My grandma taught me that a lady should always use a scarf to compliment her outfit and to show that she is stylish. Although in the past I haven't always followed her advice I still remember it and nowadays I find myself wearing a scarf more often than not. So you can imagine how excited I am today to be able to share with you the work of a mystical woman who not only knows textiles but is passionately in love with them. Please meet Beth McCormack of Miri Textiles.
"Packages arrive at my home several times a week in mysterious cloth wrappers with exotic writing and stamps that should be framed. Inside are these beautiful fabrics. The boy looks on worriedly while I rip them into shapes. I sit in my studio (living room couch and coffee table) and hem them on my precious serger. It's soooooo peaceful and zen-like. When I'm done, I show them to the boy for his critique."
That is how life goes in Beth McCormack's home. She is seriously obsessed with textiles. The mere contact with them opens up a whole new path back to the weaver, artist, community, and culture they came from.
Beth is truly a sustainable crafter. She creates scarves from vintage repurposed silk saris that carry the memories and wisdom of Indian women. And today she has one for you - a luxurious $30 scarf! You know what I love about it? It's orange! It's beaded! It's bohemian!
Isn't that the perfect color for autumn!

I love scarves! I wear them almost everywhere, due to my hair being in the weird growing out stage as well as them being a part of my culture, my dad is a Muslim, although I am not. The orange colour is beautiful beyond comparison!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite item is the Magenta Silk Chiffon Scarf!
ReplyDeleteThese are magnificent! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe recycled orange silk scarf is fantastic - I know it says "summer" but I think it would be a great layer in the winter, too (especially to soften up the neckline of my itchy wool coat!)
