Silk Scarf with white bird print.
This scarf is meaningful to me as its inspired by a Brazilian folk song called White Bird, which my father used to listen too when I was deals little, it stayed with me and makes me feel close to home every time I listen to it. It tells the story of a guy leaving his beloved land and sweet girl because of the drought. In hope for better times he promised he would return.
"Even the white bird, flapped his wings away from this dry land. Without water I lost my cattle, of thirst my horse died. When the green of your eyes spread through the land I promise you dear Rose I will return my sweetheart"
I begin the design process for my scarves by painting the individual motives by hand in watercolour, and then scanning these into Illustrator software to replicate across the whole design and add simpler elements such as lines and background colours. The design is then digitally printed on to luxurious silk (100% silk), and the hem is hand rolled and stitched.
The scarf is a fairly generous sized square neck scarf, measuring 35" x 35" (about 90cm x 90cm). While I make sure that there are no creases before I carefully fold for shipping, some may develop in transit, but these can be ironed out on a warm setting with no steam, or will smooth out with time and use in any case.
All orders are sent in a presentation box as shown in the photos, perfect for a gift or a treat for yourself!
