Wildflower Marionette/Mobile

The movement and warm colors of plants is expressed in the silk gown that the wildflower marionette wears. Her silks are hand-dyed with plant fibers, colored with pigments, and a rice paste resist defines the design through use of the Japanese katazome technique.  May be used as a marionette or as a mobile to hang above the nature table.

Katazome Hand-Printed Scarves

The ancient rice paste printing technique katazome is practiced on silk gauze cloth to create wearable art scarves.

To create the scarves, I begin by cutting stencils out of mulberry paper for the designs.  The silk scarves are hand-printed with rice paste resist, natural dyes, pigments, and soy as a binder.  After pasting, printing, coloring, and washing out rice paste, each scarf is hemmed by hand and fixed to hold the color.

The scarves are available in both silk chiffon, and silk crinkle gauze.  Silk chiffon has an airy quality with a weighted graceful drape.  Silk crinkle gauze has a lighter draping quality which folds upon itself when worn.

There will be slight variations in color because each scarf is completely handmade.  These silk scarves may be gently washed and enjoyed for many years.

Please choose a design, and either crinkle chiffon, or smooth chiffon gauze. If you'd like colors other than shown, please make a note in the text box, and then click the Add to Cart button.

Linen Gown

The medium-weight linen gown is cool and comfortable as an undergarment, nightgown or light house dress, it softens and becomes less wrinkly as it wears and washes.  Each gown is finished with flat felled seams, thin bodice tucks, cotton lace and glass jewels are added for ornament.

The gown comes in easy to fit sizes, it drapes and flatters the body beautifully.  It is best to give plenty of room so as to be comfortable.  Measurements are welcome, please include your measurements in the comment box when ordering.

I have been making these gowns for many years and they remain popular.
