Hand Painting

This piece is done with immersion dye and hand painting.  I started by immersion dying this 4 yard piece of silk in natural dyes to create an earthy background color. Then, using synthetic dyes I hand painted the pattern.  This piece was inspired by moss growing on trees and the interesting shapes it grows in.
