Green and Red Violet Tie Dye

Silk Scarf Tie Dyed Green and Red Violet

This tie dye silk scarf is in a beautiful chartreuse green which is a yellow green and I coupled with it's complementary color of burgundy, a red violet.

This color combo is very attractive especially for this time of the year when these two colors take center stage.

The chartreuse color is vibrant green perfect for the coming season. The burgundy, a red violet, sets the stage. A deep green with a ting of blue borders the edge. Wear with your earth tone colors as well as all your greens.

Lady Caguana Hand Painted Silk Scarf

This hand painted silk scarf with the "Lady Caguana" Petroglyph is made to order.

This particular Petroglyph is one of the most famous in Puerto Rico. Mujer de Caguana or Caguana Woman-figure is of high social ranking given that she is wearing an elaborated crown and large earrings. She is of advanced age as her eyes are closed and she has a bony thorax. Her lower body is as of frog legs symbolizing vitality and a fertility figure. Power is symbolized in her squatting position with that of demand for respect. She may be an ancestor figure from a noble or powerful family ... or simply a woman.

The other Petroglyph is the "Coqui Taino". This one is also very popular because it represent our tiny tree frog that is flesh tone and has a big ... COqui sound. This lovely sound is heard when daylight falls and at early dawn. You will now the morning light is approaching when the sound of the Coqui starts fading. They love the rain and so after a quick rain shower they will sing again.

These Petroglyphs are carvings on stone found in Puerto Rico and are prehistoric symbols created by the peaceful Taino Indians that inhabited the Island which have indured the test of time. You will find these designs scattered around the Island some in hidden places others in very open and accessable places. It always facinates me that they have been preserved and that someone like myself, an artist, was able to have their work of Art and Culture be seen today.

I have made this a ... Made to Order ... hand painted scarf as I will use the Petroglyphs which I do not change and keep as close to the original as possible. The Petroglyphs are hand painted, outlined in gold as well as the border leaves and stems.

Size: 11x60in * 27.94 x 152.4 cm in Habotai Silk also known as China Silk.

It is signed with my name and also Puerto Rico. It is dyed in camel tan with black.

The scarf will look very much like this one but not exactly the same as the border design is freehand. It will always be one of kind.

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.
