About this project

Sorry to pre-empt my fabulous family stylin' with the scarves video, but I just got caught up in a Cedar Waxwing explosion.  Since they are a major part of my scarving oeuvre, I thought you might like to see them in action.  Bathing en masse in the creek.  Shot in my backyard 11/26/11 2:30PM  and once again, video is not my strong suit.  Stills of the Waxwings will be posted later on my website.   

My new video featuring the test runs of the Silk Birds!  I'm not a videographer, but I wanted everyone to see the scarves in action!  And you can't go wrong with Leigh hamming it up for the camera!!  (mad improv skills baby sis!!)  The scarves are beautiful and colorful and 100% silk.  The designs are based on photographs I have taken of birds over the past year.  I've transformed the original photos into vibrant translations of the avian world.  Birds are very inspirational, and I've been wanting to make scaves for a long time.  I've had 3 of the designs (shown in the video) made into scarves, and am very happy with the result.  However they are somewhat costly to make, so I'm trying to raise money to do a full run and bring down the price so everyone can afford them!!   Of course I will always be able to do custom orders, but I believe that beauty is for the masses!!   

Everyone needs a scarf!  functional and fabulous!   wearable art for you!!

  Please look at my website for design ideas and colors. (http://ladybartramaudubon.com/page10.php) .  

Big thank you to all my supporters!!  And if you're missing the original video of the owl , just go to my facebook page and you can see her on there!  https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=2034539626369

Filmed on location at Mema's house.  Starring my sister, my niece, and my daughter.    Beauty for all!!

I'm and artist and musician from the fun and fabulous Athens, Georgia. I'm an adventurous traveler and I live to go places I've never been before. I'm the proud mother of a brilliant and kind Georgia Bulldog, and I'm trying to forge a new career doing something I love. I'm an eco warrior and a staunch environmentalist. I speak for the trees. I'm particularly inspired by birds, and they have become the leitmotif for my designs.
I live in a wooded tract full of wildlife, and prefer to stay home unless I'm visiting friends or performing. My current band is the Adams Family Country Band, and we're out and about in Athens. Come see us if you love Hank, Merle, Patsy and George, or if you love a good time and great musicians. I'm the singer. I'll be wearing sequins. Check out my website and my facebook photos page for art and music stuff. My profile photo on kickstarter is of my beautiful daughter modeling one of my scarves.! Support this fine young lady's mother in her initial foray into the business world. You'll be so glad you did, especially when you get your fabulous reward! Thanks Y'all!
