New for 2008: The GOOSEYE COLLECTION, named for the beautiful pattern that resembles the eyes of geese! Alternating Goose Eyes with Twill Zig and Zags, these bold and lovely scarves are drapey, warm, cozy and extra long to wrap around the neck twice if desired. The color patterns evoke images from the heart of the weaver. Each scarf is a one of two (related to each other); these two will never be duplicated!
Each Joie-de-Vivre Handwoven Originals scarf is a unique, warm, cozy, creation, inspired by the weaver’s intense love of working with the wonderful possibilities that exist in the world of color. The carefully chosen colors celebrate life! These scarves are woven two to a warp. This means that there exists only one other scarf related to each one you see. Designs are never repeated! Each scarf holds the energy of the love and patience with which it was woven!
"The Autumn Collection " features high-fired Salt-Glazed Danish Porcelain glazed in several beautiful glazes : Japanese Oribe, Wood-Ash, and Yanagahara, primarily. The pieces pictured here are representative---not all is shown! Prices, where indicated are retail. Wholesale inquiries are welcome.
The "Spring Collection" was inspired by the Spring Flowers of Maine: the Violets, the Irises, the Lilacs and the Lupines. Finely thrown Danish Porcelain Clay is hand painted with overlapping patterns of greens, purples and rust to evoke the beauty of the floral world. This pottery is then high fired for a durable finish.
Acadia National Park's wonderful 50+ mile Carriage-road system includes sixteen stone brides built between 1917 and 1933 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., all intentionally rustic and each unique. The stone was quarried near each bridge. It took one man an entire day to shape just one stone. Visiting (and photographing) them all, as I have is an enchanting experience.
