A beautiful piece! I love the look of it so much!

I don’t wear it often as it’s not the slippery type of silk I want for prevention of hair breakage, but do keep in mind that its texture means that it holds better, less risk of it slipping off while wearing outside / being active.

The scarf is beautiful, and the happy colors have me dreaming of spring! This is my third order from Susan; I purchased two scarves for gifts and I wanted one for myself. Susan is great to work with. Placing a special order was easy, and delivery to the US was speedy.

A love of Colour and Pattern

Many years ago I received my degree in Textiles at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. Since then I've designed woven silk and beaded jewelry, worked in painted paper collage and am now absolutely loving returning to my textile roots by working with silk.

My inspiration and joy through all these mediums has always been playing with color, pattern and image. For the silk, I use a variety of techniques such as shibori, fold & clamp dye and direct dye, but my favorite technique is painting on the silk.

I may repeat a motif such as a leaf shape, but each scarf is painted freely with no stencils or printing media, so each is unique. The scarves are often dyed first in a soft shade and then painted. For other designs I paint directly on the creamy white scarf, sometimes using resist outlines and other times drawing and painting in free hand, creating a looser, almost watercolor look.

I'm always exploring new techniques and patterns and will be adding some block printing to my scarves this year so always check back to see what's new.

My other love is vintage fashion. I buy most of my own clothing second hand and I'm always seeing wonderful vintage finds along the way! Being a textile person I can't resist a wonderful fabric, vintage silk scarf or quality designer dress, but they're not always something I can use myself. A few years ago I changed my former vintage shop to my silk painting shop, but I decided that vintage fashion can also fit with my scarves, so I am now adding my vintage finds to my shop as well. You will find mostly dresses and silk scarves (of course) and perhaps the odd blouse, jacket or accessory. Please enjoy browsing!

Shipping

I ship by Canada Post. This will go by air internationally and in Canada. Most scarves can ship in a padded envelope and so are not expensive to ship by letter air mail. However this does not include tracking. There is however, a shipping upgrade available if you prefer to pay for tracking. When you checkout, there should be a down arrow by the 'standard shipping' box - click and you will see an amount for shipping with tracking.

Most of my scarves are already made, so I can ship out within 1-2 business days. However, a few styles are pictures of previously sold scarves whose colours and styles can be more or less repeated. (This is mentioned in the listing.) These can take up to 7 days to post.

Once I have posted an item, shipping times vary - anywhere on the east coast of Canada and the U.S. should take up to a week. Further west may take a week to 10 business days. Internationally can take up to two weeks or more.
