Summer Breeze Scarf/Shawl

This luxurious, pure silk scarf/shawl has been hand-dyed in madder and eco-printed with leaves and flowers from the artist's garden. Including, maple, Virginia creeper, grapevine, cotinus, and peonies. Although it's called Summer Breeze, this shawl has all the reds and oranges of an Autumn day in Canada!

Each scarf is hand-made using only natural material and may slightly vary in colour, and pattern.

Marta Mouka works with woven silk, often contact-printed with plant material, to make finished textiles with a smooth texture and soft-focus colour transitions. She experiments with centuries-old techniques of dyeing with natural dyes and combines them with the more contemporary method of botanical monoprinting. 

Marta's creative process draws inspiration from books, Buddhist philosophy, and daily contact with Ontario’s rural landscape.
