Announcement    Welcome to Kris Thoeni Designs ~ One of a kind Hand Painted Silk Scarves ~ Your place for Art Inspired by Spirit, Created with Love, and Intended to Touch your Soul.

Please follow me on Facebook:

For me, creating is a transformative process and deeply healing.

I design and create with the hope my artwork will uplift your spirits and bring a little more beauty to the world.

I am inspired by nature, by colors and textures, by patterns and people from around the world and beyond.

I begin with solid white fabric. Once the brush touches the fabric it is as if something else takes over. I enter that timeless place where everything stands still and anything is possible.

Each piece is imbued with the energy of healing and wholeness in all her forms: inner peace, love, joy, authenticity, true self worth, compassion and more.

My partner Joseph Woods and I both paint the reclaimed wood pins. We also paint silk together and create cards and prints from our designs. (Not currently on the ETSY store, but soon!)

  • Each silk scarf begins white and gets attached to a wooden frame, then the silk painting begins.
  • Silk on Frame in process with dyes - ready to paint
  • Silk wrapped up in paper, ready to start steaming process which bonds the molecules of the color to the fabric.
  • Unwrapping the Silk after Steaming Process is complete - The colors really pop! Next silk needs to day, then wash & iron
  • A Sampling of my Hand Painted Silk - I hope you enjoy!

Kris Thoeni Designs - Wearable Art - One of a Kind Hand Painted Silk Scarves, Wraps, and Shawls

For me, creating is a healing process. Creating inspires and uplifts me. It makes me feel alive and brings me a sense of inner peace.

I've always loved color and patterns, shapes and texture, design and the ever changing beauty of Nature. I've always been fascinated by faces, by people, by other cultures ~ the colors, textures, and stories of the world. All these things and more influence my creative expression.

After a serious car accident in 1988 I was unable to return to my corporate work. My healing journey took me inward reclaiming my intuition and creativity. I truly believe the creative process was instrumental in my healing and I'm happy to have this opportunity to share that with you.

When I paint, I quiet my mind the best I can and I listen to what is calling to me: a feeling, a shape, a color. Once the brush touches the fabric it is as if something else takes over and the images come through me rather than from me. My intention is to create pieces that uplift our hearts and bring healing energy and a little more peace to the world.

Each silk scarf is hand painted one of a kind. Sometimes I paint in themes - themes of color, shapes, feelings - yet no two silks will ever be exactly the same.

I've been selling my artwork for nearly 25 years, as well as teaching intuition and creative expression workshops and retreat for individuals, groups, and corporations exploring the healing power of art.

Thank you for visiting my ETSY store. Please feel free to convo me with any questions - I look forward to hearing from you.

Kris

Welcome to Kris Thoeni Designs ~ One of a Kind Hand Painted Silk.

I design and create my artwork with the hope that it will uplift your spirit, bring a bit of beauty to our world, and will reconnect us all with a deeper sense of inner peace.

My art expresses my love of nature, of symbols and cycles, patterns and colors, archetypes and people from around the world and beyond.

As I work, my intention is to imbue each piece I make with the healing power of color and creativity.

Longing to heal the Myth of Separation, I play with my art as a tool for transformation:
a vehicle to reveal truth and to connect me deeply to my heart.

May you find a beautiful silk that speaks to your heart and soul, makes you feel alive, and is just plain fun to wear.

I paint all my scarves one at a time in a smoke free environment. I do have cats in the home ~ who inspire me with their unconditional love ~ but they are not involved in the painting process.

Enjoy,
Kris
