I collected the dress I designed today. It is surreal and exciting. My friend made it for me and I couldn’t be happier with it. I’ll post all about the process in due course. 🤗

One down, four to go. ❤️

I used to think that my creativity would hold me back in my communications career.

I now realise that my creativity wasn’t holding me back. I was holding me back. I was meant to make things BEAUTIFUL.

I used to think creativity would hold me back in my comms roles.

“Make this pretty” they’d say.

Now I realise making things completely and totally beautiful is what I was meant to do.

Sometimes stuff doesn’t work. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love happy clients:

"It's perfect! I love all of the details and the beautiful uniqueness of my scarf. It's just perfect and the consultation process was so fun!"

Read all about the process and the fine details in this wonderful scarf that I made for a superwoman:

What’s inside? Unbox a scarf with me!

Drawing inspiration from nature, vintage aesthetics, my heritage, and my life as a multitasking working mom, I create wearable art that is visually and environmentally thoughtful.

It’s a scarf that’s a storytelling device. I hope you like it. 💕

Kathy Kyle @kathykyle.bsky.social · Apr 6

My scarves have arrived! I haven’t ironed it, but here it is. And here is my crazy dining room table, covered in scarves.

Personal stories and wearable art are at the heart! ♥️

My academic path led me to a federal career, which led me to consulting, entrepreneurship and (back) to my artistic, sustainable journey.

I will always be grateful for my time and for the friendships I made at SDSU. Thank you for this feature, SDSU Alumni: www.sdsualumni.org/s/997/22/pag...

I am busy packing up my scarves for my April launch.

Every piece of wearable art is a story, wrapped up in a story book box made from sustainably sourced recycled materials, that’s compostable, biodegradable and recyclable.

Are you coming to my launch? 🚀

Kathy Kyle @kathykyle.bsky.social · Mar 6

Ok…so I didn’t measure this correctly. I did come up with a work around…

This is why you test then perfect and *then* buy a 💩load of frames for the launch. 🚀

I’ve got this. 🤗 See more at kathykyle.com ✨

I didn’t measure the drilled holes properly. Image shows scarf covering holes.

Coming up with a creative solution - cutting a painted silk scarf up to fit and test the frame.
