Joan Edelstein's scarves are made with bits of fabrics and fibers, both natural and synthetic (but NO WOOL). Watercolored silk borders frame the piece, then the pieces are assembled on her worktable, along with ribbons, metallic trims, vintage and unusual pieces, to be sewn in place with a very strong twisted thread. Pull on them, they will not break, but you still have a feminine and delicate scarf to accent your outfit elegantly! Nice for a light touch, truly a piece of art to drape around your neck, head, or jacket.
Made in Joan's Arts & Passions Studio in Texas.

CARE OF JOAN EDELSTEIN SCARF
Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild soap. Roll wet scarf into a towel to get the water out. Press damp scarf with iron on “silk” setting. Press straight down trying to avoid ironing side-to-side. Avoid pressing directly on sequins and metallic glitter.
The threads holding the pieces together are strong! But dangling earrings can get caught and cats can play too rough!
