I had a lucky "Buy It Now" find on Ebay this week and here she is a Fleurs et Raisins Plisse!! Worn here in the flower knot with my silver Bolduc scarf ring (Scarf Ring II).
Here worn as a bow using my Bolduc scarf ring.
Here I decide to experiment a little and I simply tied the scarf around the neck and then did a mini Friendship Knot with the ends - I think it looks quite cute!
Here are a few detail shots of the scarf - the pink flowers are roses and lilies and the border has honeysuckle flowers around it. I like the pink flowers and purple grapes - they are my kind of colours;-)
The scarf features cornucopias of grapes and flowers - as a fan of flowers and of flower arranging I think this scarf was a "must" for me. As with all plisse scarves, it is interesting to see how different the scarf looks tied/worn compared to stretched out - the red in the outer border (which you can see in the photos above) becomes quite predominant and the yellow grapes seem to feature heavily!
Congratulations!! Your new plisse is lovely, and you look stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank very much for your friendship knot video.
This knot was an enigma to me, and now I can enjoy it.
Thank you Cecilia - really glad the video helped crack teh Friendship Knot!! It'll soon become second nature!
