Announcement    International Customers: Please order your gifts EARLY! Although shipping time has improved, I'm occasionally seeing wait-times of up to a month while packages wait for a flight to the destination. International shipments usually arrive promptly but sometimes it still takes weeks longer than it used to. However things very rarely get lost. There is very little I can do to speed up a shipment that is taking longer than usual, so I must ask customers for a lot more patience than usual.

US Customers: Postal service has been pretty good recently but this holiday season is certain to be very busy, so please order your gifts EARLY also!

My 3D-Fractal and Procedural-designed scarves are made from the finest fabrics like silk satin and silk chiffon. My scarves and accessories make unusual and thoughtful gifts. Seen up close, they are filled with amazing detail and are very beautiful. All items arrive elegantly gift-boxed.

    Video summary: Some of the new designs I'm working on.

    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.

      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.

    Please do not ask us to change the value on the customs form to avoid the fees. Simply put, we will not do this.

    Payment of these charges and taxes are your responsibility and will not be covered by us. We are not responsible for delays caused by the customs department in your country. For further details of charges, please contact your local customs office. There are many customs and duty calculators online that will give you an estimate of the fees but they may not be completely accurate.

    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.
    Additional policies and FAQs
    Custom Orders: I do some custom scarves. I cannot print your designs or third-party designs because of copyright issues.
