Hummingbird silk scarf
I am so proud of a new scarf I have painted recently! It is called Hummingbirds and it was designed as a 'stained glass' window!
If you are interested in how was it painted, take a look at some of my WIP photos!
Painting process and the Stained Glass technique
First - the design!
As stained glass windows are always build of smaller panels to make them more durable, I decide to divide my scarf in two squares and one rectangle (in the middle).
I decided to paint hummingbirds with pink hibiscus flowers on square panels. I had to make the colibri quite because I wanted them to stand out as accents among flowers.
The panel in the middle with hibiscus flowers I decided to paint life - size, to add variations to the design.

| Painting process taking a bit! All the lines have to be painted. |
