Briny deep.

This scarf reminds me of the underwater world and the kelp beds in California.
From a deep and briny green, to brighter yellow/green and teal as you get closer to the "surface". Come up for air and throw on your sarong. Can you say, "Margarita, please?"
Indigo and osage orange.

Naturally Neon.


Okay- typically not my color palette but when you see these colors in nature and you can get these colors without harsh chemicals, why not go with the flow?
Lapis Lazuli flows into citrine, which flows into cornflower blue which flows into chartreuse. A combination of Osage orange over dyed with indigo and this high quality Paj silk make these vibrant prism like colors. I think it would be more difficult to achieve these colors with cotton fibers.

Seeing dots.

Lemon and tangerine sherbet like tones with an overlay of big polka dots. The sheer cotton blend was initially dyed with turmeric and then over dyed with an Osage Orange and cutch cocktail. I dipped a shot glass in the mixture with a drop of thickener to make the over-sized polka dots. The scarf measures a generous 70"x 50".
