STORY: Starfish and other shells.The eleven-armed Sea Star is a starfish in the family Asteriidae and is the largest Starfish in Southern Australia and New Zealand. It can be found with seven to fourteen arms, but eleven is most common and sometimes arms become detached. The Starfish is capable of reforming a new body from a single arm if the arm includes part of the central disc and it uses this ability to escape predators.The Eleven-Armed Sea Star feeds on mussels, sea urchins and other small sea stars. The photos used to create this scarf were taken through the water into rock pools giving the scarf a three-dimensional look with shimmering highlights. Gunaikurnai aboriginals still reside in the area.

THE SILK STORY: Silk is known as the Queen of fabrics: Natural sheen that never diminishes/ soft, light and luxurious / Cool in Summer – Warm in Winter/ Absorbing perspiration yet letting skin breathe/ Promoting skin rejuvenation/ Hypoallergenic/ Eco-Friendly/ Biodegradable/ Easily Washed/ great tensile strength and durability. Confucius and Chinese legend narrate that around 3000BC the 14 year old Empress Leizu, wife of the Yellow Emperor, discovered Silk when a cocoon fell into her tea cup. She then developed the art of raising silk worms (Sericulture) and became known as the Goddess of Silk in Chinese Mythology. Being an exquisite, precious fibre, for many millennia, it was one of the most zealously guarded secrets in history.
