Leaf in the Corner outlet Mandala - Hand painted silk tarot cloth, altar cloth, square scarf - 25 x 25 inches, crepe de chine silk
A green and blue grey cloth, with a floral mandala in an off-center design, with leaves around. I love mandala designs. They are always a challenge while being a warm comfortable friend as well. Painting in a corner provides a fun change in perspective.
Use it as an altar cloth, wall hanging, tarot cloth, scarf, whatever feels right to you.

Crepe de chine silk has a fabulous texture. It has just a little more weight than my other silks, and more of a matte finish.
25 x 25 inches, 100% crepe de chine silk. All of my pieces are hand washable and colorfast.
*About silk painting*
I paint using the serti silk painting technique: I use a resist to draw lines, separating the colors of dye and preserving the white of the silk underneath, then I mix the shades that I want and apply silk dyes with a brush. Then the piece is steamed to set the colors, washed and ironed, and it's ready to go. Each one is different, and silk painting is very unforgiving, you can't erase, so there may be small imperfections. It's part of the character of handmade work.
