First of all: ironing and cut the tissue. I cutted the silk 30x30 cm.
Take the silk in the Frame.
Then paint the silk.
painted silk
Then make circles of carton with diameter of ~ 7cm. Take the circles between 2 plies of tissue
Enclose the circles of carton between the tissue with thread by hand. (The white one. After cut ~ 1.5 cm from this white thread.
Unfortunately for the next step I have no picture, my camera went crazy ;) So, next step is: Cut out a Piece of black tissue. 30 x 18 cm. Then turn over 3 cm (on the 18 cm side, so now it's 15 cm, not 18 anymore. got it? ;)) Then stitch it.
Take the painted silk. Turn over 2 cm. Put the overhead selvage of the turned - over silk exactly on the stitchure of the black piece. Then stitch once above and once below so there is a tunnel between the two stitchures on silk. The overhead part is finished :)
Cut off the silk to the size of the black part. Then stitch by hand the black and silky part on the bottom, means the tissue-carton circle.
look out that the stitchures above meet.
