Pink and Dynamic Red and Black Hand Dyed Silk Scarf


Love and beauty,  life and vitality are the meaning of these colors.  Black frames these warm tones and created impact.


Both Pink and Red are stimulating and warm. Pink provides the feeling of love and caring and Red passion. I added the black for the bold and mysterious aspect it brings to love and passion.

Batik Roses on Blue

Loved creating this hand drawn batik silk scarf.  


The whites are nice and bright.
