PAINTED SILK SCARVES
All of my scarves are unique, since each one is painted by hand. I start with a plain white silk scarf, and draw
the basic design with gutta, which is a resist material. I then paint them with French dyes- which have been
specially formulated for painting on silk- applying one color at a time to complete the design details. Next, I
set the dyes through a steaming process. Once the dyes are set, they are permanent and can be hand-washed.
After viewing my scarves online, please feel free to contact me by phone to place an order. I am happy to
accommodate whatever colors, sizes and themes you prefer. I work with several different kinds of silk, and
will gladly detail for you the distinctive qualities of each of them. The end result will be a one-of-kind work of
art that you can wear and appreciate for years to come!
