Blue, Purple, Magenta Tangles



8 x 72" Tangles.  I just love creating these abstract silks.  They are just so pretty.  They go with lots of outfits too.  $90.00

Paste Dragon from Class



My silk teacher is trying to get my to loosen up.  This was an assignment in class.  I used thickened dyes to draw the dragon and fill her in.  After steaming the dragon, I added some gold resist to lighten up the dark lines.  She is a nice dragon!  12 x 60" SOLD

Simple landscape with Quotes


8 x 72"   Paste paper style  landscape.  The quotes are about nature.  Sorry, the photos don't show the subtle writing at each color change. SOLD

Fall Colored Curly Cues




Rich colors, a touch of gold resist, mostly done with thickened dyes in the paste paper style.  See the detail on some of the 'tails'.  8 x 72"  SOLD

Fire Colored Paste Paper Style



Another in my series of paste paper style scarves.  This one is so pretty.  No resist on this except for my signature. 12 x 60"  SOLD  I am making another one.

Blue, Purple, Yellow Paste Paper Style



August, 2013. 8 x 72"  I am experimenting with painting on silk with thickened dyes in the paste paper style.  I have hundreds of paste paper paintings on paper (Arches Text Wove) which I use in my calligraphy projects; i.e. books, backgrounds, cards, etc.  Now I will show several silks in the same genre.  $40.00

Tropical Forest Silk





This is a 8 x 72" silk with a Tropical Forest/flower theme.  I made the picture areas bordered by a purple band of lettering.  This is a very intense silk--I love it.  $120.00
