Shipping time ranges from 3 days to 4 weeks, leaving the artist ample time to create you an original artwork. Upon your order, we will call you to discuss whether your purchase is the scarf you see or an original reproduction. Thank you for understanding the creative process, and supporting the artist, Javier Granados. For any questions, please contact CreativeTeam@ArtUrbane.com, and we will respond within one business day.

Process
This silk scarf is individually hand drawn, waxed with hot wax, hand painted with brilliant permanent French dyes, wax removed with boiling water and after this long process, the silk scarf edges are hand rolled and sewn.

Batik is a multi-step process that requires great care, technique and time. Each step takes a day or two depending on the design.

We pride ourselves in creating high quality work and technique with little or no mistakes only acquired through years of experience as Batik artists. But with any hand painted work of art there will always be signs that it was made by an artists hands which adds to it uniqueness and magic.

Cleaning Instructions
All scarves can be handwashed. Soak the scarf in lukewarm water with a mild soapy solution (Woolite). Rinse in clear, cool water until all the soap is gone. Roll up in a towel to remove moisture, then dry flat on a towel or on a padded hanger. Iron with a low-medium temp iron while still slightly damp or steam dry.

From the Artist:

My “Material Matters” series examines the challenges of organizing textile fabrics into coherent collaged works. It plays against the usual association of fabrics as being pliable and focuses on their ability to form collages out of a multitude of prints and to create their own structural formations. It is a study of color, pattern and form using a non-traditional medium (fabric and stitching) to create fine art wall reliefs. The various printed and solid fabrics are the canvases with which I collage forms in a formal process to create a composition. The stitching helps to interconnect the forms by creating texture and marks on my "canvas"--similar to a painter using brush strokes to create marks in their paintings.

Dimensions: 32"W X 20"H

Biography and Story

"Thread, fabrics and yarn are my paints. Instead of brushstrokes, I stitch. My stitching is done primarily via sewing machine – an instrument emblematic of the female role. I see strength and power in the stitch and feel its history; it is a way of leaving a print to be remembered, beckoning you to take a second look. The sewing machine is transformed into an artistic tool that I use to create contemporary art."

Sandra’s eye and tactile sense were initially developed through exposure to the fabrics printed by her parents’ company, Alexander Henry Fabrics, Inc. She maintained her involvement in her parents’ efforts while taking art classes at Pomona College, attending USC Law School and during her employment at major corporations and law firms. She has taken art classes at Otis College of Art and Design, UCLA Extension, and Brentwood Art Center.
