a beautiful birthday gift...

my mother gave me the most beautiful
scarf for my birthday...


"these one of a kind accessories are individually crafted in Chicago where Gina currently lives. There, the silk is hand dyed then puckered and gathered when merged with merino wool. Traditionally these pieces are used as scarves, shawls and wraps, but their function is only limited to that of imagination. "







here are pictures of my scarf i took with my
canon 60D...

still learning how to use it and loving every minute!



 i absolutely adore the texture and colors...





about gina's philosophy...

"T
here is a parallel between the process and the meditation found in creating any textile, to that which is found in Mother Nature's rhythms and undulating patterns. The perfect harmony of color, its hues, brightness, lightness and contrasts saturate the world around us. "This work is the tactile evidence I have for the countless observations of Her delicate balance between the simple and complex, my interpretation of our greatest and most delicate resource." 

i am most impressed with with this new designer
who launched her line in august of 2004...

i am also continually impressed with my mother 
who has always, even as a teen, been able to understand
my whismacal nature and style.

thank you mom for this beautiful
birthday gift...

I think you may want to place a twitter icon to your site. Just marked down the url, however I had to do this by hand. Just my 2 cents.
