Rory Worby
Mom deserves the best – so show it with a customized one-of-a-kind and hand painted scarf, robe or even scrunchie from Rory
Worby. Rory, a New York based artist with decades of experience in the apparel industry, creates hand painted silks that are indeed wearable works of art! Inspired by nature, her motifs feature gorgeous flowers, birds and soothing color palettes. Worby starts by pre-washing the finest grade silks to ensure a soft hand. Then, like an artist’s canvas, she stretches the silk on a frame and hand-paints it using environmentally friendly dyes, non-toxic water-based resist, and natural sea salt applied with Japanese sumi brushes. The colors are fixed by a steaming process, then re-washed to extract any remaining dye.
