Crystal Silks


Hand Painted Silk Scarves
and Unique Wearable Art





These exquisite silk scarves, silk shawls, silk kimonos and silk neckties are hand-painted using only the highest quality silk and French dyes. I use various surface techniques, some of which are similar to watercolors. They can be painted free style utilizing interesting calligraphic elements, or more specifically by using water-based resists to keep the dyes within specific areas. The ancient Japanese art of Shibori has inspired unusual patterns and stunning effects. I am only limited by my imagination. All silks are hand-hemmed, durable and steam set to assure color fastness. They can be hand-washed or dry cleaned. Each scarf is a graceful addition to any wardrobe.

All scarves, shawls, kimonos, and ties are signed by the artist. You can special order your favorite landscape by sending me a photo. All scarves are also available in 36"x36" silk charmeuse. Prices vary. Contact the artist directly for a quote.
