There’s no limit to what you can do using the easy and versatile silk-dying technique described in this article from Threads #178 (April/May 2015) by Deborah Younglao.

Dye becomes part of the fabric, instead of sitting on the surface like paint, so the silk’s natural luminosity shows through and the fabric retains its softness and fluid drape.
