A delivery of Crepe de Chine silk scarves by Glowing Edges Designs |
10 years after the idea of turning my Glowing Edges Designs into silk scarves was suggested to me - at the Doncaster Art Market on a day that coincided with a non stop downpour of rain - my first order for 24 Crepe de Chine silk scarves, with hand rolled hems, finally arrived.

A length of Chiffon silk |
The
4 metre length of Chiffon silk that had been previously printed with
12 of my Glowing Edges Designs had proved extremely popular, with
many requests to buy them, but the quality of the machine hemmed
finish – produced locally by a general manufacturer - rendered them only suitable for
samples.

Rectangles and Squares |
Although
the range of colours in my Glowing Edges Designs were generally well
reproduced – both for the natural colours and textures and for the
abstract geometrical designs – and the relatively small sizes made
them ideal for neckerchiefs and head scarves, I realised that it
would need a further investment to turn this good idea into a first
class product.
