I am obsessed. What was going to be just a fun group art activity Thanksgiving weekend has become MY MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION. My friends, I have taught myself to dye fabric and I will never be the same. No mere hyperbolic statement, that: my hands are permanently dyed dark pink.When people notice and raise an eyebrow I murmur sheepishly, "I guess you caught me red handed...."

Welcome to my casbah... |
SO. I have been hand dyeing silk velvet burnout scarves and have about 10 ready for the next market. To me, they are instant color therapy. Upcoming long grey winter days require some sort of response and color is the best way to fight any sort of blah or sadness. Every time one of these scarves gets into my line of sight, I feel this happy little rush of joy! They are just so pretty. I am draping them all over the house - especially near windows so the light shines through the colors.
I am giving a hand dyed silk scarf to one lucky reader! To enter, leave a comment on this post anytime
