Hand painted Silk Veil

This is one beautiful piece of art work hand painted on heavy silk by the lovely Shems! Soft colors of grays/pinks/purples/blues/white/silver with large flowers. Very luxurious!

I purchased this from Shems a couple years ago, who is also an amazing artist besides an incredible dancer! She used to do more of this custom work & maybe still does but I haven't used this yet and I hate to think of it sitting around where it cannot be enjoyed by others. It doesn't match any of my current costumes, so I'm happy to let it go to another dancer to be loved!
I believe she used to sell them for anywhere from $100-$200+? I can see this one day being a collectors item when the art world recognizes her talent! This is much more than your typical veil!

Shems if you're here, & can add to my description, please say hi!

Measurements 44 1/2" x 100 1/2" - signed in the corner

Asking $90 plus $5 shipping

You can see images of me with this veil in a photoshoot here (scroll down to the photos by Angela Brown):

Shadiyah is right. This is one of a kind, hand painted, made with a 10 mm silk. I sold these for over $100. This was one of my favorites, so I held on to it for forever, then eventually sold it to Shadiyah.
