Tree Scarf


This is a silk scarf (Trees) it is 72 x 8". It is hand drawn with silk dyes, using no resist. This was a lot of fun doing as the dyes run to shape the tree. I added just enough to keep a shape. Sometimes without a resist it is very tricky. After you are finished you steam the scarf to set the dyes so they are permanent. Sometimes you never know what you might get when doing this. I steam mine in a pressure cooker and I have overcooked a few....

Warter Lilly Scarf


This is a water lilly silk scarf. It is 72" x 11" It is hand painted with silk dyes. They are permanent and do not fade. My friends hang them on the wall as a tapestry. I however, prefer to wear them.

Bryan's Tree


My son sent me this picture of a tree that he liked. I do not know where it was taken but because of the lightening and shape I thought it would make a nice painting.
