General Information
Fabric: All works are painted on either 100% Silk
Satin or Crepe de chine. When there is backing, 100% off-white
or black Silk Noil (raw silk), or Habotai silk are used.
-Sizes are approximate.
-Colors shown are to be taken as approximate as
they will show up differently on-line and vary somewhat from piece
to piece.
-Variations: Since every painting is original, there
will be slight differences with each piece. Variations occur naturally
in the weave of the silk and these are not to be considered flaws.
-Customizing: Many pieces offer a choice in line
color, background color, and wording for the same price as the
pictured work. Most designs shown can be adapted to hangings,
scarves, bags, pillows, or ceremonial pieces. See the Customizing
page for details.
-Cleaning & Care: All scarves may be hand washed
in cool water with a mild liquid soap, towel rolled to remove
excess water, and dry ironed while damp with a cover cloth. Do
not let wet silks lay crumbled in a heap. Artworks that have cording,
fringe or tassels must be dry cleaned only. Silks that are sewn
with prewashed Silk Noil or Habotai may be hand washed and ironed,
or dry cleaned; if the Silk Noil is not prewashed, dry clean only.
Wall hangings and pillows should not be placed in an area that
receives direct sunlight. Silks are best stored in a place where
there is circulation of air, i.e. drawers and closets, but not
in closed plastic bags.
-Delivery Time: In general, expect 4-6 weeks for
a custom order, and 5 days to 2 weeks to receive a work that is
in the current inventory. In some cases "rush orders"
may be possible.
