These pages show examples of different techniques, materials, and shapes of scarves.

 

Overpainting

In this technique, the scarf is stretched and then painted with dye. Dyes are allowed to freely bleed into each other. Often after a first application of dye dries, a second layer is applied to add details, as the dye does not bleed as much when painted over dried dye.
