Silk Habotai Shawl/Scarf, painted with Anemones, hand painted, unique piece,

£75.00

This larger shawl features colourful Anemones and a pastel watercolour background .  After outlining the flower shapes to contain the flow of the dyes I painted the blooms with shades of pinks, reds and purples  before painting the background with the same colours but more pastel in a watercolour style. This is truly a one off, no two scarves will ever be exactly the same.

A silk shawl 35cm x 150cm featuring colourful Anemones in red, blue and pink on a pastel watercolour background.

Painted by hand on 8mm silk habotai with Dupont Silk dyes, this is a genuine original design by Janet and signed by the artist.  Long enough to wear draped over the shoulders or to tie in numerous ways.

The design is first outlined with a waterbased outliner which is set before painting begins.  Each flower is shaded individually before the background is painted in a watercolour style. When all is dried overnight the shawl is wrapped in cotton and steamed to bond the dyes to the silk.  It is then rinsed several times, the final one being with hair conditioner to make sure it feels beautiful and soft. It is then ironed dry at which point it is ready to wear.

The shawl can be handwashed in warm water and natural soap and ironed dry with a warm iron.

Will be despatched wrapped in presentation box, ready for giving or keeping to yourself.
