THE STORY BEHIND
The Hand of Fatima is an ancient talisman that symbolizes feminine power. Originating from the Hebrew word hamesh, literally meaning five, the hand is worn as a defense against negative energy, deflecting the gaze of the evil eye away from the wearer. Believed to channel the forces of good, the Hand of Fatima promotes healing and fosters miracles.
THE ARTISTIC PROCESS Each item is individually hand made. The silk begins in natural white and the artistic design is drawn by hand with a gutta resist
WITH FRENCH SILK DYES and paint brushes the color is added and blended by hand creating one of a kind combinations.
WHEN DRY the silk is steam set to fix the color. once steaming is complete the silk is hand washed and ironed
THESE ART PIECES take time and each are unique in their own way. I have made my best effort to show accurate coloring of the silk and artwork in all my photos
THE FINISHED painted silk tank top is preshrunk and colorfast. Each top is individually hand cut and handmade which may result slight variations.
