I have always been curious about working with silk. One of my new projects is working on a hair drawing and a design to be printed on 100% silk. I am planing on making a limited edition of hair scarves. Last week I was at Kala Art Institute making a few tests and the results are quite optimistic. I printed my first sketches directly on the silk and I am now researching on how to make the silk washable. I found a formula online to pre-coat the fabric and make it durable and I will experiment with it in the coming week. I hope to have the scarves ready for the next Open Studios in San Francisco Mission District, in April 2014.
A few photos below of the first test.

After 7 years as an Art Explosion artist, I am moving to a new studio space in 1890 Bryant Street Studios. Located in the historic Best Foods building in the Mission District, this landmark building is home to creative business, designers, painters, printmakers, jewelers, photographers and ceramists. I will miss the artist community in Art Explosion and I look forward to grow in my art practice in 1890 Bryant Street Studios. A new studio means a new beginning and for this reason I am doing an Art Sale of some of the work I created over the last 5 years (Yes, I still have a few Hair pieces available!)
Come by and help me say good bye to my old studio!
