This smaller long scarf has been painted with silk paints and no resist. It takes a long time to colour the silk this way, gradually building up the design with a tiny brush mixing small amounts of colour as I go, but the detailed result is very pleasing. Colours of  golden yellow starry flowers and rich burnt orange and vibrant mustard seed heads and stems. Tangles of lavender grey old heather stems and pure white silky bog cotton sways gently. A dark navy hillside is the background.
