New Book Invites the Eco-Conscious to join The Wrapping Scarf Revolution!
Leisure Arts proudly announces the publication of "The Wrapping Scarf Revolution" by Patricia Lee. A lovely tradition from Asia, the wrapping scarf offers earth-savvy Americans an exciting and elegant alternative to wasteful gift-wrapping materials and shopping bags made of paper and plastic.
Wrapping Scarves have been used in Asia for centuries by men and women alike. The idea is so simple that even children wrapped their lunches with wrapping scarves before the widespread use of disposable brown bags. This ingenious method of wrapping and carrying will open earth-friendly eyes to a whole new world of beauty. And it's not a matter of if the technique works, it's only a matter of getting started! Being eco-smart while retaining beauty and convenience - it's more than possible with wrapping scarves!
Growing up in a traditional Korean household of four generations, author Patricia Lee was no stranger to wrapping scarves, or bojagi as they are called in Korea. Seasonal clothes, blankets, and even food were routinely wrapped up with old bojagi. However, it wasn't until a visit to her birthplace of Seoul in the early 90s that she discovered how artistic and sophisticated wrapping scarves could be. She fell in love with the beauty, simplicity, and functionality of the wrapping scarf and has modernized this ancient tradition for a new generation of people interested in smart, sustainable living.
Throughout the pages of "The Wrapping Scarf Revolution," Patricia shows how wrapping scarves can easily be integrated into anyone's lifestyle. She shares simple techniques for knotting reusable fabric scarves into ten styles of gift wrap and six must-make handbags. Six additional scarf-tying methods for carrying odd shapes and beautifying household items are also included, plus tips for creating handmade wrapping scarves. Patricia is the founder of the BOBO Wrapping Scarf Company and lives in Connecticut with her husband and two sons. Visit her on the web at www.wrappingscarf.com.
According to Patricia, "The Wrapping Scarf Revolution is about reducing the waste in our lives while still celebrating beauty and fine things. It is also a way to connect with not only the cultures of the East, but to all the cultures of the world who are finding new and old ways to heal our damaged planet."
