Jill has cancer.  With some basic guidelines:  color, garden flowers and size, I was commissioned by her husband, to paint a scarf.  “. . . to help make her feel better.”  With this intention, I started to paint. . .

 

I believe we can heal through art, as an artist or as the person viewing the art.  The idea of surrounding yourself with beautiful things, you truly enjoy can help you feel better!  According to resources on:  http://www.artashealing.org  “The creative process moves a person into deep relaxation, promotes hope and a positive outlook, and offers stimulation and inspiration.”  Each brush stroke in For Jill is infused with this positive healing energy.  Many blessings go out to Jill and her family . . .

The Process

Step 1

Excellent natural light and energy at my kitchen table, plus a little inspiration help me to create endless design possibilities on silk scarves.

drying

Some scarves are dyed and dried on my kitchen floor.

pre-steam

Each scarf is carefully prepared and wrapped, before setting the dye

Pre-steam

It is important that no water condensates on the silk.

Steaming

Three hours in a steam bath will make the dye vibrant and permanent.
