i see these beautiful hand stamped silk scarf's on here.my question is where do you get them from? can they be easily made if you know how to sew? when looking on-line most of what i seen is all pre-designed and various colours. I would love to make some as gifts this x-mas, if i can find them or make them easily and afford-ably in standard colours and hand stamped. thanks for any info on this topic

They sell white silk scarves for silk painting. For example, Dick Blick's website has a few: Silk Scarves - BLICK art materials

Google suggested this search string, "blank silk scarves for painting" (without the quotes), which returns a lot of other suppliers.

I love the ones from Dharma Trading Company: Silk Scarves & Veils

They have lots of "blanks" for creating.

Do you have any recommendations on what ink to use on silk fabric? Will regular inks that work on fabric be OK? I have a few that I can test but don't want to possibly ruin my scarf if I don't have to, kwim? =)

I second Dharma Trading Company. For Stamping on Fabric ideas go to: Tools for Stamping

Dharma has lots of inks & paints, too. Did you look around their technique section. You should be able to use any fabric-safe ink on silk.

I actually saw some silk scarves being sold in a craft store recently. I just can't remember whether it was Michael's, AC Moore's, or Hobby Lobby.

Don't know if this is any help or not as far as where to buy them, but . . . I hope so.
