DeeBozzz Painted Silk Scarves

Navy Daisy

2010-02-24T00:53:00.004-05:00

I had offered this as a silk oblong scarf in my collection last year. Recently, a customer ordered it as an 18"x72" shawl. After painting it in this larger size, I am thinking this stunning accessory desrves to stay. It will also be available in the size of 9"x54".

2010-02-22T15:50:00.002-05:00

Just sent out 3 Silk Shawls to The Art Institute of Chicago. This is a great example of Scarves being a great transitional accessory.

AIC viewed my Spring 2010 line, and decided that maybe a few of them could be considered for this Fall. These are the shawls that they had requested. Wish me luck!

Getting Tropical

2010-02-22T11:32:00.005-05:00

Ooooooo.... We are expecting a snowstorm this afternoon. After painting these two scarves last night, I started feeling very tropical. Sigh --- I am envisioning myself on a cruise vacation just about now...

Citron Tropix

Sage Tropix

They are shown here in the size 8"x54". They are also available in the size of 18"x72"

Scarves Tied in Spring 2010 RTW

2010-02-20T08:25:00.003-05:00

Well I was going to title this post "Scarves are Back!". Looks like they never left. Silk, gauzy and flowy scarves were a staple last year. This season, designers decided to maintain this versatile trend.

Flower Power

2010-02-19T07:08:00.003-05:00

22"x72" painted Silk Wrap. Also available in 8"x54".

Featuring the colours black, coral and yellow. Beautiful with your little black dress.
Featuring the colours peacock blue and fucshia. Beautiful with your little black dress.

So Square

2010-02-18T20:37:00.004-05:00

This geometric square design is hand painted on a silk jacquard. I love the way the woven pattern gives my painted design an added punch. The colours available are lime and rust.

So Transparent

2010-02-16T20:51:00.003-05:00

These are my new silk chiffon shawls. Unlike my other silk scarves and wraps, I have added metallic paint to these particular patterns. The sparkle from the paint adds a bit of "pop" to the softness of these accessories. These Spring items, are available in the sizes of "22x72" wrap, and 8"x54" neckerchief.

17"x72" Silk Crepe Shawls

2010-02-05T17:56:00.005-05:00

I know - Spring is usually about soft hues. But I love to turn heads wearing bright contrasting colours. This style has shades of black, turquoise and rhododendron.

Or how about stealing attention this summer in warm stripe hues? Wear this crepe shawl shown in the warm colours of gold and mahogany.

Save these accessories for Spring

2010-02-02T09:31:00.005-05:00

I Came across this article by Lindsey Michelle
the Shoes & Accessories Feature Writer for Suite101.

Lindsey comments about scarves for Spring 2010 "The amount of women wearing scarves during summer 2009 proved that it’s an easy trend to follow. So while gauzy, lightweight scarves may be put on hold until the weather warms up, they’re definitely worth saving for next spring.

The versatility of scarves is also appealing. If not worn around the next, they can also be used as a belt in a pair of jeans or tied around hair, as a headband or ponytail holder."

Check out her online article to find out which other accessories will be key for this upcoming Spring.

Warm and Cool Charmeuse

2010-01-31T21:15:00.003-05:00

Silk Charmeuse feels simply luxurious. I have painted them in the sizes of 8"x54", however these are also available in 15"x72".

I have chosen the warm colours of yellow, gold and coral. The other has been painted in shades of blues and rose.

These pieces have bright contrasting colours that will allow you to stand out in the summer, and add some pop to your wardrobe in the fall. Definitely versatile pieces.

Prepping for 2010

2010-01-23T16:39:00.003-05:00

This weekend I officially began to organize for 2010. I checked out the "hot" colours for Spring 2010 -- turquoise is flaming hot. I made a list of dyes to buy at G&S Dyes and bought them today.

I grouped my dyes, metallic paint and paint brushes. There is much more to do, but I am glad I got started.

Long Scarves HOT for 2009 - 2010

2009-11-10T22:05:00.006-05:00

Long scarves are back with a vengence Fall / Winter 2009 - 2010.

Tie a fashion scarf, and you can draw instant attention yourself. Want to update your outfit? Just add a scarf around the neck, a shawl folded thinly and worn around the waist, or a wrap around the shoulders.

Tina A Jane states "Scarves no longer serve as items protecting us from cold or wind, they have become versatile and fashionable accessories"

A great way to take advantage of this stylish trend, is with my Ebony Leaf Silk Shawl. Wear it over one shoulder, work it through your belt loops of your pants tie it, and let it hang off the side. For a more subtle effect, it is available in a neckerchief size.

A Little R n R in Ottawa

2009-08-15T14:28:00.011-04:00

My Hubby had some business to do in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada this weekend. I have ALWAYS wanted to visit there, so I took the opportunity and decided I would tag along for the ride.

I am having a really great time. What a beautiful city. So historical too. This weekend has just been alot of walking around and doing some quick sightseeing. I would like to most definitely come back next summer and participate in actual tours of the city.

Lots of pictures of The Changing of the Guard, The Rideau Canal, Parliament of Canada and of course my girl Laura Secord!

