Burnout



This is called burnout on silk/rayon. It's like magic. Like stupidly toxic magic. the goo stuff burns out the...uh the rayon leaving the silk threads behind. I put it on a darker background so you are able to see that it's pretty much see-through. The bottom picture is what happens when you leave all your hard work [top image example] out to dry and someone gets it wet after it's dried and therefore mushes all the burnout paste into a giant wet cloud shape. The plan was to make these sheets into a lantern until I found out that you can't iron it into a pretty pattern if someone's already fucked it up.
