DESIGNER'S NOTES: I was puzzling over the name for a new line of one-of-a-kind commissioned scarves, to be used for personal ritual or to mark significant events in the scarf-wearer’s life.

Sassy and beautiful and wild!
Suddenly arrived an unexpected envelope with a check and a note: "Be very creative! I trust you’ll know...a priestess scarf to do ritual/ceremony/perform weddings, etc....and yet I could wear it out with the girls and look sassy and beautiful and wild! Life is amazing!"


The first image that came was a long white scarf with purples, golds...delicate, floating...sky images, feathers...later she told me she had seen white, blue, gold, and was partial to eagles. And that the scarf would also end up being part of her own upcoming wedding ceremony.


So were Synchronicity scarves born.


...a delicate red scarf was floating past me...
As I work on these scarves – which may be used for ritual altars or as prayer shawls (similar to tallits) or simply worn as scarves to embellish one’s own sacred beauty – I am reminded that, 13 years ago, I picked up a key chain and channeled for the owner, who was elsewhere in the room, a person I had not yet met. Suddenly I was standing on top of a mountain and a delicate red scarf was floating past me on the air currents. My sense was that the key chain owner challenged him/herself in order to overcome fear. Later, the key chain owner came forth and told me he had climbed all the famous mountains on the planet, to overcome his fear of heights, and that he had only just been given the key chain, by his lover, a woman who was very partial to long, floating scarves.

Symbols of Fearlessness
Working sometimes in my New Mexico mountain studio, sometimes in my wee house in Scotland, I create these scarves for men and women, as beautiful and powerful symbols of fearlessness, reminding us to trust the synchronistic connections between us all. I work with your energy, selecting and applying charms, beads and runes (or you may send me specific objects you want me to incorporate), and each scarf comes in its own protective fabric drawstring bag.

Some of the scarfs and vestments incorporate collage work by artist ShaRi Brooks. You may visit her at http://zmyztickleonion.blogspot.com/ or http://lightdances.blogspot.com/ or at her own page at Green Phoenix Production's website.

Prices range from $150 - $300, depending on size and work involved. Or, if you are ordering within the UK, prices range from £75 - £150. (Payments by check, money order or Paypal.)

EACH SCARF IS UNIQUE, YOUR ONE-OF-A-KIND PERSONAL CREATION. (Delivery time: 4-6 weeks)

DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO!
