Size: approx. 87 x 87 cm. This is a VERY LIGHTWEIGHT HABOTAI 6 silk scarf. It's a very soft scarf made of sheer silk fabric. Classic square silk scarf hand-dyed in a deep shade of emerald green combined with orange and rust-brown. Another of my striking colour combination. When spread, it truly looks like an emerald or malachite. This is a one-of-a-kind handmade scarf. Its colours remain the same, but the patterns vary.
A timeless piece that can be worn every season as a wrap during winter or beach scarf during summer.

A little bit about me:
As a classically trained fine artist, I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of wearable art. So naturally, painting on silk has come as the best idea. Heron Design Studio aims to create such wearable pieces of art that will be timeless and versatile. Every piece that is created is unique.
Every design is sketched first on a piece of paper. That is followed by colours being carefully picked. After that, the scarf is painted (freehand) with no stencils or aids. Small imperfections are just a part of the hand painting process and make the painting unique and unrepeatable. Each of the motives created has a different technique (metallic outliner of watercolour technique etc.), and a different material (different types of silk fabrics) used. That is because suitability is carefully considered.
