Change is Good…

Being a lover of warm weather the end of summer always feels a bit bittersweet. On one hand the lazy, sun-drenched days of beach visits and barbecues are past, but on the other hand, the crisp air and glorious colors of Autumn do offer a welcome consolation prize. Change is good.

I find that the change in season gives me new subject matter to photograph and new ideas for product design. The photo above was taken on a visit to Narrowsburg, NY. Walking along a country road one morning I was struck by the beauty of the surrounding woods. Using a slow shutter speed I was able to capture the colors of the the changing leaves and the striking vertical lines of the tree trunks in this impressionistic image.

I designed this sheer scarf (above) from this impressionistic fine art photograph.

A chic addition to any Autumn outfit! Wear this luxuriously soft scarf around your neck, as a wrap, or tie it around your waist as a beautiful sarong. Dimensions: 50 in x 50 in. You can find this scarf on my Etsy shop here.
