Scarves with Prints

One of the rules I made for November's Ring Your Neck Challenge is that sewing is optional.

Another rule is that you must try something new.

So if you aren't going to sew, let me suggest trying some fun dying and printing techniques:

This fine wool scarf was dip-dyed
in indigo--a lovely effect.

I found these dip-dyed scarves
on the Martha Stewart website.

These striped shawls by Virginia Johnson
are bright and fun.

Designer, Maria Alexandra Vettese has printed photographs
of the the sky on silk scarves.  Breathtaking!

quoted from their website:

"about upstate: 

kalen and astrid design garments utilizing their 

own take on shibori* and dip dyeing. 

each item is hand dyed and one of a kind."
