Handmade By Zen

Silk-painting , crossstitch calligraphy & bespoke accessories :

These above mentioned services are all done by hand. I do silk painting, embroidery with stones, sequins and thread work,cross stitch crotchet and mirror work. Silk Painting , embroidery etc can be done on a pre-existing silk outfit or can be done to make you an exquisite bespoke design on a silk fabric piece.

Visit my online shop on ETSY . The shop is only open once stock is in reserve. To order privately & urgently please visit my instagram profile at Handmade By Zen and leave a message.

My scarves, Enchanted Silks by Zen are being redesigned to incorporate a new technique I have leant via the Master Silk Painter Karen Sistek. All the silk paintings you see below are bespoke orders for clients. A Pret-a-porter line (ready to dispatch) will be available online on ETSY in the near future. Some of my designs that I have made over the years are now available to be purchased via Spoonflower into any choice of fabric, wallpaper or even upholstery fabric.

Below are pictures of hand-painted silk scarves and embroidery work done by Zen.
