cobweb felted scarf -wine of life-

 

But you are more than love,
the fiery kiss,
the heat of fire,
more than the wine of life;
you are
the community of man,
translucency,
chorus of discipline,
abundance of flowers.
I like on the table,
when we’re speaking,
the light of a bottle
of intelligent wine.
Drink it,
and remember in every
drop of gold,
in every topaz glass,
in every purple ladle,
that autumn labored
to fill the vessel with wine;
and in the ritual of his office,
let the simple man remember
to think of the soil and of his duty,
to propagate the canticle of the wine.

~ Ode To Wine by Pablo Neruda

This breezy and loose scarf is made with the cobweb felting technique, thus most of its parts are transparent with some small holes. This is the fascinating part of the cobweb felt which makes it unique.

For the scarf is used extra-fine merino wool from Australia in orange and deep wine red; it is decorated with a big quantity of mulberry silk threads in dark wine red therefore it becomes shiny at its edges.

It measures approximately 170 cm (66.9in) length and 20-35 cm (7.9-13.8 in) width. It is narrow in the middle in order to be wrapped better around the neck and more than once and on the edges is wider giving the impression of a butterfly!

Its transparent surface allows the colour of your top to be partly visible and combined with a contrasting colour can give an enchanting effect! Although made of wool it is soft and airy and it feels absolutely like silk!

Enjoy a colourful and harmonious autumn!

cobweb felted scarf- Joy of Darkness-

cobweb felted scarf -Joy of Darkness-

Going at random in the night without a destination, route and ending vision,
without a ray of light without moon and matches,
walking blind, touching blind, being blind
I dreamt that joy abandoned me
Joy was there and I was her true self

This unique scarf came as a spontaneous and surprising answer to my colourful self after a walk in the night! Always inspired by colourful soundings, creating always with a head full of colour, this time I just wanted to mirror the elegance, beauty and mysticism of darkness!

This breezy and loose scarf is made with the cobweb felting technique which also involves soapy water, wool and a lot of patience! Most of its parts are transparent with some small holes thus creating a spider net look. This is the fascinating part about the cobweb felt which makes it unique.

For the scarf were used two very thin layers of black extra-fine merino wool from Australia and a large quantity of mulberry silk threads again in black in order to offer a shiny effect which adopts different hues depending on the natural light.

It measures approximately 150 cm (59.1 in) length and 30-35 cm (11.8 -13.8 in) width. It is a bit narrower in the middle in order to be wrapped better around the neck and on the edges wider! Its surface is uneven depending on the distribution of wool and silk! Where the wool is in larger quantity the surface becomes smooth and dull, where the silk prevails the texture becomes irregular and ruffle however shiny!

Its transparent surface allows the colour of your top to be partly visible and combined with a contrasting colour can give an enchanting effect! It feels soft and smooth and it looks airy and imaginary like a walk in absolute darkness!

felted scarf -Marrakesh night market –

“… The stories are woven
and fortunes are told
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
The magic lies scattered
on rugs on the ground
Faith is conjured in the night market’s sound

Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god…”

~ Loreena McKennitt – Marrakesh night market

Unknowingly and just listening to this song… my imagination was triggered to create this scarf…

This warm and cozy scarf was made using the wet felting technique! Two long however thin layers of orange-red extra fine merino wool from Australia were applied as the basis for the scarf. Its surface was decorated also with extra fine merino wool from Australia in blonde yellow, orange, green-turquoise, and black colors. Its shiny parts were created by using mulberry silk threads in relevant colors.

The scarf measures approximately 175 cm (68.9 in) length and 29-36 cm (11.4-14.2 in) width, thus it is long enough to wrap it twice around your neck! Although made of wool it is so soft, light and smooth that it feels absolutely like silk!

“These things you keep
You’d better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!”

~ This is the sea by Waterboys

Although beginning of autumn I miss the summer so much thus just in remembrance… “this is the sea”!

This pair of arm warmers is made of Australian extra-fine merino wool in turquoise and yellow colours. Additionally mulberry silk threads in blonde yellow are used to decorate them and to offer a more shiny effect. Their edges are uneven and they can be worn inside out; one side covered with the patterning that you see on the photos and the other simply with deep red wool.

They measure approximately 22-24 cm (8.7-9.4 in) length.
