hand painted (with salt technique) green silk bandeau and pareo combo, with a white cotton "jacket" (very loose weave).  This looked sensational on the runway, and the model did it justice!!

I consider myself a textile artist.  I love to use fabrics as my canvas - mostly silks, cotton voile and silk rayon.  Currently where I am from (St Lucia, Windward Islands - small isle in the Caribbean), good quality fabrics are practically non-existent.  I have to rely on friends traveling to the USA or Europe for good fabrics, but I persevere!!  I also design and sew beach/resort wear (just starting!!), and so far the responses have been good, not great, but good.  All my hand painting is one of a kind (I find it hard to duplicate).  I also sew my own designs; I try to keep them simple, e.g. scarves/pareos, shorts, mini caftans (square and round), loose tops, skirts. I would like feedback from readers, please.
