There was a very unusual demonstration at the Fine Arts League of Cupertino meeting yesterday - silk art. Natasha Foucault was painting a long scarf with calla lilies. It’s a miraculous process: colors start very dark, then as the paint dries (Natasha had to speed it up with a hair dryer) they become light and vibrant.

Natasha also brought beautiful hand painted silk capes and scarves with her. The capes with eyes on them were the best. There is something bewitching about those wide open eyes floating on a colorful background.
