FUN FACTS
Between 1634 and 1637, the enthusiasm for the new flowers in Holland triggered a speculative frenzy now known as the tulip mania that eventually led to the collapse of the market three years later.
Tulip bulbs had become so expensive that they were treated as a form of currency, or rather, as futures, forcing the Dutch government to introduce trading restrictions on the bulbs
THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
- Each artistic design is hand drawn on natural white pure silk using a gutta resist
- Using French dyes and paint brushes the color is applied
- The painted silk is steam set permanently fixing the color then hand washed
- Each Applique has fusible interfacing applied, then is ironed and adhered to the T-shirt front. Finishing with a decorative stitch detail
THESE ART PIECES
- Take time and each are unique in their own way
- I have made my best effort to show proper coloring of the silk and artwork in my photos
- Each item is hand made from start to finish by Lynne which may result in slight variations
