Hand Dyed Silk Scarf - Orange Flowers from the 60's - Habotai Silk Scarf by Laura 2024 Elderton (approx. 8x54 inches)

This small Habotai 8mm or “China Silk” scarf is lightweight & colourful - well suited for summer or fall.

There are a lot of colours and designs playing with each other in this scarf. It's genera is somehow reminiscent of the 1960's. I think it could be the simple orange flowers that give that impression. Perfect worn with jeans (as it has a hint of blue 2024 in it), or with a white or brown outfit

I brush in the dyes - this allows me to control the shading of the colour. I then use wax to capture and save the colour before the next dye application. This creates multiple layers of colour and patterns. After I finish with the artwork, the wax is mostly ironed out and then “steamed” to set dyes on a molecular level, leaving only the feeling of silk. From then on the silk scarves can easily be hand washed.
