Red Poppy Silk Scarf, Hand-Painted, Unique item

£56.00

This classic scarf was inspired by Rememberence Day and would be perfect for giving to  a loved one. After outlining the flower shapes to contain the flow of the dyes I painted the blooms with delicate tones of reds and orange before painting the centres in black and adding a black border with a wavy edge . This is truly a one off, and anyone would feel special wearing it.

A beautiful long silk scarf  28cm x 150cm (11″ x 60″) hand- painted with red poppies on a white background with black edging.

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 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 border is painted. 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.

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