Fishing for a look.

What's in store?

Check it out! 26 new scarves in the Etsy shop today!

Like sleeping on a cloud...

Or under one. This sky blue and white linen duvet set was dyed with indigo is a dream.

Sayulita Color story.

I hesitate even to share the secret of the beautiful little town in Mexico, Sayulita. But that would be selfish... tsk, tsk....
We went for a week and could have easily become one of those ex- pat couples that move there, buy a VW, adopt a dog and stay forever...
Here is just a taste of the color and flavor of this lovely place. My scarves work well here!
We are going back in December. We will be sure to visit our friends ( the 2 handsome blokes in photos) who own the best juice bar in Sayulita, Orangy.

Echos of nature.

This shibori tied, twice dipped silk looks similar to a photo that NASA took of a volcano range in South America.
Weld and Indigo make for an emerald green and Lapis Lazuli blue scarf.

This false-color image of Colombia's Galeras Volcano, was acquired by UAVSAR on March 13, 2013. A highly active volcano, Galeras features a breached caldera and an active cone that produces numerous small to moderate explosive eruptions. It is located immediately west of the city of Pasto.

Mellow Yellow.

I'm just mad about weld. This citrussy, vivid yellow works surprisingly well with taupe from chestnut. Of course, the combination of weld extract and indigo is striking- but this is a tad more unexpected. Looks as though I'm not the only one with this idea... Michelle from Project Runway just won the Lord & Taylor challenge with her citrine and taupe mini dress.
