silk scarf mandalas

June, July, August -

the garden chronicle of the 2022 season,

a short story of bloomings, drought, heat and resiliance.

- garden in a silk scarf project -

All scarfs are unique, like each plant is unique - I tried to copy the layout of some scarfs but it never came out even similar. Each plant has its own pigments, shape and feel so I approached each scarf with just bare joy, regard, curiosity and... surrender. Happy dyeing!
