Etsy Featured Artist - gilbea

Luxurious silk! AND on top of its already natural beauty, gilbea (sorry, I couldn't find her actual name...) adds to its richness by painting it in oh-so-lovely colors and patterns. So rich, so warm, so luxurious!
Gilbea is from Spain and used to be a watercolor painter. A few years ago, she discovered silk painting and became hooked.

"Silk Hand painted Scarf - Red and Grey Leaf and Flower Design" is SO beautiful and vibrant. I want this one! :)
One of a kind, this shirt is eye-catching with its unique hand-painted silk piece sewn on. The artist states that each shirt she makes has a one-of-a-kind painting.
"Silk and leather necklace" is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted piece of silk attached to a piece of leather and strung on a cord for a fun, unique necklace. So pretty!

Visit Gilbea's etsy shop for more beautiful silk art pieces.
To see what she's up to, and what's new and upcoming in her shop, visit her blog.
Her web page also has items that are promotional items and custom work, that you won't see in her shop.
