About Ten Thousand Dandelions

Hello! I'm Clare Lipinski, the owner and artist behind Ten Thousand Dandelions, and I'm so glad you've come by.

 

I am a color-lover and texture aficionado who worked my way around to hand dyeing silk scarves via knitting, printmaking and jewelry design. I have been hand dyeing for nearly a decade, and designing and making earrings for even longer.

 

I work in hand dyed silk and hand cut gemstones in honor of the artisan traditions I’m building on, and because I love the reminder that irregularities are beautiful. I’m enchanted by the way colors flow along the silk, turning rich and luminous, and by the wildly gorgeous shimmer of delicately faceted stones. The materials feel grounded - real in a way that reaches back in time, even as the colors and styles I work with are more modern.

  

We are more than what we wear, of course, always – but a delightful flourish, like a vivid silk scarf or a delicately swinging earring? That can make you feel elegant, celebrated, and confident. 

 

I believe that getting dressed should be a chance to add joy to your day, and each Ten Thousand Dandelions piece is created with that in mind.
