My Scarf Design Process - From Art to Fashion

Hello Beautiful Friends!

I often get asked where my scarf designs come from. Well, the answer is rather obvious - and vague at the same time.

Above is an original artwork, Jubilant, and the finished scarf designed from the art. But How did I do it?Well, it’s a process. Let’s break it down.

I paint, draw, illustrate and doodle my way into most of my scarf designs.

It is not as simple as painting on fabric, although that is a magical process. Most of the time, I paint a floral on canvas or paper and then the process begins.

If my painting has elements that I feel would make a beautiful fabric or home decor, I start dissecting it into elements, colors, etc.

I scan my work, I open my artwork in Procreate on my iPad, and then I select and separate each element. Once everything is on a separate layer, I then transfer the artwork to Photoshop and begin laying out the design.

The final step is laying the finished design out in my scarf template, uploading it to my fulfillment center, and posting it for sale on my website and Etsy store.

If you are a designer, this may all make sense to you. If not, it may be clear as swamp water. Sorry about that.

Nevertheless, that is my usual process.

It always starts as a painting, and then I use my Graphic Designer background to create the design.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my process. If you have any questions about Procreate, Photoshop, or my favorite art mediums, leave me a message and I will post a reply with some more details. 

Peace, Love, and Creativity,

Jodi

NEW! The 2025 Flower Fields Collection Catalog is Live!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Many of you know of my obsession with neck adornment, aka Scarves.

I have launched a new collection within my SCIARPA! Wearable Art Scarves Collection. It's called, the Flower Fields Collection, inspired by our local Flower Fields, of course. 

Designs range from the mystical dragonfly, sunny sunflowers that appear at the fields in Fall, and the star of the collection, the Ranunculus, otherwise known as Persian Buttercups. There are also a few garden flower designs, as they are often seen in the gardens there.

As for my SCIARPA! Scarves, the price remains the same, for now. My fulfillment partner has raised their fees slightly, but for now I will hold off on any price increases. Crossing fingers...

You can see my New Flower Fields Collection catalog on my website. I have made it available as a download, so you can share with someone you know who also fancies a glorious Spring wrap!

I'd love to know what you think of my Catalog. Leave me a comment below with your thoughts.

Thank you!

Peace, Love, and Creativity, 

Jodi
