Care of Silk Silk is a living material that needs to "breathe" so avoid storing it for long periods of time in plastic.  Carry your silk with you in your purse to wrap around your shoulders in air conditioned restaurants.  Wear your silk wrapped around you to the beach.  These silks are easy to care for, simply hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.  Hand Painted Art on Silk by a Montreal Quebec Artist About Graziella | Contact Us | 514-483-3644 How to Hang and Frame Your Silk Painting When hanging your hand-painted silk painting select walls which are not exposed to direct and prolonged sunlight. Graziella prefers to hang her hand-painted silks in a free and soft manner, perhaps on a rod.  The hand-painted silks can also be stretched and stapled to a wooden frame after a fabric ribbon has been sewn around the periphery or even framed in a traditional frame.
