Beauty marks define this half moon veil. They were created from the simmering dye pot, giving this veil a unique touch, no other exists in the world like it. Just like you. :)
Buckthorn is an invasive tree in Wisconsin, so we scrape the bark off to reveal a deep orange underlayer. This bark, rich with the tree’s lifeblood, gives this half moon sumptuous veil it’s rich coloration. Naturally dyed, this fleshy warm tone hearkens to wildness and softness of skin itself. A fluttering edge inspires to nature herself, trees and soil, bird feathers and rabbit fur. You are of the cosmos, you are one with everything.
Each weighted silk veil is a unique art piece, created by Gaea Lady (assisted by Laine Bones). This style of ‘flow prop’ is designed to get you out of your head and into your body by enveloping both dancer and viewers in high quality Chinese silk. It is accessible to beginners, yet offers complexity for years and years of devoted explorations & refinement. The weighted edge ‘leads’ the rest of the veil, offering more direction than just a silk veil itself. A whole flow-losophy has emerged out of Gaea’s experience with this prop, and she teaches online via classes & tours sharing it. Versatile: costume, garment, skirt, cape, wrap ; as a decorative element in the home ; and as flow prop that can be used in a myriad of ways. (This design is the product of 10+ years of development and refinement by Gaea herself, please do not replicate without permission! )
Size (approx) : 108in x 45in / half circle shape
Movement : the long rounded edge of this medium sized flutters like a petal, a sea creature, a wing. It is perfect as a skirt, a panel skirt, a cape (front or back, or side), a head wrap, or more… It’s rounded shape means you’ll step on it less, and the shape throws big. Great for small or large spaces, thisshape is a favorite (and try it with 2 at a time, in each hand or the same, if you dare :) )
Fabric : 8mm lightweight Chinese silk. water-like, buttery, sleek, sturdy. 5mm lightweight sheer silk. wafty, delicate, beautifully airy.
Dye: The golden tan of this veil is naturally dyed with wildharvested buckthorn bark outside over an open flame cauldron at Caryatis Farm.
Each veil purchase comes with a “Care & Keeping” sheet with a link to free intro classes & silk veil challenges.
If you’d like YOUR own vision, request a custom order.
