lily Festival - silk scarf
|
Lily Festival is a celebration of the colors and textures of the many lilies that bring a burst of color to our yard n late summer. The flowers and pattern elements were added to this crepe de chine scarf using a serti technique. The images were drawn by the artist using a water based resist which creates a "fence" to control the flow of the fabric dye as the silk is painted. This is a one-and-only piece to be treasured.
Using dyes for this wearable art allows the silk to retain its naturally flowing "hand" and remain soft to the touch. The 8 x 54" scarf designed and painted by Smethport, Pennsylvania artist Julie Mader has been steam-set and is hand washable. $65.00 (one available) AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT: Elk County Council on the Arts Gallery Ridgway, PA (814) 772-7051 |
