Hello my fellow mousseketeers! It's time to do like P!nk and "Get the Party Started". :biggrin:

Going to share my very Happy Birthday present. (He didn't make me wait!!!! OMG!!!) I had no idea this a going to be "grail-love" type of love until I saw it in person, lol, but it hit my like a ton of bricks....Here's a hint....It shares the name with P!nk, in that it is very very very pink. The pinkest scarf I have ever seen on this thread.

Ok...a few quick pics....

I've had this scarf before in a bandana but sold it because the colors didn't look right on me, so it wasn't really on my radar again. But well, it's mousseline, and I've been looking for a pink scarf for awhile so thought I'd take a look at this since it had a return policy and Mr Bcat offered to get it for the "present stash". Blown away by its pinkness upon arrival, I grudgingly put it back in the box to await some special gift giving occasion. So happy that it was a short wait!

My NTM Peuple du Vent GM mousseline in fuchsia, rose vif and violet. It's a little pinker IRL than the pics show. The incandescent overhead is pulling out the more reddish tones.

Marvelous! So to be a changeant the colours have more contrast? The wonderful mysteries of changeants!:flowers:
Click to expand...

If you want a strong changeant effect, the colors that are placed in the weaving need to have higher contrast (like pink and blue or green and purple). But because the base of the scarf strarts with some woven color, I think that is why a lot of the changeants don't often have a lot of contrast and are more tonal, because any silk screening done over the top of the base color is going to be affected by that color underneath and so looses some contrast.

Thanks for the explanation.:flowers: Now I have to try to take some pictures of my moussies! What do you use for the close up of the weave?
