5 out of 5 starsI was delighted to discover the creativity and artistic talent of Lynn and her delightful handmade creations. The Sweetheart cross body caught my eye and I ordered one. It was perfect for my daughter's birthday gift. I just received two more - one for myself and one for my daughter-in-law. I love the quality handiwork the sets off Lynn's eye for combining colors, textures and shapes. These are big enough to hold my iphone 12 Pro Max, a card holder or thin wallet, keys. few cosmetic pieces. Lynn is working on some new creations for the Fall, so I will come back to see what she's done over the summer. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsThis infinity screams spring/summer! It’s so beautiful with the peach tones and aqua tones. Its a definite must buy!
Instead of spending money on a new top blouse or dress, put this over something you have in your closet and it turns it into something new! -

5 out of 5 starsI LOVE my Silkscape scarf so much! It’s fresh, original, and makes me oh-so-happy. I have a lot of scarves, and this one is different from any of the others. I also have the black/white scraps scarf and love that one too. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Lynn!

The pursuit of unique design and high quality craftsmanship is my number one priority. I strive to make each piece of merchandise a joy to own.
My journey in life has brought me full circle. As early as I can remember I was destined to make things. I spent my spare time sewing and painting and in 1969 landed an art scholarship to college. The next decade I honed my skills as a fiber artist - weaving, spinning, felt making, sewing and hand painting fabrics for sculptural fiber art and art to wear. In 1978, while living in Washington D.C., I crossed paths with another fiber artist and SILKSCAPES INC. was born. We created hand painted silk clothing and accessories and began wholesaling our products to local boutiques. Fate intervened shortly thereafter and we found ourselves separated by half the globe. My husband's career as an infectious disease doctor brought us to the Philippines for 2 years where I located a batik factory and taught the local artisans our hand painting techniques. We created a collection widely recognized for its artistry, whimsy and enduring high quality. In 1984 I moved to Atlanta and my partner ended up in Boston. Over the next 2 decades we had to reinvent our company and change with the times - but our corporate vision of 'Art for the Body and Soul' remained steadfast throughout. With partners in 2 cities, silk imported from Hong Kong, dyes from France and production in the Philippines, we made use of the word global long before the internet was invented. Before it was chic we always operated from home offices trying to balance work and family. We sold our creations to major stores such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, Saks Fifth Avenue and I appeared on QVC. We were even asked to create wardrobe items for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and The Golden Girls TV shows. In 2000 my partner retired and I continued the business under the LRW DESIGNS label. Production remained overseas until the end of 2012. In 2013 I decided to return to my roots as a crafter and go back to creating one of a kind textile creations.
