Silk paper vases, experimental stage.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with silk paper again and perfecting a method for covering a vase in silk paper for a decorative effect. my first experiment has turned out reasonably well but I hope to be able to create a cover that can be removed from the vase so that the vase can be washed.

The experiment so far...

Building up the layers.
Preparing to roll the vase.
All rolled up. Ready to paint on the solution.

Solution on.
