Formosa Sapphire
Scarf for Yen & Yu design
Formosa Sapphire is a silk scarf decorated with a pattern of Swinhoe's Pheasant, a bird species endemic to Taiwan. The design features hand-drawn brush strokes, fine line textures and bright colors. The bird was studied through photographs and reference books, then drawn in detail. The artwork was converted into a vector file to preserve the original strokes and colors, and is applied to silk by digital printing. The scarf measures 650 by 650 millimeters. The intent is to introduce endemic Taiwanese birds to a wider audience and to support awareness of bird conservation.

Operation Flow
All these beautiful scarves can stay with you to live a beautiful life.
Research
Since Swinhoe's Pheasant is difficult to find, the designer observed the appearance of the animal through photographs and from the book Wild Bird of Taiwan, then drew the beautiful appearance of the animal delicately.
Inspiration
Swinhoe's Pheasant is a kind of endemic species in Taiwan. It is covered in feathers with blue color and its gestures are eye-catching and difficult to see. The designer was once lucky to see the Swinhoe's Pheasant in a mountain, and she was immediately impressed by the animal. She believes these birds should be introduced to the world. At the same time, people can also raise the awareness of endemic species birds conservation.
