Alternative to Traditional Resist-Stop Flow

There is another way to traditional resist. It's called the Stop Flow method in which the whole surface of the silk is covered with a type of resist allowing for the silk to be painted without the white lines left by regular resists I have discovered a product usually used in the laundry called Magic Sizing. It's not a spray starch but similar. The product is Magic Sizing. Silk artist Karen Sistek developed the method. Simply spray the stretched silk with the Magic Sizing and let it dry. It takes around 30 minutes, depending on the weather. Then draw the image on the silk using your preferred method. And you can use resist on the sprayed silk to define areas with lines.
