Gorgeous and Fun

Silk Scarf

More Happy Mail !!! This was a silk scarf I painted for the lovely Susannah of Ink on my fingers. Susannah is fantastic photographer, blogger and the teacher of "Unravelling". She is the kindest and nicest and I couldn't resist sending her something fun. But there was a bit of a twist to this story. I put it in registered mail just to ensure that it got there. And guess what? It vanished. Two weeks and I hadn't heard about it. So I asked Susannah (and ruined the surprise in doing so) and it hadn't made it to her. I was heartbroken and then I sent over pictures to her (ruining the surprise even more!) and guess what? It reached!!!! Two days after !!! So I am so glad that it made it to her even though it wasn't a surprise anymore. 

A Green Brown Scarf

 

 

 

Since I am in a party mode, here's another post from me today. This time I am sharing a green, brown scarf (absolutely unimaginative name!) I made. This scarf wasn't planned, at all. I had left over paint from a different scarf project and hated the idea of throwing the paint away. In trying to avoid waste, I started dabbling and that's how this scarf came to life.

I really like how the green and the brown fused and formed this other-worldly landscape. In the closeup shots, it looks like it could be an abstract painting or the surface of a distant planet. I am also still experimenting with photography techniques. Trying to determine what kind of light to use, how to use it, keep the colors real and play with a new camera. If anyone has any advice please feel free to let me know.

Handmade Silk Scarf

 

 

I won't be spoiling the surprise for the person receiving this scarf. I am pretty certain that she should have received it by now. I made this silk scarf. I love how these colors worked out! Paints can take a life of their own when they meet a silk scarf. They can twist and they can turn and the artist can end up being a bystander.
