Summer Breeze #2 Scarf/Shawl

Luxurious, soft, pure silk scarf/shawl dyed in Madder and eco-printed with Catalpa, Grapevine, Virginia creeper, Madder, and Campion.

The brick red-rust background complements the mint green and orange colour prints made by leaves gathered in the artist's garden.

Each scarf is hand-made using only natural materials and may vary slightly in colour, leaf selection, 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.
