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

Hand dyed silk and hand cut gemstones honor the artisan traditions I’m building on. And the reminder that irregularities are beautiful - that speaks to me.  I love the way color flows along silk, rich and vibrant, and the way delicately faceted stones catch the light. The materials feel grounded - real in a way that reaches back in time, even though the colors and styles I work with are more modern.

We are more than what we wear, of course, always – but a flourish, a finishing touch, that accent that lifts your outfit up out of the ordinary? That makes 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.

Come on in.  I hope you find something lovely.

 

Warmly,

Clare
