35 x 35 inch silk bandana botanically dyed with cochineal, an insect that feeds off of the nopal cactus, that I harvested and processed before beginning the dying process.
 
Rags are large square bandanas, traditionally made of silk, worn by ranchers and cowpokes. They're lightweight, breathable during hot days and warming during cold nights. While traditionally worn by cowboys and cowgirls, they can be worn by anyone for various occasions. 
 
Small batched botanical dye is non-toxic on your skin, more water efficient and overall leaves a smaller impact on the environment. The nature of using botanical dyes is that fading may occur adding to the element of the piece, aging beautifully with time.
