Fleur-de-lis pattern on velvet with the reverse in 100% pure silk.
The technique is known as devoré, from the French for “devoured,” because the silk is spackled away by an applied paste.
Hand-hemmed

Cicely Gilman, the artist, quilts silk into wall hangings, creates framed mix-media silk art, and hand-makes silk scarves using unique patterns.
New. Here. Now. Fairweather House and Gallery. January. 2023.
Cicely Gilman uses a special sugar, salt, and sunlight recipe on silk to create unique patterns.
Cicely Gilman is a vibrant North coast personality in fashion and textiles. Throughout her life, she has cultivated a personal style that is both witty and exuberantly idiosyncratic.
She dresses to complement her art using fabrics adorned with her textiles.
And, once upon a time, our very own Vanessa K. Stokes, abstract watercolor, pen, and ink artist, had the opportunity to meet the fashion icon Cicely Gilman at an after-hours event. Vanessa, a self-styled icon-in-the-making, says, “When I get dressed for someplace to be, I will spend more time searching to find an outfit and doing my makeup than I will spend at the actual event.”
Gallery opening receptions with LIVE music by Chelsea LaFey and Richard Thomasian, artist talks, Seaside LIVE ™ painting demonstrations, door prizes, and treats.
