Featured Artist Display May/June

I'm the featured artist at Oasis Gallery in Harrisonburg, Virginia for the months of May and June.  I've shown lots of pieces of the display, here's your chance to get back and take a look at the whole thing.

There are art quilts on the wall, some framed and some unframed.

Hanging on the wall I also have colorful hand dyed scarves in a variety of styles, cut velvet, cut satin and lovely silk scarves in a rich variety of colors.

And lots and lots of glazed art glass!

I'm pleased with how it all came together!

Happy Colors, Happy Creating,

A Scarf in the Breeze

New scarves freshly dyed last week. There are my favorite three, that middle one with all the color grew on me. I wore it to church and hubby snapped a photo of me wearing it which you can see top right on the side bar.

These are more muted colors in a cut satin style, very rich and wintry looking. Gotta love that 10 inch fringe, sooo pretty! Devore Satin Scarves, 14x72, $49
A few more cut satin scarves in a rayon/silk blend. There are all roughly 14 x 72, perfect size and shape to be worn in a variety of ways! Devore Satin Scarves, 14x72, $49

These are some cut velvet styles, the middle one is a really rich combination of olive, chocolate and charcoal colors with a little of this and that color showing here and there. Cut velvet, 14x72, $45
Oh, look who popped in to say hi, this is Misde. She's my constant companion. Hard to go wrong with these cool colors in a variety of styles: $45 (Dog not for sale)

100% silk styles in some interesting color combinations. These are really soft and I love how the silk took the dyes. I went for softer colors this time around. 14 x72 inch Habotai silk scarves - $32 each
I love how the light olive one turned out and the rich charcoal with plumy overtones is kinda cool. Click on the photos for a closer look. 100% silk scarves $32 each:

Hand Dyed Scarves

Over the last few days I've been working on dying some scarves for the Christmas season. These are just so yummy!

Cut Velvet scarves, 82% Rayon, 18% Silk, Size: 14x72 inches plus fringe unless otherwise noted.
From the left: Crimson Swirl, Golden Bouquet, Lemon Lime Stripe and Color Blend Leaves. $45 each.
From left: Turquoise Blue leaves, Cerulean Blue Stripes, Jade Green Stripes (and Color Blend Leaves, same as above.) $45 each
These are kind of cool, the design is one color and the background is different. The left scarf is 10x49 and olive/cranberry - $37. The right scarf is a combination of olive and chocolate brown in 14x72 with fringes - $45.
These four scarves are 100% silk, soft and yum yum yummy! The small one is 7x52, $29 without fringe. The left is a color blend of fuchsia, purple, blue and cerulean blue. The next one is fuchsia, orange and purple. The last one is orange, yellow and lime green. The right three are all 14x72 for $45 each. This is my favorite size for a great scarf. I often wear these this time of year wrapped around my neck with both ends free in front, it's a great way to add a splash of color and warmth to any outfit this time of year.

In the old days I would dye up a bunch of these, make earrings to match and I sold LOTS of them for gifts. A great scarf with matching earrings is really a great gift! It is nice to have a great selection to choose from when I leave the house in the morning, these are so fun to wear!
