Alarte Silks Is A Company Specializing In One-Of-A-Kind Handpainted Silks Represented By Fine Craft Galleries Throughout The United States And Canada. While Shibori Is Typically Performed Before Coloring The Fabric, Izabela Instead Uses It After She Paints The Silks. As A Result, The Pleats Add Textural Element And Give The Scarves Dimension, Body And Sculptural Life. She Uses Them To Underscore A Feeling Of Movement For These Fluid, Sophisticated Pieces In A Range Of Mesmerizing Colours.
