Serengeti Sunset Silk Waves

Silk waves like you’ve never seen before!

This gorgeous gradation reminds me of a sunset over a beautiful African landscape. The colors are rich and vibrant. The silk makes them shimmer. The gorgeous deep orange fades into soft orange, then magenta and finally a deep red-violet.

Some action shots…

On the orange side, there is some beautiful contrast between the silk and the cotton. The silk is a brilliant yellow, with the cotton being orange. There is no discernable contrast on the magenta side.

Pretty Birds – The Pfauen Like You’ve Never Seen Before

I finally got around to dyeing my own pfau! I’ve had this idea bouncing in my head for quite a while and finally got the chance to implement it this weekend. It’s a little out of my comfort zone in terms of colors I normally wear, but I wanted something different in my stash.

I love the comfort of pfau in a ruck tied under the bum. It’s thin and easy to wrap with but still very comfortable on the shoulders and remains in place with even a single knot. I love how the two different colors look in the tail under the bum.. purple and green!

Makes me feel oh so pretty!

And also quite comfy in a reinforced-rear-rebozo ruck, with a slip knot.

And my favorite carry lately, rebozo.

Look how neat that looks in a slipknot.

Looks like a regular old boring solid dye job from the back.

I know the toddler likes it, and that’s all that really matters!
