Dying Designs on Silk and Cotton?
I design a lot of my own clothes. I have the concept for several designs and I can't find the fabric design that I want. One of these projects is on silk, and the other is on cotton. I want to basically "paint" these designs on with dye, but I don't want the dye running. In the end, I want the background of the fabric to still be white and the design to be in color. I don't want the fabric changing texture and becoming inflexible. I did find out that I need to use Gutta resist to make an outline of my design onto the silk. So,
A. Can gutta resist be used on cotton and silk?
B. Can I use silk paints on cotton such as these? (I found somewhere that I could and some other place said I couldn't) http://www.jerrysartarama.com/art-supply/catalogs/0060029000000 .
C. Or is there an easier way to go about this project?
Thanks!
What about batik? (You cover what you want white with wax and then paint what you want and get the wax out later.)
I took a fabric dyeing class given by this woman:

She sells supplies and provides links to other sites as well.
