THE STORY BEHIND
According to the ancient legends, the gecko was a powerful spiritual guardian living in the fish ponds. ... The gecko was never harmed, and even had the ability to change colors when threatened.

WITH FRENCH SILK DYES and paint brushes the color is added and blended by hand creating one of a kind combinations.
WHEN DRY the painted silk is steam set to fix the color. once steaming is complete the painted silk is hand washed and ironed
