‘Gossip’ large painted silk scarf Carole Waller
e.
Jane Austen lived in Bath – and I love the thought of all those ladies and gentlemen of her books and in Bath – strolling around with nothing to do but gossip, heard and half heard.
So I took snippets of dialogue from Northanger Abbey, ‘Persuasion’ and from her diaries – and scattered and overlapped them on this small series of 1 blouse and 5 scarves. This silk crepe de chine scarf is in soft greys and creamy white with some slate grey and small blocks of olive and rusty orange.
‘Gossip’ large painted silk scarf measurements :
Length: 188cm/74”
Width : 53cm/21”
Handwash and iron on hot. Silk is easier to iron when very slightly damp.
Carole Waller art to wear:
Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. They are handpainted and screenprinted by me at my studio just outside Bath. I use my fabrics as unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work so no two pieces are the same. Every scarf is signed and you can commission me to make a piece especially for you. I cannot colour match, but I can promise you a unique artwork. I welcome visitors anytime, by appointment. The studio and small showroom is at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome. Waller and Wood also shows beautiful stoneware ceramics by Gary Wood.
The code for this piece is CW24
