Alison paints with French silk dyes and gutta resist that are applied to various sizes of 8mm Habotai scarves or “China silk.” Each piece is first created by using a frame, applying gutta resist, painting, drying, and then the finished silks are heat set through a lengthy steaming process. The finished silk pieces can be worn as scarves or sashes and can also be displayed as table runners, banners, signs, or wall tapestries/hangings. For best results, Alison recommends to dry clean her silk creations and not to hang them outdoors for permanent display. Any of these silk paintings can also be mounted on canvas - just contact Alison for more information.
