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 subtle yet vibrant shade of turquoise blue mixed with purple and hints of green. The result is naturally divine. It reminds me of an atoll in the Indian Ocean. You can see the edges of the island and imagine the colourful fish in the sea, the warm sun touching your skin while you are just sunbathing on the beach overlooking the beautiful turquoise ocean. This is a one-of-a-kind handmade scarf. Its colours remain the same, but the patterns vary.

It is a timeless piece that can be worn every season.

All my scarves are handmade using hand-dying (shibori) hand-painting techniques, or a combination of both. They are unique pieces. They are steam-fixed in high temperatures, tied, and therefore pre-crushed/pre-creased. The small creases then create a beautiful pattern of blending colours. Steam makes the dyes even more vibrant. They are not printed.

A little bit about me:

As a classically trained fine artist, I have 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.
