| My wearable art has been available online for more than five years; I have been experimenting with dyes and fabrics for more than three decades. Strong, vivid color combinations are my specialty. Experimenting is a consistent joy; I draw my inspiration from natural forms and the interplay between negative and positive space. I use only the best quality silks. My favorite is 16.5mm stone-washed crepe de Chine due to its luxurious texture, with chiffon as a close second. The fine "hand" of the silk is unaffected by wax or resists because I apply dye directly to the scarves, diluted or thickened with seaweed-based thickener. Fiber-reactive dyes bind chemically with the fibers and are completely permanent. Each scarf and necktie is a signed original painting that you will never see anywhere else. My floral designs are done from life, not from photographs, and I never use digital tricks. |
