These necklaces are long - 36-37". They can be slipped over your head or wound twice as shown. Liking the chucks of stones! The green stones are olive turquoise and the small black stones are hematite. Silver is sterling and Bali.
Well, I'm building my inventory of scarves. Here's a couple of new ones.
Normally I try on the cáchos to make sure they set well on the shoulders. With this design, I discovered a new way of wearing it! In reverse - almost Hepburn-like.
I found these great buttons! They're made of polymer and are from Germany. Lightweight and really adds something to the garment!
I did a slight variation to this design. The fabric was pole-wrapped. This is a shibori technique called arashi (lightening). I applied paste that takes color away. Very fun process, because you never know what color will stay!
Currently these are for sale at $90 each plus shipping. They are handwashable. I'll be adding more as I make them and as they are sold, I will remove them from my blog. Other colors will be available soon!
I use a variety of yarns to embellish the cáchos. Sometimes the yarn drives the color choice of wool.
These are created by a technique called "nuno felting." It's a technique of wet felting to pre-dyed silk chiffon. This blue is so pretty! Great with black tank and jeans!
This accessory can be worn as a poncho, cape or shawl, hence the name Cácho! My sister Vicki and I came up with the name last year when they debuted at a home show in here in Michigan. My mom hosted it and boy, what a spread she put on! It was hard for the guests to shop with all the wine and great food that was served!
