This silk veil is hand-dyed in a bold and beautiful double rainbow stripe, with a brilliant purple center that blends into rainbow colors in either direction.

The silk veils I create are wonderful for belly dancing but also very versatile and suitable for many different purposes.

They are also lovely draped or tied around the shoulders over a simple tank or chemise. One silk worn as a skirt and a second worn as a shoulder wrap creates a graceful and sophisticated ensemble that is sure to make you feel like a goddess.

Silk veils also make wonderful additions to decor around the home. They can be hung to accent a wall, wrapped around the top of curtain rods as a unique valance or draped over the back of a couch or chair in a sitting room, study or bedroom. The possibilities are endless.

The soft feel of silk is excellent for developing babies, providing a wonderful sensory experience as they grab the fabric and focus on the colors. They are great for "peek-a-boo" and other games for older babies. And they make the perfect soft, lightweight and comforting covering for sleeping little ones.

As a mother to five children ages 6 weeks to 11 years, I can guarantee that the first (and often only) things that I grab to entertain little ones when going out or even on vacation is a couple of play silks! Introducing your child, grandchild or other special child in your life to the wonder of playing with silk is a truly wonderful gift that will last for many years.

I offer play silks in many sizes and colors. Larger silks can be used for building forts and canopies as well as more versatile dress-up play for older children. Smaller silks are wonderful for smaller hands. I create silks in complex patterns as well as in simpler marbled, crinkle and solid designs. I am currently accepting custom orders and am happy to work with you to create colors of your choosing should you not see what you are looking for in stock. I also create custom gift packages consisting of silks in different sizes, colors and patterns to suit your needs.

This size silk will be dyed to order, so please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping. If you need it sooner, it is usually no problem; just "convo" me and let me know!

Bellydance silk veil, 45 by 108, turquoise and purple

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:47:01 -0500

$32.00
This silk is hand-dyed in a simple yet bold two-tone stripe of turquoise and purple.

This silk has been hand-dyed in a brilliant yellow accented with tiny hints of orange.

The silk veils I create are designed for belly dancing but are also very versatile and suitable for many different purposes. They can be wrapped around the waist in several different ways to make a sarong or skirt that is perfect for a day at the beach, resort or spa, yet elegant enough for an evening out. They are also lovely draped or tied around the shoulders over a simple tank or chemise. One silk worn as a skirt and a second worn as a shoulder wrap creates a graceful and sophisticated ensemble that is sure to make you feel like a goddess.

Silk veils also make wonderful additions to decor around the home. They can be hung to accent a wall, wrapped around the top of curtain rods as a unique valance or draped over the back of a couch or chair in a sitting room, study or bedroom. The possibilities are endless.

This veil design is currently being custom dyed to order, so please allow from 1 to 2 weeks for shipping. If you need it faster it is usually no problem, just send me a "convo" to let me know the urgency! Thanks!

Rainbow stripe playsilk canopy, 35 by 108 inches, waldorf-inspired toy

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:46:25 -0500

$30.00
This beautiful hand-dyed silk play canopy in brilliant rainbow colors, measuring approximately 35 by 108 inches, is perfect for all sorts of imaginative play. Playsilks are wonderful for dancing and twirling, building forts, creating stages and backdrops for puppets, tying on as capes or fairy skirts or other dress-up items and other dramatic play. The soft feel of silk is excellent for developing babies, providing a wonderful sensory experience as they grab the fabric and focus on the colors. This size also works fabulously as a canopy with wooden playstands or other fixtures. They are great for "peek-a-boo" and other games for older babies. And they make the perfect soft, lightweight and comforting covering for sleeping little ones. A basket of play silks in the corner of the room is the perfect toy and can provide house of open-ended play for all ages.

As a mother to six children ages 6 weeks to 11 years, I can guarantee that the first (and often only) things that I grab to entertain little ones when going out or even on vacation is a couple of play silks! Introducing your child, grandchild or other special child in your life to the wonder of playing with silk is a truly wonderful gift that will last for many years.

I offer play silks in many sizes and colors. Larger silks can be used for building forts and canopies as well as more versatile dress-up play for older children. Smaller silks are wonderful for smaller hands. I create silks in complex patterns as well as in simpler marbled, crinkle and solid designs. I am currently accepting custom orders and am happy to work with you to create colors of your choosing should you not see what you are looking for in stock. I also create custom gift packages consisting of silks in different sizes, colors and patterns to suit your needs.

This size silk will be dyed to order, so please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping. If you need it sooner, it is usually no problem; just "convo" me and let me know!

Bellydance silk veil, half circle pair, purple blue fuchsia

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:46:25 -0500

$80.00
Silk half circles make a beautiful and dramatic presentation on the stage when used as a pair or alone during bellydance or other dance performances.

This silk half circle veil is dyed in shades of pinks, purples, blues, fuchsia, accented with deep black. This is a one of a kind artist piece and is ready to ship. It is actually a "two of a kind" piece, as the two silk pieces were tied together as though they were one piece and dyed together, so they are as close to identical as you can get! I used a special dye process, with dye applied over a period of days, to achieve the detail and depth of color in these veils.

These are more petite half circles at 45" by 90", so they are wonderful for double veil work.
