Caro Silk
Silk Art

Welcome to my website!

I hope you enjoy browsing through the various silk paintings. My trademark is the use of bold colors, and achieving a "stained glass" effect by using black resist. This is not silk screening, this is hand painted silk, using white silk as a canvas. Each piece is an original.

The paintings are done on Habotai silk, using finest European silk dyes. Resist is used to define lines and set accents.  The pieces are light fast and even washable (due to the process of setting the colors). The silk is stretched onto a padded board to ensure that the silk is protected, and to achieve a subtle 3D effect. I do not put my paintings under glass, since it is not necessary and would ruin the glow of the silk fabric.

Scarves:

Scarves are hand dyed, or hand painted, or both. Hand sewn edges. They always vary in color, and may have irregularities, which is part of the hand made, unique process. No two are alike. The scarves can be personalized by adding the recipient's name. Buyers may choose between gold, silver, or black gutta, except where indicated otherwise.

Attention: The images of scarves are not updated, due to fast turnover. Will update as soon as possible.
