Crocodiles, smiles & fuzzy lines

Today I was going through my computer looking for some images, and this one of one of my silk scarves appeared ... and it just makes me smile :-)

I used to be a member of an artist group called ARTISTS FOR LIFE, and we focussed on Australian wildlife. We held exhibitions in Sydney which highlighted the plight of many endangered australian animals, and one of my favourites became the ringtail possum.

I love to draw cute animals, and those who know me well know that I draw LOTS of Koalas :-)

This cheery crocodile is handpainted onto white silk habotai, using French dyes and orange gutta. The background has been layed and fused using some of my techniques, and gives it an interesting flavour.

I'm thinking it might be time to paint some more of these scarves - is this something you like?

A good size would be 35" or 40" square; when draped or tied around the neck the actual design isn't obvious, but the patterns and shades can be complementary to your outfit. Some folks might even tie a scarf like this around their hat for a jaunty air :-)

So - let me know - should I resurrect this crocodile design?

Cheers
Teena!
