Painting on silk

 Painting on silk
One day I asked my husband to take some photos of me working - the result this little photo story.
This is my little studio. In fact it is place on my kitchen oak table.


 
My modest silk dyes collection. I have main colors that I mix in various ways - if I need something special. 
Almost all colors on my silk paintings are mixed, only sometimes I use pure dyes, it determines the identity of my work.


My  MUSA and the guardian of good energy in my works during all painting process.



I paint on silk which is mounted on  wooden frame, handmade by my husband Bronius.


Often I work without any real sketches - they are inside me. I just took contour and draw the lines on pure white silk. Then mold the dyes.

When painting is over -I have to iron silk scarf for half an hour, then taking some photos for listing it on Etsy.

Columbus Day

    Celebrate Columbus day!

      Columbus Day first became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1906, and became a federal holiday in 1934. However, people have celebrated Columbus' voyage since the colonial period. In 1792, New York City and other U.S. cities celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event. More interesting information HERE.
