“Jan’s hand-painted silk scarves and wraps are Midwestern treasures you’d expect to find in one of Chicago’s Oak Street boutiques. Her lavish use of color and creativity are always admired by my special friends who are lucky enough to get them as gifts.”
Barbara Babcock, editor, Madison, WI
“Heike LOVED the scarf you made. We celebrated her birthday last night. She immediately put the scarf on and wore it to dinner. The colors were just right for her. She thought the weight was just right too. Light enough to wear in Florida. Thanks again on a perfect job!"
Heather Manning, greeting card designer, Tampa, FL (www.heathermanning.com)
"Jan Gipple’s scarves are a true art form on silk... I have sold her scarves in my specialty store for three years and they have become sought-after treasures.“

“When I needed a very special gift to present to my cousin, an opera singer in Dusseldorf, Germany, I commissioned Jan to paint a scarf with lyrics to Carol’s favorite opera, “Der Rosenkavalier”. . . the finished product is fabulous and Carol was thrilled with such a unique, personalized gift.”

“ "Fire Storms off the Shores of Leo." A perfectly exquisite art form in silk -- a fluid, languid scarf commorating a day of birth. "Timbers exploding. Splintering tongues of flame across our path driving through raging forest fires in Glacier National Park, 1965, down logging trails to a tiny village hospital. Absolutely magical, is your art, Jan. With only dates, suggestive phrases, and my poignant story, you created with splashed colors, love and empathy a one-of-a-kind gift to celebrate the birth and unique persona of our daughter. Thank you for your sensitivity and ability to bring to life with paint, the emotions I could only say in words. In gratitude, ”

"Jan's beautiful, hand painted scarves have made lovely holiday gifts for my sister and mother in Phoenix. Even in the desert, they wear these incredible light shawls out to the opera or theatre.
Whenever I purchase a gift I end up buying one. My collection of Jan's silk scarves come in an array of colors . . . they really add sparkle and sophistication to my basic work suits."
Deb Gore Ohrn, Executive Editor, Des Moines, IA and Phoenix, AZ
