Handpainted silk memories
Friday, April 18, 2008
It's raining and cold here in Sydney today as we inch closer towards winter ... so I've been going through some old photos, and thought I'd share them with you ...
Above: That's me on the left (Teena) and my gorgeous friend Anca, wearing her handpainted silk charmeuse top which I made for her for Xmas (photo taken 16 April 2003). I'm wearing my handpainted silk chiffon Teena-Top in lime green and turquoise (over a white tank top to show the colours). Oh they're so bright and yummy, I love this photo!
Above: Here is a range of my handpainted silk chiffon coats which I painted whilst living in the tropics at Trinity Beach, far north Queensland (Australia) around 2004-2005.
Above: Here is a handpainted silk habotai coat I was painting around 1992. I stretched the silk on a frame, then drew the outline of the front of a coat, and painted from there.
Above: at the bottom of this photo is a whole shebang of my handpainted silk chiffon scarves, painted in the tropics about 2004. I also made a couple of cushion covers in bemsilk for my cane sofa, which you can see at the top of the photo.
Aaaaah I love the vibrant colours which I paint, the way the silk interprets my joy of life as it ebs and flows across the silken fibres to create these gorgeous patterns for me to turn into beautiful wearable art and furnishings ...
That''s my little dose of walking down memory lane today :-)
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Cheers
Teena!

Hey Teena!
The hot pink and lime green cushion covers (last picture) is exactly what I've been looking for everywhere here in Mississauga. NO ONE has any fabrics or accessories in those colours. So frustrating! Are yours for sale?
