Mary Hammond
Delicate Artistry

Woodland Scarf

Some artists use paintbrushes, others, pastels - Mary Hammond's medium is thread in all forms. Using unique fabrics to map out her ideas and sewing over it to complete the design, Mary creates beautiful, delicate scarves that are stunning on or off the body. Roses, leaves, even faces can be found amongst her colorful patterns. If you don't wear scarves, why not dress up your home with a scarf that doubles as a table-runner? Or frame one up and hang it on your wall - Karen is doing just that for one of her many projects!
