Description One of a kind, hand-crafted, long, floaty, 100% silk scarf, decorated with the marbling technique. Tamara is marbled on both sides. One side has a traditional marbling pattern and the other has marbled tulips, picked out with hand painting to provide more detail. The tulips are marbled in the Ebru marbling style on a blue marbled background. Every scarf is unique because only one side can be printed from each application of paint to size, and it’s impossible to get identical results twice. Marbling is a traditional process going back centuries. This Tamara scarf has been created with a twist on the Turkish Ebru marbling tradition. First of all the silk is soaked in a mordant which helps to fix the paints or dyes, and thoroughly dried. Then a pattern is created by floating the paints onto a viscous liquid called ‘size’ in a scarf-sized marbling bath. The paints will maintain their true colours rather than mixing with each other, but the blobs of paint can then be manipulated into designs such as the tulip flowers and leaves. While every attempt has been made to represent colours correctly, they will vary from screen to screen. However, if you are unhappy with the colour I accept returns, provided you use tracked postage. All marbled beauty scarves as washable at low temperatures and can be tumble dried on a low setting although we recommend hand washing in warm water and drip drying. Iron with a two spot (UK) iron.
