Tit Birds scarfs - which one do YOU like?

Painting Birds. 

I love painting birds, and tits are so adorable that I can not stop working on tit-themed scarfs!
I'm testing new ways of painting now, trying to decide if I like them better with white outline or with additional black lineart.

This one is slim, with fiery red berries. I re-painted it recently, so I have some new photos.

Tit Birds On Blue

Re-painted last month. I like how subtle the color set is.

Tit Birds in Blue - subtle and blue, very very blue :)

Tit Birds On White (my favorite!)

It took a lot of work, to paint black outline on such a bright background (very tiny and very dry brush painted extremely slowly) but the effect is almost comic-like.

Tit Birds In Snow on Etsy - my favorite!

The Star silk scarf

This scarf with constellations (really real, done them over a night sky chart!) and Milky Way galaxy was done as a special request on a pure silk in size 49 x 11 inches.

How the scarf came to be? 

I love doing commissions! My customers always find themes or color sets that I would not think on my own, so it's really the best way to put your creativity and skills to the limit.

One of the first sketches, rough and quick but it spoke to my lovely customer!

We started with a few sketches, then we tried different colors and then... yup, I was facing the constellation map on my screen and later on a paper. I had to meticulously place each and every star of the zodiac signs to their rightful spot. It was a slow- going process, but totally worth the time!

Ready to see more photos?

Here they are! Note how the scarf is almost non transparent, but there's a delicacy and vibrancy of the pure silk. Oh, my favorite medium of all!

Here be Dragons! On silk!

Dragons on silk scarfs

Hello everybody! Today, I wanted to share with you my designs with dragons. I worked on the series for some time now and I must say painting mystical creatures gives me a lot of joy... but for some reason dragons seem to be the most popular among my customers.

A lot of details! A lot of scales. I really like the color set, and how it changes depending on the time of the day and type of light. Sometimes it looks blue - red, sometimes turquoise - orange. Funny! Almost like the dragons were actually alive!

How about this color set? Dragons should be green, right?  I rarely paint on square scarf, but this feel like a perfect fit, does it not?

Dragon Scales silk scarf

Red again! I recently purchased most vivid red paint so I'm on a red-painting spree! I was planning to paint scales for a long time and this seems to be the perfect color for it!

By the way, do you know there's a legend about a dragon that lived in a cave under the kings castle in my hometown? Really!
You can visit the cave now (it's officially called the Dragon Cave) and you can see the monument of the dragon... which actually breaths fire! For some time there was a special number you could sent a SMS to from your phone to make him breathe fire and it costed like 1 Euro. It was crazy fun!