This trip has helped me to regroup and come up with some ideas for DeeBozzz / Dee Boswell Designs silk scarves and shawls.

Fall Fashion Silk Scarf - Magenta Line

2009-08-15T01:27:00.003-04:00

Magenta Line Silk Jacquard Scarf / Shawl by DeeBozzz Silk Scarves and Access

This fashion silk scarf is painted for my Fall 2009 collection, however you can definitely wear it now. I love accessories that are transitional. This jacquard scarf, comes in two sizes: 12"x60" oblong and an 18"x72" shawl.

Above I have created a visualization as to how you can rock this scarf. We have dark denim, purple shoes, and added a punch of yellow that merge summer into Fall.

Scarves and Shawls are the perfect way to achieve milage from your wardrobe.

Here is an idea, as to how you can wear this lovely silk wrap.

Back to "Life"

2009-05-29T17:23:00.008-04:00

Wow. I have just looked at the date of my last post. November 2008?

To tell you the truth, I was seriously looking at retiring from the hand painting of silk scarves business. This past December, my husband and I discovered I was pregnant....with TWINS! A few months later we found out that we were expecting a boy and a girl to be born in July. Timothy and Addison.

All interest was focused on our two children. We moved from our hip downtown apartment to a cozy home in the suburbs. It's a great neighbourhood. By many parks and trails, and oh yeah.... The Zoo! We were so excited.

On April 6, I went into preterm labour. Our children were born at five 1/2 months. They were too small to survive.

My husband and I were devastated.

Weeks later he went back to work. I just could not function. I was spaced out, depressed, my hair even fell out. My husband shaved it down completely. Actually, my features could carry it off. My new look looked great, but for me it was another blatant reminder of what had occurred.

I started going to counselling. A Self Help Group. I just needed to do something different. April 6Th was rock bottom, but there were many days, when I felt like I was going to hit it again. I have only been to two sessions. The sessions are bi-weekly. It is in a group session, with other parents who have suffered a perinatal loss.

The sessions are put on by Perinatal Bereavement Services Ontario(P.B.S.O). Their focus is on families who had suffered a pregnancy loss due to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death.

Also, I have taken up gardening. I absolutely love it. I think it is about the fact that it puts you into nurturing mode. Caring for something so young and green, and watching it bloom before your eyes. In the backyard, I have four flower beds. One is dedicated to Timmy and Addi. Their room was to be decorated in blue, and green,so I found perennials in those colours. I bought the Green Envy Echinaceae(for Addi) and the Blue Clips Bellflower (for Timmy). They bloom well into the fall so we could always have them with us.

I have also decided to start painting again. Art is beautiful, and silk hand painting is a beautiful distraction. Timothy and Addison would have had a creative Mommy. I am still their Mommy, and how my husband and I live, well... we would want them to embrace it. We miss them terribly, but the loss cannot define us in a negative way.

So there you go. I am back to painting. Slowly, but surely. This particular blog was therapeutic. I would like to maintain the "adventures of DeeBozzz Designer Silks". I hope you don't mind though...On occasion, I may take my two children along for the ride.

Feel like you never have a thing to wear? Fashion expert Lloyd Boston shares the basic items every woman should have in her closet. Click on the model above, and watch as Lloyd shows Oprah how to tie the "Hacking Knot".

A scarf can work as a bright accessory to many outfits.; From The Oprah Winfrey Show "Shlumpadinka Makeovers"

Do you have a closet full of clothes and still feel like you have nothing to wear? With the right basics, stylist Lloyd Boston says you can pull any outfit together in a snap. "If you have these things, you can look as great as me living in your closet," he says. Bright, gauzy scarves are an inexpensive way to add a shot of color around your face. "I love a little scarf," Oprah says. "Very chic-o-la." When adding this extra flair, Lloyd says it's important to balance your other accessories. If you have extra fabric going to one side, wear bracelets on your opposite arm. "Change it up," he says.

Watch as Oprah learns a simple way to wear a scarf around the neck! Wear my Violet Blues Silk Cover-up for this look!

A Little Reinvetion....

2008-07-28T22:54:00.008-04:00

So I have many scarves (yes... really), and I have always wondered... what else can I do with them? I was at the Chapters Bookstore, in Brampton, On. I came across this wonderful book: 99 Way To Cut Your Scarf.

Can I say FABULOUS??!! I got a creative burst of energy, and made this halter top out of my hand painted Rouge silk charmeuse shawl. It fits sizes small to medium. I will have it on my sites, within the next few days.

This book was written by Authors: Faith Blakeney, Justina Blakeney and Ellen Schultz.

Booty Camp Fitness - Tomorrow's My Last Day!

2008-05-28T20:54:00.004-04:00

Well tomorrow is my last class with Booty Camp Fitness. I am really glad that I took the 4 week class.

Personally, I have noticed a change in my body. I used to work out alot, and it is nice to see that my athletic shape coming back again. I love lifting weights. When I go to the gym, though I have a tendency to focus more on weights than cardio. (I hate cardio by the way). With Booty Camp Fitness, yes... it is ALOT of cardio, however, they incorporate alot of strength training within their routines. Stepping up and down on the bench in the park?? Aughhhhhh.... but wow! My legs look great! Remember running back and forth and touching the lines on the floor during gym class? Well try doing that and then adding some push-ups to the routine? Yuck... But seriously, my arms are really toned now!

