Ode to Indiana - Oblong

$80.00Price

  • Prior to the research I conducted to learn more about the official Indiana state symbols, I did not know we have an official state poem. It brought tears to my eyes the first time I read it as it so aptly expresses my own love of my state’s beauty. Written by Arthur Franklin Mapes (March 16, 1913-January 4, 1986), the
    Indiana General Assembly adopted “Indiana” as the Official State Poem on March 11, 1963. In March 1977, the Legislature again recognized Mapes with a resolution declaring him “Indiana’s Poet Laureate.” The poem has pride of place on this unique scarf, permission generously granted by Mapes’ son and granddaughter.

    Care: Gently wash in lukewarm water using mild detergent. Squeeze out excess water, do not wring or scrub. Air dry, iron on silk setting as needed. May dry clean.

I can’t say enough about Carrie’s work. She makes every stroke and every stitch with so much care and it shines in everything that she does. She makes it so that I can have those reminders in my home or something just tucked away in my pocket. And to get something like that as a gift just makes you feel incredibly special, incredibly loved! It’s made me feel that way anyway!

When our grandson and his fiance announced that they would be married in Zion National Park in Utah, I knew immediately I wanted to wear a color that would be perfect with the red rocks of Zion, and I also knew who could create what I wanted- Carrie Wright whose silk creations are magic. Covid 19 forced a change of wedding venue to Brown County, IN, but the event lost nothing in translation. Neither did my beautiful silk ensemble which received many complements! It was a wonderful day, and I’m so grateful to Carrie for creating the perfect skirt for me!

The first time that I saw Carrie’s work was when her beautiful banners were displayed on the walls of our church’s sanctuary. For a long time I was not aware that she was the one who created them! Once I learned that Carrie was the artist, I strongly encouraged her to open a business so that others could enjoy her gifts and talents. I know I wasn’t the only one encouraging her to do this! This past Mother’s day, one of my daughters surprised me with one of Carrie’s beautiful scarves. It’s a gift that I will forever cherish! If you’re looking for a unique gift to give a special friend or loved one for any occasion, I highly recommend one of Carrie’s gorgeous creations!

My husband and I hired Carrie for three different jobs here at our place. She created these beautiful banners with verses or songs as we asked her to. She would come in the room and look around and really know the dimensions it should be, the colors, the patterns. And the thoughts behind our ideas she could really interpret a result that was just fantastic! Her color choices were just awesome, and the richness of the fabrics and the color combinations were just wonderful! The work itself is exquisite! We’re very thankful for her creativity, for the results in these messages that these works of art communicate to everyone that walks through the door. We’re just really thrilled with the results!
