Autumn Light hand-painted silk scarf by Beth Surdut

I promise you this: the temperatures will drop, your brain will once again be quickened by the intake of sweet autumn air, and you can wrap yourself in beauty. Think of each hand-painted original silk scarf as a precious piece of fine wearable art--your statement piece or sapphires, topaz,emerald, silver and gold, as sparkling as a finely wrought necklace.
Here's to name-dropping! My painted accessories and garments have been shown at the Smithsonian Institution, De Cordova Museum, Cahoon Museum of American Art, American Textile History Museum, and the fabulous New Zealand Wearable Art Awards.
So go ahead, spurge on the most beautiful scarf you'll ever own and be prepared for strangers to  walk up to you and ask with a  gasp and a sigh, "Where did you get that?"
You'll be able to tell them that you purchased it directly from the artist @http://www.bethsurdut.com/apparel-women---men.html
On sale for $200 apiece.

Healing Scarf For Gabrielle Giffords

 The Hebrew prayer Misheberach asks for “complete healing” –r’fuah shleimah in Hebrew-- of body and spirit. As I began painting, saddened by the death of songwriter Debbie Friedman and the Tucson shootings,   I heard the melody of Debbie’s Misheberach and realized the scarf was destined for Congresswoman Giffords.

So, here it is—The Heavens scarf, inscribed with r’fuah shleimah and inspired by the power greater than us, who created the star-filled universe and gives us the strength of spirit to heal.
