What kinds of silk fabric are the scarves made of?

I love painting on various silk fabrics, all 100% silk. I love the Habotai silk - a very light and has a subtle sheen. Habotai is known as "China silk" and it is the classic silk fabric for painting onto.

The Habotai silk scarves feel wonderful to wear. I love every single scarf I have created on that silk fabric - it truly allows the design to stand out. I love painting on Crepe de Chine silk as well - it has a slightly crinkled texture with a gentle, graceful drape, a very soft hand, and a more substantial weight than the Habotai silk.

It is lustrous and beautiful to wear. I just adore another type of silk fabric, kind of a cross in weave between the above two - it is called Flat Crepe. It feels like very, very thin Satin.

It is lighter and shinier than the Crepe de Chine, and makes amazing scarves. It stays lustrous and lush, and the effect of the dyes after the steam setting are irresistible. Satin and Chiffon are also very popular for painting on: Satin stays heavier but bears ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
