i have few questions to ask you.

1) how can we use the fabric paint? can you directly paint dipping the brush in the bottle or you can dilute it with water?
2) how do you load the design on the saree? i am planning to do it on a Georgette saree.
3) do you use frame for holding the material when you paint?

i would be very glad if you could help me on clarifying the above. thank you.

hi

Thanks a lot for your encouraging words...

1. Dip the brush in water and then wipe of the excess water in some waste cloth and then dip them in paints... no need to dilute the paint...

2. Is same as the procedure we do for embroidery..

3. Its upto our convenience.. I usually use frames for painting....

Hope i'm clear with the reply...

Thanks for the info. Before I could get the reply from you I started painting. It is coming out well. But your information is also useful to me.
