Blues and Greens

This is my latest silk scarf done with azure and soft green as a commission for someone. I packed it in a deep blue scarf box tied with cream organza ribbon. Below left is done with spring green and veronese green. I used shibori techniques, the scarf above was folded and rolled and the other was twisted and rolled round a tube before applying the dyes.

Rose pink and sky blue silk scarf

It's a lovely sunny afternoon today for photographing some silk scarves.
I made this one by a sort of shibori method that involved rolling and gathering the silk then painting on the dyes. I like the patterning that happened, never too sure what it will be like till it has been steamed to fix the dyes then unwrapped. A bit like a butterfly emerging from it's chrysalis.
