“Prowling Tigers” 🐅

A study of movement, quiet power and control… captured on silk.

This custom colour variation introduces warm amber tones, bringing the tigers to life while preserving the rhythm of the original design.

Hello everyone ✨

I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes, refining my website and beginning something new — my Atelier Journal.

I’ve just shared a piece on one of my favourite designs, *Monochrome Menagerie* — a story of strength, protection, and quiet power told through silk.

You can read the full story here:

And if you’d like to explore more of my work, you can find my silk collection under Handmade by Zen on my website 🤍

More to come soon..

**Not everything has to be seen…
some things are simply felt — like silk against the skin.
A quiet kind of luxury. ✨**

Jewelled Owls — where mystery meets craftsmanship ✨
Each owl is carefully brought to life through hand-painted detail, their eyes catching the light like hidden gemstones… watching, knowing, quietly powerful.
Set against a rich silk canvas, this piece draws from ancient symbolism and myth — where owls represent wisdom, intuition, and protection.
Every brushstroke flows naturally into the silk, creating movement, depth, and a design that feels almost alive.
This isn’t just a scarf… it’s a story you wear.

It began as a sketch…
then slowly, detail by detail, it came to life on silk ✨
Each elephant is hand-painted, carrying its own story through colour, movement, and form.
This is not just a scarf — it’s a piece of art you can wear.
Designed and hand-painted by me in my studio 🤍
Which detail caught your eye first? 🐘✨

Riviera Rose 🌹✨
A soft breeze, sun-warmed skin, and silk that moves like water…
Riviera Rose was created to capture that effortless elegance — where golden blooms drift across a tranquil blue, like a memory of summer that never fades.
Each piece is hand-painted on silk, allowing the colours to flow freely… no two ever truly the same.
Wear it as a whisper of luxury — by the sea, in the city, or wherever your story takes you ✨
