Silk Scarf flora

Has there ever been a better artist in the whole history of art than nature itself? Those effortlessly, carelessly brilliant lines, intriguing and intricate designs, those gorgeous colours and wild abstractions. What can a person do except stand back and admire the work in its infinite variety and invention? Well actually, there is something. And that’s to give thanks and offer up something beautiful in return.

Silk Scarf flora Story

This is our wonderfully large “Calendula” pure silk scarf, printed from an original lino-cut plate and cast in plaster to add layers and textures, which really come to life at such a large scale. I’ve always loved the detail of small, precious items found on morning walks. The feather and Calendula started as a quick monotone sketch with colour notes for printing. Lino-cuts were created before inking with muted greens, smudgy blues and soft pinks reminiscent of dewy Summer mornings. These were cast in plaster to add layers and textures which really come to life on the large silks and soft cashmere. Trimmed with an inky blue chiffon edging to frame the original image. We hand wrap each item in slim white gift boxes finished with smart double ribbons, so it arrives looking special. Both packing and postage is included in the price shown. READ MORE→

It goes without saying that all our scarves are ethically produced using environmentally considerate dyes and natural materials. But we’ll say it anyway.
