Leaves as Pretty as Flowers

Play is the title of this silk, even though it features fall leaves. I gave myself permission to play. This haboti silk from China is 8x72" designed by me and painted with French dyes. The border features quotes about play, and gold resist draws each leaf. The color inside each 'window' is resist free. This silk is very pretty to hang on the wall or wear or both. $125.00

Nebulas as seen by Hubble and Jill

These seven 22x22" square silks(haboti) are of my interpretation of photos from the Hubble telescope of some of the Nebula in our Universe. I have these mounted on foam core and ready to hang. Each silk is very dynamic and brightens up the room. My favorite is the last one which is of the Butterfly Nebula.  $75 each.

The Universe

This 11 x 60 crepe de chine silk scarf was inspired by an ad I saw for a National Geographic book on photos from the Hubble telescope. I used French dyes, very little resist, and the words around the border speak about space and the Universe. $110.00

Purple and Yellow Spots

A quick experiment. Very pretty silk.

The Bugs Feel the Shaking . . .Poem

Another silk I painted when I was taking a class and studying Irene Wellington. She combined her calligraphy with illustrations and I took this to the next level, by doing my work on a silk. This is a poem about bugs feeling the earth quake when people walk by. $125.00

Alien spaceships?

Just playing. Very colorful. These look like spaceships or amebas. 11 x 60"  $60.00

Snail Story

Taking a class with Renee Jorgensen and learning about the calligraphy of Irene Wellington, I decided to do my calligraphy and illustrations on silk. This is a little story about snails, and their slime. I put the poem into the lines of slime. 11 x 60" I am also proud of the leafy background which is accomplished with no resist. $125.00
