Handmade Balinese Batik Scarf-Beaujolais
|
<< Prev page |
We recently met a delightful jewelry designer who has a thing for Bali. She's been working there for the past 16 years and loves the warm, caring people and their wonderful creativity. Wanting to help the Balinese women who must support themselves and their children, she was inspired to meld Bali's rich design elements from their ancient culture with present-day artistic designs.
She encouraged the younger women to talk with their oldest relatives and friends to obtain the oldest design elements they could remember. These 100% silk batik scarves are the result, inspired by ancient designs from the region that symbolize ''calm and joy.''
I love the benefits gleaned from this project -- the increased self-esteem of the women artisans making them, the children whose lives are better because of their mothers' income, and the knowledge that these ancient designs live on and continue to be shared. Lastly,we benefit by wearing the scarves because they're light as a feather, and you can wear them year-round.
Because they're ultra comfy and can be hand washed and air dried on a towel, they're great for travel. They're completely reversible and stunning when worn together. A lovely gift for women of all ages. Because they are handmade, the scarves will vary some in size, color, and design.
