Designs are drawn onto white silk using a resist. The silk is then stretched onto frames and hand painted with custom mixed dyes. When the pieces are dry they are wrapped on a tube between newsprint and steamed for several hours to bond the dye to the fiber after which the silk is washed and ironed. Now the pieces are ready to be cut and sewn into the garments and accessories they were designed for. Easy wear wearable art.
