Fresh, dried, whole, nibbled, wind damaged, broken, incomplete leaves are placed on a stretch of silk. Rolled, bound tightly before heating to extract and coax the pigments and tannins from the foliage permanently on to the silk. Each scarf a wearable artwork made with nature. Leaves of each season reflecting and forever held in each scarf.
