Working from her studio located on the Connecticut shoreline, Lucille, our silk artist uses the antique art form of marbling, which dates back to twelfth century Europe. Marbling is accomplished by floating drops of specialized pigments on a surface of thickened water, then running a comb-like tool through the ink to create a dramatic pattern. A treated scarf of 100% silk is placed on the surface until the design is absorbed. No two lavender marbled scarves are ever alike. Hand wash. Approx. 11'' x 58''.
