Orange & Black Shaded, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Night Gown - NG044

Orange & Black Shaded, Hand Dyed Batik, 100% Cotton Night Gown - NG044Orange shading into black warm and striking, the orange is vivid at one end and the cloth darkens steadily until the black takes hold. The transition zone carries both colours in a deep amber brown that sits between them naturally. This is a high contrast shaded piece orange and black are far apart on the colour spectrum, and the gradient between them is more dramatic than the blue to black or purple to black versions.

The ovals have a gentle

The blue is a strong

and the cloth itself — so every piece turns out differently

Up close the pattern is intricate
