Viola Collection. Spring Violas Scarf

This flamboyant neckpiece is constructed from layers of frothy hand dyed silk chiffons which are stitched to create a beautiful "lettuce" edging and combined with softest merino wool to create rippling felted surface textures as the wool fibres are applied, manipulated and integrated into the surface of the neckpiece with a variety of experimental felting techniques.
I hand dye the merino wool fibres at the same time that the silks are coloured to provide a continuity of colour and the imagery formed by this process is embellished and clarified with lines of free machine embroidery.
The cost is £46
The scarves measure approximately 32 X 6 inches but can vary slightly due to the hand felting process.
