THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
- Each artistic design is hand drawn on natural white pure silk with a gutta resist
- Using French dyes and paint brushes the color is blended and applied
- The painted silk is steam set permanently fixing the color then hand washed
- Each fashion piece is carefully cut out by hand and sewn together by Lynne Kiel
THESE ART PIECES
- Every piece is made individually from start to finish handmade by Lynne and every one is unique in its own way
- I have made my best effort to show proper coloring of the silk and artwork in my photos
