Silk and Soy Coral Scarf

Description

A blend of silk and soy fibers make for a lustrous fabric, that's really gorgeous when colored with silk dyes. A pattern of vines and flowers was outlined in resist, and the body of the scarf was then dyed a rich coral color. The ends of the scarf are finished with striated coral silk shantung. It is 7" wide x 84" long, so can be worn any number of ways around shoulders, waist, or hair.

These beautiful pieces are like original water color paintings, made one at a time with no two exactly the same. The last view (on the right) shows a stretched scarf in the process of silk painting. The fabric starts as a plain white blank. I draw in the details with gutta, or resist, and then use a paint brush to fill in the color with professional silk dyes. The piece is then steamset for colorfastness. It can be easily cleaned by machine on the gentle cycle, or hand washing in cold water. Let it let drip dry. Most pieces can also be dry cleaned.

Please feel free to convo me with any questions.
