| Title: "Into the Wild" Ties |
| Dimensions: 3.5 inch wide ties |
| Inspiration: Inspired by all that is wild: wild grasses, wild fire, wild land. |
| Materials and Techniques: 100% silk crepe de chine handpainted using an ancient Japanese technique of wax resist dyeing called Roketsu-zome . The process dates back to 710 AD and was used to add patterning to kimono silks. Layers of silk dyes and special smoooth wax are applied with a brush to create the designs. |
