Etsy

Welcome! You have reached my Etsy storefront for unique, hand painted silk accessories!

When I am in my studio, I'm completely immersed in the process - mixing and blending colors, watching the dyes travel through the shimmering white silk, forming shapes and patterns, evoking moods and feelings - it's a moving meditation. Translating this sense of pure joy from my process onto the silk, and in turn uplifting others, is what matters most to me in my art.

I create each of my scarves individually, all of which are painted freehand, and I strive to work with nontoxic and natural materials whenever possible. I also do all of my own product photography, graphic design, packaging, and shipping, in addition to creating and exhibiting mixed media paintings in gallery shows and working full time! Phew! :)

You can view some of my mixed media paintings here, as well as read more about my bio: http:// www.joannareadcotter.com :)

I also keep a blog related to silk painting and the studio process and I update it whenever I can find the time:

If you have any questions about anything you see in my shop, please feel free to send me a message! I'm a pretty friendly gal and am happy to help you! :)

Cheers!