They take your measurements on day 1. Tomorrow is the last class, and I will have my measurements taken again. Stay tuned.... I will let you know how I made out.

By the way, my trainer is Patsy (top row, middle).

Wow! My silk scarves are being featured on GiftStumped.com!

Ok..ok... I surfed the web, came across their site, and "suggested" that they visit my site.
And --- "they liked me... they really liked me!"

Well my wearable works of art that is.
Here is a quote from GiftStumped:

Honestly, my first thought was “do I want to review scarves?” Interesting enough? Unique enough?
But, after taking a look, I:

1. Saw how beautiful the scarves are
2. Realized how unique they really are
3. Thought that they would make lovely gifts for women & women who are art lovers
4. Noticed that Dee can make custom pieces for you
5. Decided that I was late in getting a Mother’s Day gift idea post out (although we do have a nice list of Mother’s Day Gift Ideas on the site)

......If you do purchase something from Dee for this Mother’s Day, you will also have a nice story to tell Mom about how you found a cute site called GiftStumped and found unique, hand-painted scarves created by an artist in Toronto. She just doesn’t need to know you almost waited until the last minute!

I would like to thank GiftStumped, for this great opportunity!

Fall Colours 2008

2008-04-20T01:13:00.005-04:00

Well the good news is that Summer is just around the corner.... The bad news is that I am half way through completing my Fall 2008 collection!

Pantone Inc has released the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Fall 2008 featuring the top 10 women's fashion colors that we are likely to be wearing later this year.

According to the report, the fall '08 palette is best described as a season of change and is defined by rich, elegant hues that offer a vibrant selection. New York's fashion designers emphasize cooler blues, greens and purples in the top five tones used in their collections, followed by variations of warm red, orange and yellow.

Pantone is the most widely recognized color standard in the world, and is used as a tool for the fashion industry. Every year at New York Fashion Week it surveys designers and collects feedback on the most prominent color collections.

So far I have incorporated the blues, jade, and mustard. I am looking forward to the addtion of shades of red, and I can't wait to see what happens when I add my own interpretation to the colour brown.

Stay tuned!

The Blue Hues

Blue Iris - This is Pantone’s color of the year for 2008, according to their report. A rich beautiful blue with purple undertones. Combining the regal richness of purple with cool and calming aspects of blue.

Royal Lilac - Dramatic Royal Lilac is a combination of bluish purples and cheerful red undertones. undertones.

Shady Glade -It provides a willing companion to shady glade, a mossy green base color.

Caribbean Blue -Evokes memories of tropical vacations which adds intensity to its color companions.

Twilight Blue - Twilight Blue is a twist on a classic navy, a strong, powerful steady color.

The Red Hues

Aurora Red - Reds and purples are a keynote combination for Fall 2008.

Withered Rose - Moving on to dusky brownish pinks, Withered Rose blends with almost any shade.

Burnt Orange - Powerful and robust, Burnt Orange is subtle enough to be worn by most skin tones, but steady enough to be a backdrop and strong enough to be at the fore front of an outfit.

Ochre - Adding a touch of lightness traditional autumnal color is Ochre with a hint of mustard against mellow yellow.

Understated Shitake

Shitake - "The color of a Japanese mushroom, this complex yet modest shade is intriguingly understated," states the Pantone report, "especially when teamed with the robust colors of fall" '08.

The Color Purple - Prominent in Fall Designer Collections

2008-04-14T00:42:00.005-04:00

Hey! DeeBozzz is featured on Shoptoit in an article about Hot Trends this season! They have used my 30"x30" Khaki Check Painted Silk Scarf:

"Silky Scarves"
Floaty romantic scarves are the season's top accessories - use them as a sash, headband, or as an ascot to cover up a risque neckline. Silk scarves feel good, look rich and luxurious, and have their uses in both warm and cool weather.

A La Grace Kelly

2008-04-06T02:45:00.003-04:00

Named for the famous American actress-turned-Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, this method of wearing a scarf was used to protect the hair-style and still look glamorous while traveling.

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf Tying the Scarf:

Take the square scarf and fold it diagonally from one corner to its opposite.

Place the scarf over the head with the folded edge facing forward. Bring the folded corners down under the chin and cross them, pushing the points back around the neck on each side.

In the back of the neck, gather the folded corners and tie them together, making sure to catch the loose corners of the scarf under the knot being formed.

Leave the ends loose, or tuck them under as you prefer. Add a pair of tortoise-shell sunglasses and you'll be ready to slip past the paparazzi.

(Note: The Kelly can also be performed using the rectangular (or oblong) scarf for those times when you want to add more flair to the look.) THE LIST MAVEN

Our Trip to Jamaica '08

2008-04-03T00:10:00.026-04:00

My husband and I decided to go back to Jamaica, a year after we got married there on the beach.

We totally surprised his parents, and the rest of the family. Here are some pics..... and of course... I am sportin' my DeeBozzz Silk Scarves!
