A few days ago, I received this luminous mantle named Flamingo Sky, from my two sister friends Diana and Kay. It has set my heart aloft, coming at a time of need. Diana (www.dyedianadye.1000markets.com) dyed the silk, stripped and spliced it into long feathery tendrils and mailed it all to Kay (www.onslenderthreads.1000markets.com) who then designed and knit a most wondrous mantle, added long wingtip featherings of silk strips and chose numinous gemstones: pink agate druzy and quartz. The addition of the gemstones adds a curious design feature...they weight the garment, settle it into place. My favorite way to wear it is with one jeweled wing at my back, and one over my heart. When I move, the gemstones gently rock against my body, reminding me of their healing presence.
