    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.
    • My trunk show at the UMMA museum gift store was wonderful, and a chance to meet my customers in person!

    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.
