A little silk painting

As usual, I'm procrastinating on starting my project for the current Fiberexplorations challenge.  That's not to say I haven't made any progress; it's just not direct progress.  I decided to add a river to my design, which allowed me to indulge my desire to do some silk painting, which I hadn't done in quite awhile.  I love how the colors flow, spread, and blend, and then to add salt, and watch the little bursts! come up . . . ooh la la!

Hand-painted silk.

Another view.

This time, I used silk satin, which is a little heavier and more luxurious-feeling than the lighter-weight China Silk (Silk Habotai) I used on previous projects.

And one more!

Now the hard part: cutting it up.  Do I cut the river out of one piece?  Or cut the whole thing up and piece it?  These are the types of decisions that keep me stuck in procrastinating.
