About silk painting and me

Hello and welcome to SPECIALITIES.

In my time I have done many things of interest,but nothing is more satisfying than when I paint on silk. As you will see as you browse through our on-line shop, there are many different painted silks,and all washable with the exception of the framed pictures. I was always very much into art & craft,and when a silk painting course became available in my local area I decided to give it a go. I passed with five accreditations,and followed this up with a diploma in art & design technology(silk painting).

To date I have made so many silk projects that there are too many to mention,but I must say the best one of all was when I was asked to make a silk scarf for the actor Alan Rickman of Harry Potter and Die Hard fame, you will find this item on the silk pages. I make framed pictures,scarves, shawls,cushions,handkercheifs and napkins, I don't have a favourite type to do, I enjoy doing them all. If there is a particular image that you require,just ask and it shall be done.

About me and cakes

I have been making cakes for around 20 years,for friends and family. I enjoy the baking side but the best part is the decorating side. The good part of it all is when the person or people see the finished product and they are delighted with the result. And they taste good too! I feel that it is nice to help people that cannot afford a great expense and to see them smile afterwards

me and bouquets

Well,what can I say really....I did floristry,but as i have hey fever it was a bit of a let down for me with fresh flowers, so i decided to use silk ones instead. I don't just do them for weddings. I have been asked to do them for births, christenings, 40th etc. I try to put as much detail in as possible, including feathers,crystals,porcelain and diamontes, with a selection of complimenting ribbons. But you be the judge and take a look for yourself.
