Eco printed scarf-vest

This eco printed silk scarf-vest, I call it multi-styled scarf was originally printed for curtain purpose ordered by a US client but she quoted wrongly the size so I keep it and repurposed it.

一大幅絲質布料灑上片片尤加利葉，百里香果葉及滿滿的自己栽種小黃菊，金黃色系主調的純天然植物印染布料，簡單剪裁成為一欵多穿搭簡約衣飾，可上下倒穿成背心，隨意被搭圍巾，簡單而慢活製作，送給喜愛我天然手工創作的朋友們當知我心意。

Formerly printed two yardages mainly with eucalyptus and passion fruit leaves..

It’s the layout for curtains.

Design mainly of eucalyptus, simply less is more.

When my client regretted for the size she quoted, I’m fine not to charge for the cancellation but I do not want to make another one. Indeed I do not enjoy custom orders as it’s quite a pressure to meet others' expectation. I just like to sell “what you see what you get “ or the techniques of printing. So I added more of own grown yellow daisy to make  the rich prints and modified to another function.

Just cut arm holes and round corners and sewed. Simply an easy scarf-vest made.

The fresh yellow tone with more alum mordant yellow flowers.

A vest upside-down or in & out, or wrap around scarf all in one piece.

The two pieces yardages made into two garments, each as gift for two good friends whom we known for ages since childhood.

Eco print and nuno felt shawl 植物印染披肩

 

"What's the setting?"

"Well, a workshop for two students to do eco print and nuno felt shawl."

周日午後的植物印染準備就緒, 雖然祗是二人的家中課堂, 我仍是一絲不苟的做好準備,  

一個下午各人悠閒地完成一件印染披肩及圍巾, 

  

Mogi, "can I have my footprints on it?" 

 

"Mum, have you got all ready yet?"

"Yes, Mum's painstaking, all well prepared, some leaves with iron mordant, some with alum and some from Argentina from my fb friend Delia.

 

Placed on the silk chiffon and boiled for .1.5 hours .

 

Unbundled, brown of liquidamber, orange euc, green rose leaves and tie lines....

 

Followed by nuno felt to make a shawl

 

Making this shawl is simple and easier.

 

Just a little wool and rubbing & rolling

 

After an hour, finished and here they're.........

 

Yes, only you can make it like this unique color, pattern.  Thanks A.T. for joining my workshops a few times.  You're my great supporter.

Handmade Christmas gift 手作聖誕禮物訂單

 A commission from a special client who wants a DIY and unique nuno felt shawl for a friend's Christmas gift. I created this one suitable for most occasions.  Jade green/blue on black chiffon is good for all purposes, all seasons, work or banquet...

It's handmade with merino and mulberry silk on pure silk chiffon.

 Here it goes......

 

 A shawl, a wrap, a scraf...... whatever you use it.  It goes well in all styles.    

 It's nicely packed in a box which I saved from other sources.

 Tag of business card with my eco leaf-printed card from used paper.

 Back of the paper written with description.

 Packed in the box with styles of the shawl and tag.

 Provided is also my eco leaf-printed gift card for the giver.

 Tied with brown ribbon, a gift is ready to go.

I thought it's pretty with my concept of handmade and upcycled materials of the box, the ribbon and the paper bag.

 Hope the giver and receiver find it nice.
A blessed Christmas for all my friends !
