Inspiration from a friend.

I am always looking to be inspired for my next project. Most mornings I will check in on my laptop- mail, then facebook. Each morning my friend, fashion photographer Patrice Casanova,  posts a picture for the day. Usually it's a flower. This one gave me fodder for my dye pots for 2 days straight! Merci, Patrice! Lac and Logwood were used.

My new spring line.

Hung out to dry, or freeze, whatever happens first. Getting ready for a big order, I had to dye and dry about 30 silk scarves when we were hit with a snow squall. That makes these scarves touched by a little extra bit of mother natures magic. Dyes used were indigo, turmeric, quebracho red and yellow, lac and logwood purple.

And then there's "Mauve"!

This scarf has taken on almost all shades of pink and lavender and a few specs of purple here and there all melting together... and then there's "mauve"! I think Bea Arthur (who became the feminist TV icon in the "70's)would have rocked this then and now. I timeless accessory- The over sized scarf!
