Today's favorite artwork is by Hokusai. I love this old tiger. He looks so smug while prancing through the snow. It is one of Hokusai's last works, he created this in 1849, when he was already 88 years old, shortly before he died.

#ArtAdventCalendar - Day 18. I’ve always wanted a geeky scarf/shawl that I could show off at conventions & starfests but could never find exactly what I wanted. So I designed & made one myself. A local silk painting studio offered a masterclass in batik so I treated myself…this sequence of images shows the process of my Solar System silk scarf. I’d never done batik before this - it was wonderful! #batik #silkpainting #sciart #sciartist #planets #solarsystem #craft #crafts #Painting
This is how I feel today. I created this painting during the pandemic painting on silk. #2023AYearForArt

The latest tree, this one with lanterns in the branches, painted on silk. I was trying to get an ethereal, flowy feeling. I think I'll work more with lanterns, they seem fun.
Epilogue: After I painted this it got destroyed in the dye-set steaming process. Bummer. At least I got a photo first.
Let the experimentation begin!
Testing different inks to block print on silk. The Charbonnel Aqua wash is definitely sharper and cleaner, but I don't know how well it will hold up to washing. The Speedball fabric ink is designed to be washed later, but it's a bear to work with. I've learned I could also get some GAC-900 and mix it with acrylic paint to get something that will heat-set on fabric without messing up how it feels, but I'm a little put off by the fact it releases formaldehyde when heat setting... My workspace isn't exactly well ventilated...
Might be worth the risk if it means it'll survive what I'm going to put it through to marble it later.
