Three Little Ducks

By Hilary Broad

Materials Required:

Habotai 8 silk: 14cm x 14cm.

White paper 14cm x 14cm.

Va nishing marker pen.

Tube of Gold gutta.

Lightbox (optional): LB001.

Silk painting frame and three

point pins.

Silk paints: Pale Yellow, Bright Yellow,

Orange, Emerald Green, Bright Blue

and Dark Blue.

Small paintbrush and masking tape.

UHU All purpose adhesive.

Card mount: AP53U-27, Bright Blue.

To Make The Card:

It is always advisable to wash the

silk before use to ensure it is free from

Actual Size

any pre-treatment. Once the silk is

dry, press with an iron to flatten and

remove any creases. Make sure you

have enough time to trace and outline

the design before starting as you only

have about two hours until the vanish-

ing pen lines disappear.

Place the silk centrally over the dia-

gram on the left and trace the design

using the vanishing marker pen. I

have marked an inner borderline

on the diagram, if you are using an

AP04U/G card and want the outer

gutta line to show, make a thick out-

line at least 3mm wide between here

and the edge, otherwise just ignore

this line.

If you find it difficult to see the

design through the silk trace the dia-

gram onto tracing paper. Placing the

tracing onto a lightbox with the silk

on top will enable you to see the

design rather more clearly.

Gently stretch the silk over the frame and

attach using the three point pins. If you don’t

have a silk frame you can always use an empty

ice cream tub or large margarine tub to stretch

the silk over, use masking tape or a large elastic

band to hold it in place.

Have a spare piece of silk handy and practice

squeezing the gutta on this until it comes out of

the tube smoothly and evenly. Then work over

the traced lines applying the gold gutta straight

from the tube onto the silk. Make sure you do

not leave any gaps in the lines as the colour will

bleed through them if you do. Leave aside to dry.

Apply the silk paint with a brush, a little at a

time until the colour spreads to the gutta outline.

If you haven’t used silk paint before start with

a small patch, say the border, and you’ll soon

realise how the silk does the painting for you!

When painting the ducklings, mix small

amounts of yellow and orange together to get

various different shades, make the one in the

background quite yellowy and the largest one

in the foreground more orangey.

While the paint is still damp, add any high-

lights using a brush just lightly dampened with

clean water, the highlight appears as if by magic.

Keep an eye on it and, if necessary, repeat with

a little more water. I used this technique on

different parts of the ducklings and on the back-

ground. Note that once the paint has dried it

cannot be modified.

When the paint is dry it needs to be ‘fixed’

following the instructions on the pack. This pre-

vents the colours from running if they get at all

damp. I used iron fix paints and the instructions

were to iron on the reverse side at a medium

setting, I often give the design a second press

using a damp cloth to ensure it is completely flat.

Trim the picture to within 1cm all round and

cut a piece of white paper to the same size. Place

the unfolded card face down and glue the square

of paper centrally onto the left hand flap. Run

a line of glue around the aperture, turn the card

over, and lining up carefully in the aperture

lower it over the design. Keeping the silk flat

gently press around the aperture with your

fingers to ensure the silk is well stuck.

Tu rn the card over again and run another line

of glue around the aperture. Fold the card closed

and press firmly all over. Place the card under a

heavy book until the glue is dry if necessary.

Left: If you are no good at silk painting or aren’t

quite ready to give it a go, why not try cutting

the design from coloured card instead. Use the

colours in the diagram to guide you and add

details on the eyes beaks and feet using a fine

black felt tipped pen.
