Orient Express Diffuser, add a few drops to each 10 ml of diluted dye for streak free
backgrounds.
Use For...
All silk painting techniques including salt swirl, serti and microwave dyeing. Mix 2 or 3 capfuls of dye plus one tsp. of white vinegar per liter of water for immersion techniques (tie
dye or batik).
Getting Started...
Pebeo puts out a really neat pamphlet of application ideas and colour charts showing full strength colour, diluted colour and how colours appear after being muted by adding a little
black. Ask for a few dyes, a brush, the pamphlet and give it a go!
