” Rose Leaf Eco-print Scarf – #1 ” (2013)

11 inches by 60 inches

This scarf creates the unique experience of wearing an item embellished directly by nature.

100% silk scarf eco-printed with the natural dyes released from rose leaves; colors are then enhanced with a final post mordant dip.

The rose leaves are sourced from a rose bush that grows in our front garden. This process allows for a beautiful image to be imprinted on the silk. The resulting leaf print has an almost a fossil-like look. This scarf has been created using a vertical fold allowing for a mirror-image effect through the length of the scarf.

This item is currently available for purchase within Canada. Please email studioh@shaw.ca for more information.
