Blowing in the Wind...
Our Touist Season has just begun in December. This means I am very busy in order to keep up with the most awaited Cruise Liner Tourist. These are just some of my most resent hand dyed and hand painted silk scarves. Each time I go to the Artisans Plaza in Old San Juan, I have to take a fresh supply of scarves to sell. Some of these have all ready been sold.
I try to have hand dyed in Tie Dye technique in all the sizes so as to give the customers a choice also must have some in the Silk Painting and Batik techniques where butterflies and flowers are the most popular

Tropical Storm Rafael : Storm-Centered Satellite Image | Weather Underground
Here we are again with big bad Tropical Storm Rafael ... right there ... to the right of Puerto Rico. Here on the Island just a few clusters of rain showers arriving from the North but nothing unusual. I live in the Metro area and altought I will get the initial rain and gusty winds ... but so far so good. Everything is peaceful just like any other Saturday afternoon. I always say ... the calm before the Storm ... Everything is unpredictable at the moment and so on a high alert mode.
Not so for the rest of the Islands all the way down to South America, they have been under the rain and clouds most of the day.

Batik Roses on Blue
Loved creating this hand drawn batik silk scarf.
The whites are nice and bright.
Also like how the backgound colors are so clear.
The primary leaves in chartreuse created a wonderful contrast with the Roses.
The seconary leaves or filler leaves in turquoise also create an exciting backgound to the yellow green leaves. I drew this design free hand making it a ... one of a kind.
Did not have a chance to put it in my Etsy Shop because as soon as I showed it to a friend ... she bought it right there and then. Loved that the most.
Will be creating more of these hand drawn Batiks ... stay tunned.

Fabulous Wednesday Afternoon in Old San juan
Gorgeous afternoon in Old San Juan ... super sunny, breezy and dry. Notice the Cruise Liner way back past the trees ready to go.
Kelly Green Charteuse Hand Dyed Silk Scarf
In 1764 this gorgeous yellow-green was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse and so the name.
I always like to use several shades of the same color and so I have added a beautiful bright kelly green on the border and deep blue green that highlight the two colors.
Wear with blue for echoes of nature or with tan beige or brown for an organic feel. Try with black and white and yellow for a sporty touch.

Thinking of her golden hair and her funky casual look ...
I decided to go ... Neutral ... and so was born my ...
