Inspired by the "infinity" scarf, I have dyed yardage, then sewn a tube leaving extended fabric creating "feather-like" fringe! Each scarf varies slightly in size, measuring approximately 12" x 29" (diameter), so the scarf can be wrapped twice. Fringe looks great at the side or the bottom! These are currently in the museum gift shop at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

This chiffon scarf is approx. 9" x 66" long. Hand-dyed and wet felted with merino wool. Soon these items will be available on Etsy!
Here they are! Inspired by the "infinity scarf" which was created by a designer named Marla in NJ, this scarf is dyed chiffon, then felted. The circle scarf can be worn long or wound around the neck twice! Very sheek!
These iridescent shawls lend themselves to great color combinations. The wool colors are "passionfruit" and periwinkle and I used silk/linen yarns of loden green and purple. Jasper stones are used for the closers.
Island Sunset Revisited
This dyed silk reminds me of some the beautiful sunsets seen over vast bodies of water.
This cacho will be featured in a fashion show for the Ann Arbor Women's City Club this month. The silk organza has been dyed and felted. The fringe of black and silver beads add just enough "glam" without going over the edge!
I love these polymer buttons! This plum cacho was pole-wrapped and color was removed creating the stripes.
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!
