This long silk scarf is ponge5 silk which is soft and light. I painted horizontal stripes of green dye. When dry I painted horizontal stripes of blue dye across the green dye. When dry I then painted horizontal aqua stripes against the green and blue dyes. I then repeated the sequence above. When wet dye is put against dry dye it creates a line similar to a row of stitching. A tartan pattern is created. The square scarf is then steamed to fix the dye. The scarf is then hand washable.
