Unique original art: Handmade 100% silk scarf made with wax painting technique (Batik)

Hello, my name is Athina Giannopoulou and I am an artist in Greece. I designed and painted this scarf using a very rare and unique technique called "Batik painting" (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batik).

To put it simply: I applied hot wax on the fabric on every area I wanted unaffected by color. Then I applied the first color to paint the clean parts. After the paint dried, I applied for a second time hot wax to different areas of the fabric that I didn't want to be affected by the second color. Then I painted again. After repeating the same technique for every color, this was the final result! The whole process of making this scarf took me weeks to complete...

The fabric is 100% silk and the dimensions are: 49x182 cm (19,3x71,6 in).

This is a unique original piece of art made with passion and love - not another like it can be found anywhere... Please support my work! My facebook page (in Greek) is: https://www.facebook.com/Χειροποίητες-δημιουργίες-από-την-Αθηνά-247623991923552/
