Scarves with Abstract PatternsAlthough all these patterns have no recognizable images, their source of inspiration is frequently nature. The lines that can been seen gazing across a field of grain have their own special rhythm. But each field has not a flat landscape and has it own dips and bumps. This breaks up the patterns and creates interesting glitches that can be imitated or flow into other patterns. The manner in which I use colors is not always related to the original inspiration. My goal is always to make each one unique and different. Scarves with Japanese Shibori Arashi StripesArashi is the Japanese term for stripes. But there is nothing simple about these stripped scarves. Frequently they are multi-tonal layers of pattern. In the rich heritage Japanese tradition, the goal was to create stripes perfectly evenly spaced and of an identical width. My goal is very different. I strive to create stripes that move across the fabric and create dynamic movement and interesting overlays of color. These are definitely not your mother's pin-stripped shirt!Scarves patterns that resemble Butterfly wingsFrequently butterflies visit the garden area around my home. I watch them change and molt through their various stages until they finally immerge from the chrysalis into a beautiful creation. I am always intrigued by the variety of patterns and unexpected color combinations. These scarf patterns' re-create the wonderful marking on these wonderful exciting creatures. Flower ScarvesIn the early springtime here in Texas, the landscape is awash with wildflowers of all shapes and dimensions. Using my watercolor paints I capture their beauty. All of these patterned scarves are done using the wax resist technique of Batik, which gives me more control and allows for a finer degree of detail. A variety of flower types from chrysanthemums to trumpet lilies are depicted. Stained Glass ScarvesOne of my favorite things about stained glass windows is how each color seems so luminous. Looking at them in a church, the image are overwhelming in their brightness. Inspired, I've created a whole series of scarves where each color is vibrant with that same intensity. Waterfall ScarvesIn Japan waterfalls abound. In their art, Japanese frequently portray Waterfalls that capture the essence of movement. Using wax as a resist, this series mirror's the continuous flow of water traveling over rocks. The dynamic movement created flows down the scarf in intriguing overlays of color. |
