Size: approx. 86 x 86 cm. One of a kind hand-painted silk scarf featuring a whimsical yet subtle design of simple feathers. Large square hand-painted silk scarf hand-dyed and hand-painted in neutral shades of grey and black made of luxury habotai silk fabric. This is a classic silk square scarf.
First, I hand-dyed the background and then paint the ends to achieve a dramatic and intricate look. I chose my trademark feathers of Heron and used feminine, subtle colour tones. The shibori background is dyed in shades of grey. The feathers are painted in beige, silver grey, ochre and black dots on each feather. The combination of designs and techniques give the scarf unique and fragile finish making it a lovely addition to any wardrobe.

A little bit about me:
As a classically trained fine artist, I have always been intrigued by the idea of wearable art. So naturally, painting on silk has come as the best idea. Heron Design Studio aims to create such wearable pieces of art that will be timeless and versatile. Every piece that is created is unique.
Every design is sketched first on a piece of paper. That is followed by colours being carefully picked. After that, the scarf is painted (freehand) with no stencils or aids. Small imperfections are just a part of the hand painting process and make the painting unique and unrepeatable. Each of the motives created has a different technique (metallic outliner of watercolour technique etc.), and a different material (different types of silk fabrics) used. That is because suitability is carefully considered.
