I’m happy to share the news that Sarah’s Silks just released a playsilk featuring my spring scene, Mossy Glen! The sample was a welcome sight, as it arrived just before the second major snow storm we’ve had in a month. Hanging in the window, its green and yellow pallet makes me feel hopeful that the snow outside will eventually melt and the trees will bud.

Mossy Glen is the spring scene in a series of seasonal landscapes that capture the wonder and magic of the natural world. During the months-long process of making it, I documented my progress with photos and videos. Click on the photos below to view the 8 part series.

Sarah’s Silks is a wonderful family run company dedicated to providing natural toys that encourage open-ended play. Playsilks have been the main focus of their business for over 30 years, although they’ve branched out to include a beautiful selection of wooden toys. To learn more about playsilks and get ideas for how to use them, visit Sarah’s Silks.

The playsilk measures approximately 21″ x 26″ and is made from heavyweight, 100% pure mulberry silk. Playsilks are perfect for quiet moments of child-directed play – they encourage observation, imagination, and storytelling. They can also be displayed on a wall or in a window. The Springtime in Mossy Glen Playsilk is available from both my Etsy Shop here and Sarah’s Silk’s here. Sarah’s Silk sells Playsilk hangers, too.

I’m excited to be collaborating with Sarah Lee and her company, which has held true to its founding principle of encouraging creative play using simple multi purpose toys. If all goes well with this first springtime release, they will offer playsilks of the other scenes in my seasonal landscape series in the future.
