Butterflies in Silk



#6  This scarf was the recent result of getting my silk scarves and dyes out.  Mostly, I was just hoping to re-familiarize myself with how the dyes act on the fabric.  I drew the butterflies free style with resist and then just played with colors and let them mingle on the silk.  The whole process, including the steaming and washing, was much simpler than I remembered.  Next up: something with grapes.  The scarf is already stretched on the frame.
