  • Scarf Series 2010

    For the first time in two years I am making scarves. Here is the first of the new series, with some of the steps to make it. The stretcher system is new, courtesy of Mother who got tired of seeing me messing with foam core, rubber bands and push-pins.

    Finally, Mother painted a scarf this time. Here she is with her first silk scarf, painted with Dye-Na-Flow silk paints.

    Will paint more scarves this week and next.
