COLLEEN WESTE
SILK SHIBORI ARTIST
Further links for Colleen: www.silkandthreads.com |
I have been a silk artist for many
years
and have given lectures and workshops throughout
Australia
and
New
Zealand.
My love of
colour combines
with a spiritual connection to the bush to create individual silk
art to wear.
I am
addicted to dyeing on silk, Shibori
and stitchery and excited by their many possibilities.
I hand paint on silk.
Everything starts off
white
with dyeing, over-dyeing with French
dyes
and using a Shibori resist
technique to create colourful patterns and textures on cloth.
