    About

    • Your purchase will arrive in an elegant gift box.
    • Sheer chiffon and luxurious satin scarves with unique designs. My imagery is based on fractals and procedural art.
    • Not just for women: my line of Men's accessories is growing, with silk ties, cravats, and pocketsquares.
    • Some of my customers get very creative, using the scarves as wall decor or framed artwork.

    Wearable Mathematical Art by Ellen Meiselman.

    I really love seeing my digital, algorithmically generated designs come to life on silk. The folding and translucent quality of the silk adds a random element that creates an infinite variety from each design.

    My images are created through experimentation with fractals or procedural tools. I tend to focus on very organic or natural shapes. New designs will be showing up frequently, so check back often as I grow my library of scarves.

    I work closely with my printer who maintains excellent standards and matches my colors precisely, even on chiffon. I use a very high quality Chinese silk. It feels wonderful, and drapes beautifully.

      Owner, Creator, Designer

      I have always been fascinated with tiling and symmetry as well as the mathematics of modeling organic forms in nature, pursuing these interests initially through traditional media, but have increasingly turned to digital and generative art.

    If for any reason you wish to return an item, contact me within 14 days after receipt of the goods. Then ship the item back to me to arrive within 30 days of receipt. Shipping it back need not be expensive because you do not have to include the gift box.

    Send it back to me, preferably with tracking. Send me the tracking number once you have sent it back. You will receive a refund for the full price of the item as soon as it makes its way back to me in original condition. I do not refund shipping costs, as those are out-of-pocket costs for me.

    Processing times:
    There are times when I may list 1-2 weeks because I am very busy but your item may actually take much less time to ship. If you really want something right away, convo me before ordering and ask if it is possible.

    Rush orders:
    Most of the time I can ship within 1-3 days. However, items marked "Made to Order" and Custom Orders cannot be rushed beyond about 8 weeks, and delivery on a certain date cannot be guaranteed. Convo me with questions about made to order items.
