Shawl / Poncho- natural dye- silk -cotinus
This raw silk shawl / poncho, is made to be worn by any sexual orientation. There is one size which is aprox 50 x 58 inches. It was dyed with natural colors from cotinus leaves and mineral dyes using shibori methods to create the pattern. There is a magnetic clasp at the neck line to lightly secure. I have custom handcrafted each charm with semi precious stones and beads. They are all unique and it is a surprise in which one you will get. This silk is light weight yet stiff. There are irregularities in the weave with give slubs like dupioni silk.
The edges are hand rolled and machine stitched. There is a seam at shoulders. I recommend hand washing and air dry for longest life and color fastness. Yes, you can also use an iron. This piece is one of a kind and was made during the small window of harvest from the cotinus or smoke tree.
It is my pleasure to make adornments for your body!
