Silk Fusion, also known as Silk Paper, is an exciting new creative process.
By Karen Selk
This unique method bonds silk fibers into a lustrous kind of 'felt' which can be gossamer and transparent or thick and opaque as leather. Because the fibers are unspun, silk's rich lustre and texture are captured.
Silk fusion is a perfect canvas for hand or machine stitching, printing, stamping, origami, quilting, jewellery, wearable art, book coverings, collage and on and on. To help you get started, there are complete instructions for making silk fusion on our web site. And we have developed an award–winning instructional dvd as well as a starter kit.
Silk is comprised of two proteins. Two 'strands' of fibroin are coated with the second protein, sericin, as it is extruded from the silkworm's body. This semi-liquid fiber is as smooth as glass. Unlike wool fibers, there are no protruding scales that will cling to each other when agitated with soap and water to make felt. So a little help is employed to fuse the lustrous silk fibers together.

The first time I saw the silk 'felt' fabricated by human hands, I was astonished at its similarity to what I've seen in Korea, China, and on my kitchen cabinet. Many summers ago while raising silkworms, I had an escapee. While the other caterpillars happily stayed in their own 1' cube to spin their cocoon, one fellow wandered. He got stuck under his spinning 'cage' on the cabinet. Weeks later, when clearing away the cages for next year's crop, I discovered the hard pupa shell sitting next to a 1 ½' square of flat silk. There was not enough room for the caterpillar to move its head in a figure of eight while spinning its metamorphosis home. All it could do was move its head back and forth to create a flat piece of silk fiber 'glued' together with sericin.
