I love being out in nature especially in the woods.

I was inspired to design this shawl because of the beautiful pale jade green yarn that I had. I have always loved this color and have been captivated on my walks on the beach when I find this green sea glass.

The inspiration for this shawl was a peacock that is housed in a local botanical garden. I just fell in love with the colors and the flow of the tail feathers. I used a wool/silk blend lace yarn which I felt was perfect to capture the feel and movement of feathers.
