Description

Silk Veil 35" X 84"


Plant Dyed with: Log Wood, Turmeric and Beeswax

When my son was small, I wanted to put a star silk veil over his bed. I could not find a star silk I liked, so I decided make it on my own. That was how my plant dye practice started seven years ago.


I was upstate one weekend staying at a cabin that had no electricty. The night sky there left me speechless. In NYC, it is not easy to see the stars, but they are always there above the light cloud cover of NYC. I hope this star veil will be a little reminder that stars are always with us and within us.
