COLOUR is always the beginning

As you may have guessed by now its the colour of things which inspires me to create..and from there the imagination just expands.
Recycled sari ribbon is not new to a lot of people but I recently just fell in love with it.....the variations, the depth, the sheer scope of luscious colours. Silk is a natural fibre, and as such is really cosy, soft and warm . In winter it is a delight to wear and isnt tickly.
Now surrounded by bags of all hues of this material Im like a pig in mud. :)

I started with this peacock mix ...........

 


 and it turned into this...........





A silk cowl with the addition of tassels, beads and a handcrafted button.
Heres a closeup............



Wow!! now thats colour.
The tassels are handmade too, and are glossy cotton.
I will be adding this item, and others to my website very soon.
In the meantime just maybe lose yourself in the richness and luxuriant pics

Enjoy
