If you line up the fibers properly before applying the medium, it will have that great luster. No needle felting at all with this method, so the fibers stay straight :-)Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-39545047023151328612011-06-05T08:12:49.765-04:002011-06-05T08:12:49.765-04:00That's gorgeous, Cyndi.

I've seen roving where the artist uses layers upon layers upon layers. <br /><br />It requires a lot of time-intensive needle felting (in the silk case also expensive) and doesn't do anything to enhance the colors.<br /><br />You Lutradur background really enhances the silk roving and makes it gleam.Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.com
