Silk Scarves
Printed from my paintings, the 100% silk crepe de chine fabric is soft, and beautifully hemmed—wonderful to wear. When you order through my shop the order is placed locally and shipped to you directly. Contact Ann with questions or customizing.
Heron Hunting is the title of this 36" silk square.
The fabric is 100% silk Crepe de Chine, the machine-rolled hem of high quality, and the printing is excellent. The image is vivid on the front, and a bit less vibrant on the reverse of the cloth due to the natural process.
The detail of the linework is something to enjoy up close.
The central panel is an exact reproduction of a linocut I made in 2019 as a featured artist for San Francisco Center for the Book annual "RoadWorks" event. The linocut is inked, the fine paper placed on top, and then a vintage Buffalo Springfield steamroller is driven over it to make the print under 3 tons of pressure. I decided to create a scarf from the print, and this is the result. Extending a weave of branches and adding bright jewel colors created the border motif.
Protecting wildlife is at the heart of this artwork. "Butorides Virescens" is the species name of the green heron, whose hunting abilities are remarkable. This would be a great gift for birders and naturalists.
My silk scarves are produced locally, printed and hemmed with precision to the best standard, and will provide a fabulous and comfortable addition to any wardrobe.
