Gallery: Silk Painting
|
About the Work These beautiful scarves are handpainted in a centuries-old Japanese technique, being explored anew in Northern California: the art of Arashi Shibori. Silk is folded and wrapped around a core, then scrunched to make a pattern of mountain-and-valley folds. The manipulated silk is then hand painted with dyes, the palette of colors mixing further in the brushstrokes and in the drying process. Heat-set to be colorfast, the scarves are then given a final rinse and ironed, and tagged with a unique number and information. Under Construction! I have been busy with art shows this month, and need to reassess the stock and update this page. Please come back in a week or so! -Ru Temple December 8, 2005 |
