My yellow plane in a blue sky design as a 100% silk twill scarf 23” square scarf. Medium weight silk with twill woven texture and perfect drape. Irons up to perfection easily on low. Fabric printed in the UK, drawings & hand stitched rolled hem done by myself, Sihaya Hopkins.
The inspiration for this one was a lovely moment when I was floating in the pool last summer. Looking up into a very periwinkle blue sky and a little yellow plane flew directly over. I love small planes. What you see out the window is so relatable. The hight your at is close enough to see details but with a large enough perspective to show everythings relationship to the rest of the world. I remember flying from my home on an island in Prince William Sound Alaska in my teens, to Anchorage via Jim Air. Taking off from our Bay we quickly flew across the sound and over the giant mountain range that encloses the top of Alaskas temperate rainforest. Down one side of the mountain ridge is wet, deep green and misty. Down the other side it’s dry tundra and then Boreal forest. Then flying up Turnagain Arm, a tidal waterway, long, narrow and showing at low tide a vast length of mud flats. The rivulet patterns looking exactly like the fine lines of the skin on the back of my hands.
