Silk Painting How to
Usually, when you place your brush on the silk the paint/dyes spread uncontrolled. Unless there is a resist line, the color won't stop. But you could spread some kind of substance on top of the silk to slow this process. These substances are called antispreads or antifusants. When antispread is painted on silk and let dry before applying the dyes, it will stop the flow of colours. The silk becomes almost like a piece of paper, and the dyes can be painted directly on the silk without using gutta or other type of resists. Very detailed works with no outlines can be achieve by this method.
Jacquard's No Flow
Paint this onto your silk and let it dry before using any silk dye. It's like painting on a primer and then painting over it with your dyes. The dyes will now hold their line without spreading across the fabric. You can now paint without any resists. Washes out easily with soap and water. Can be steamed but a little harder to get out afterward. Works with all dyes. Some artists use primers like this so they can paint their signature in a corner of their piece.
Sennelier's Stop Flow
Call it what you will, it is painted onto the silk (and dried) before the paint or dye, which it then keeps from spreading when it touches the silk. The dye stays put where you want it instead of wicking all over the place. Allows for freehand painting without Gutta or other resists to "fence" the dye. Think of it as sizing to prep the canvas with. It washes out with water in the end. This is the only one that can also be used with flowable paints like Dynaflow and Setacolor.
2M Antifusant by Dupont
(Not available in the U.S.) Antifusant 2M is made of Essence F (a solvent) and can be applied on white or coloured silk. It does not effect or change the colour of already painted silk, and it keeps its soft hand and brilliance.
Solvent Based Antispread
You can make your own 2M Antispread by mixing Essence F plus Essence F-based gutta, or any other solvent-based gutta plus its solvent.
1HO Antifusant by Dupont
Antifusant 1HO is water based and should be used only on white silk.
Water Based Antispread
You can make your own 1HO Antispread by mixing water based gutta plus water.
Magic Sizing
Magic Sizing (a fabric finishing spray similar to spray starch) can be sprayed onto dry stretched silk. Once evenly applied, the surface can be air dried or set with a hot hair dryer. Painting on the finished surface is much like painting on watercolor paper.
Very little dye is needed and dry brush techniques are recommended as the sizing works as a ‘stop flow’ . It fills in the fibers of the silk and prevents the dyes from flooding the surface. A stiffer brush may be used to ‘scrub’ the colors into the surface of the silk.
For use in smaller areas, such as reflections, the sizing can be sprayed into a glass and brushed on to selected areas to protect the white surface.
After setting the dyes as recommended by your particular dye, the Magic Sizing washes out of the finish work leaving no film or thickness to the dye.

Reviews for "Sparkle and Shine: Glitter Witch Hats as Statement Pieces"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Glitter witch hat". The quality was really poor and it felt like it was going to fall apart any minute. The glitter on the hat started to peel off after wearing it only a couple of times. It was definitely not worth the price I paid for it.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I have never been more let down by a product than I was by the "Glitter witch hat". The hat did not fit properly and kept slipping off my head. The glitter was also incredibly messy and got all over my clothes. It was a nightmare to clean up. Save your money and avoid this poorly made hat.
3. Emma - 2 stars - I was hoping for a stylish, magical witch hat, but the "Glitter witch hat" fell short of my expectations. The glitter was unevenly applied, and there were several noticeable bald spots on the hat. The hat itself felt flimsy and cheaply made. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this if you're looking for a high-quality accessory.
4. Michael - 1 star - The "Glitter witch hat" was a huge disappointment. The glitter not only shed all over the place, but it also started to irritate my skin. The elastic band to keep the hat in place was too tight and uncomfortable. Overall, this hat was more of a nuisance than a fashionable accessory.
5. Amanda - 2 stars - I regret buying the "Glitter witch hat". The glitter kept getting in my eyes and was difficult to remove, even with washing. The hat itself felt very flimsy and easily lost its shape. It was definitely not worth the money I paid for it. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
