Handmade Store: Christine Amstutz

Welcome to my shop, welcome to you, dear customers!

Let me first give you a quick guide to my shop:

You will find my own, unique designs which I hand paint on silk scarves, silk neckties, silk wall art. Each silk item is one of a kind, never reproduced. The material is exclusively a 100% luxurious pure silk in different weights and weaves.

Now to my art work:
My silk creations represent what is very dear to me: beautiful, vivid colors, shapes and patterns, gold, landscapes, nature, flowers, space or decorative designs ... often inspired by my own photographs and certainly by the fact that I was growing up in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by majestic mountains, beautiful nature and so many natural phenomenons.

Why use pure silk for my creations? - I love the feel, the touch of this luxurious material, its lightness. Silk is my very favorite fabric for my own clothes, like silk scarves, silk blouses, even silk pants. Silk keeps me wonderfully cool during the hot summers ... and cozy warm in the cold winter months. What more could I wish for? - This is what I want to share with you... Once you have tried it out, you will never ever want to miss it! -

To hand paint on silk, I am using French dyes which I then steam fix so that every item becomes colorfast and can therefore be gently washed. On some silk neckties I am painting with heat set dyes and/or paint. Very often, my creations have gold or silver accents ... another additional and final touch.

You don't find what you are looking for? You have an idea for a special silk accessory gift for yourself or a loved one? Looking for different colors? Love a specific theme? I have a very wide range of creations: from monochrome to bright and shiny colors ... from dreamy pictures to bold results ... from abstract to figurative. - Please do contact me. Together we will find it: I shall create it specially for you!
