My Silk Painting Process

When making my pieces, I start by stretching two pieces of silk in a large frame. This lets me paint both pieces together, allowing the colors to blend naturally when they are sewn together. I also use unique designs when painting, following my own inspiration and ideas that I have. Once I am done painting, I have a Seamstress that sews the two pieces together to create a variety of accessories. Some of the garments I work on include:

  • Capes – made from two pieces of silk that are 54 by 72 inches in size.
  • Sarongs – made from a single piece of silk that is 54 by 72 inches in size.
  • Scarves – made from silk pieces that are 14 by 72 inches in size.
  • Shawls – made from silk pieces that are 22 by 72 inches in size.

When choosing the silk pieces for the garments, I always select silk that is already cut and hand-sewn on the edges so that I don’t have to cut the pieces myself. So, whether you are looking for a handcrafted silk scarf or a full-size silk cape, I am happy to make the garments that you need.
