Last year, when Alice in Wonderland came out, I made a Mad Hatter scarf that was purchased by a friend in Missouri. Recently, I was asked to make another one by someone who is preparing a Red Glove Review costume for the Mad Hatter. The center scarf was sent to her. But I love this design and made a couple more at the same time using a soy wax batik technique. Black is a difficult color for silk dye, if you use the common Procion dyes rather than a custom silk dye (which I didn't have in black). You get a dark purple range of colors, and the bright yellow hardly takes overdye. But it gives a bright and varied colorway. These scarves are available in time for Valentine's Day, $18 each including shipping if you email ktibbits at lrec.org .
