flirtatious new Scarf in the making
Preliminary sketches for a flirtatious new scarf I'm designing especially for the Met Opera's new production of Franz Lehar's Austro-Hungarian operetta The Merry Widow. I'm printing it on a 36" silk satin square and it's set during the Belle Epoque in Paris (You'll find me at Maxim's). You'll have to wait till October to wear this coquettish little scarf but you can purchase any one of my opera scarves in squares or oblongs either through me (email me for some pics and prices and I'll send them) or from the Metropolitan Opera shop on line.

A romantic new scarf in the making
I've been away all summer and blogless... A wonderful holiday in Italy and London and lots of exciting news... I'm working on a fun new book (an icy one) to be published in Spring... I made a little animation for my friend Elena Lappin's new Book Trailer Trash venture (I'll post it) and created some delicious new pop recipes with my nephew for the sought-after Ice Kitchen carts in London. I'm designing a scarf for the Metropolitan Opera's upcoming production of La Boheme and another scarf to be decided, for the Royal Opera house in London! Here's a thumb nail sketch which I hope to develop into a scarf, full of Paris romance - 1830's style - with the classic story intertwined. I'll let you know when its finished... Lily a constant inspiration and taste tester for the new book.
