SILK CHIFFON SCARF TITLE:“Superb Fairywren”
DIMENSIONS: 180cmx65cm (71 inchesx25.5 inches).
PHOTOGRAPHY: November 2017 at Anglesea, Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia,
STORY: “This Scarf is created by combining our many images of the tiny Superb Fairywren, an elusive native Australian Bird. I feel that we captured it’s light energy and swift flying movements. Unrelated to the true Wren and common in the undergrowth of Eastern Australia the male is mostly blue with black bands (earning the name Blue Wren). The blue turns iridescent during breeding time.

HAND WASHING: Preferred: Use lukewarm water and a mild non-alkaline soap such as baby shampoo. Avoid soaking and rinse with a few tablespoons of distilled white vinegar added to the clear water. Avoid wringing or twisting and roll in a towel then hang to dry. Avoid using dryers.
IRONING: Most wrinkles can be removed by hanging the scarf in the shower and letting humidity work. While the scarf is hanging a steam iron can be used carefully avoiding wetting locally. If necessary use a cool iron setting (Silk Setting) on the back of the damp scarf – avoid too much heat.
