Painted & Eco-print Scarves

Here are a couple of hand-painted & eco-print ahimsa silk scarves. All the colors are from plant materials, and cochineal. I finish these scarves with a hand rolled hem, which is more time consuming, but worth it because the sewing thread is nearly invisible -unlike a sewing machine hem. I'll be producing a number of these scarves for an upcoming design fair here in Berlin, so in a later post I'll put up some pics showing the process.
