Scarf Hand Screen Printed with Crab Design by Rosie Ware

Description

Step into style with a vibrant statement piece from Rosie Ware Designs: a bright orange ladies’ scarf, measuring 42cm x 152cm, crafted from sheer fabric and adorned with a striking mud crab design in bold black, meticulously hand-screen printed by the talented Rosie Ware herself.

Rosie Ware, a well-known textile artist from Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, uses linoleum blocks to create her designs. She carves these blocks by hand, then adds fabric paint and presses them onto different fabrics. Her style stands out for its repeated patterns, often featuring cultural and ocean themes inspired by her roots and the beautiful tropical setting around her.

Drawing from her cultural background and the stunning ocean views of her island home, Rosie finds inspiration for her designs in Torres Strait Islander culture, maritime history, and the lush plant life. Her attention to detail and unique printing process combine tradition and nature in a way that catches the eye and sparks imagination.
