The underlying image is a photograph that I took of three boulders marking the geographic center of Europe. The location is along a stream, just outside of Lithuania's capitol city of Vilnius. Europe is the origin of most of Western culture and civilization. Lithuania happens to be the country of origin of my own ancestral roots.
Modeled by Lutece Beavers during my Silk NeuroArt exhibit and fashion show at the Ciurlionis Gallery, the Lithuanian Center, Chicago, Illinois, this past May. This this took place on Mother's Day.

These scarves should only be dry cleaned.
These are large-scale, 100% pure silk scarves, 140 x 140 cm (55 x 55 in). Given their size, they are more properly called wraps (skraistės in Lithuanian). Most designer scarves, at their largest, are only 90 x 90 cm (35 x 35 in). These are two and a half times that size.
The mulberry silk used is of the highest quality with twill weaving. The printing techniques are state of the art. All materials used in the production process are environmentally friendly, non-toxic with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification. STANDARD 100 is the strictest environmental certification in the world. The company that does my printing has 14 years of experience with silk. These scarves are heavy, durable and warm.
