Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

I purchased this product a while ago to do some stencils and when I got it home I found some cool tutorials on you tube and played around with inks on it with my brayer. I loved the way the inks spread around on this terraskin. The results were pretty cool and I played around with it for a couple of hours and got completely lost in it. I didn't want to use this one as a stencil because I thought I could do something with the piece I had worked on but I just never got around to doing anything. So while on vacation/spring cleaning the cottage I slipped some of this terraskin in with my art supplies and used a new sheet to make a stencil of a tree.

after reviewing some of the products available to paint on the silk scarves from Marie Genevieve Samson of   StrasseSilk, I think I may have found the product that will be perfect for the silk without it being to costly.

I will start with a lighter colour as I have a dark green and a very pale blue scarf.
