Voila! Pretty "Silk Scarves Spring Collection" Unveiled!

My silks have been "green-dyed", their curing time is up, and I am ready to unveil the results!

I am really pleased with the colors I've gotten from this dye batch. I used mostly carnations and roses for these silks, changing each scarf's specific amounts of plant material and mordants slightly in their separate dyebaths, with fantastic results!

Just look at the range of colors! They are so pretty, I want to keep them all for myself, but I'm planning to list them on my Etsy shop this weekend (jennifoofanne). They're a limited edition collection; each one is unique and cannot be duplicated. I use a "green-dye" process, using plant materials without any harsh chemical dyes or mordants. The result is a gorgeous silk scarf with a subtle tie-dye look, and because I don't use harsh chemicals in the dye process, these silks are gentle on your skin.

This is going to be a short-term sale, so pick out the scarf you love the most and put it in your shopping cart quick! Before it's gone forever!
