Hand painted silk. This is a steampunk design. Steampunk is a sub classification of science fiction fantasy. Steampunk imagery is often mechanical/Victorian and wild west in nature. Karla Kay Art designs often incorporate 3 dimensional images and perspectives to create depth. This hand drawn and hand painted one of a kind, original silk charmeuse scarf can be worn or hung on the wall. The original piece is 14" X 71".
