The item you are purchasing is made to order and will look very similar to what you see in the photos listed above. Since I paint each of my silks freehand and never exactly replicate patterns, it will vary slightly in pattern from the images, but it will be very close in color and will include plenty of ferns and dragonflies in a similar composition and design. Please allow 3 weeks for production, plus shipping time.
This hand painted silk scarf features dramatic yet graceful ferns and dragonflies, set within a breathtaking palette of jewel-toned peridot and emerald greens. Each fern and dragonfly has been carefully painted freehand, using an eco-friendly batik process.
The 14"x72" size is very versatile for draping and tying, and the rich, luxurious silk satin has a buttery soft hand and beautiful sheen, allowing the colors of the scarf to subtly shift and change with the light.

--How This Was Crafted----
This one of a kind design was created using hot soy wax and professional grade, eco-friendly silk dyes. The scarf has been painted entirely freehand, with hand rolled, hand hemmed edges - and is truly a unique work of wearable art.
---Care Instructions----
To care for your new scarf, dry clean or hand-wash in cold water with a drop of mild soap. Rinse, and blot dry with a soft towel. When silk is just slightly damp, iron on the backside on low setting. A small care card is included with each purchase.
----Quality---
All of my scarves are made to last a lifetime. They are painted with professional-grade silk dyes, then steam set for five hours for ultimate performance and wear. Unlike paints that sit on the surface of the silk, dyes chemically bond with the silk fibers during the steaming process, yielding the most brilliant colors possible.
