Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2019 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[momasaurus]

Apologies for the triple error above. I've reported it. Dupe postings are bad enough, but triplets

I wore a scarf today which I haven't seen before on SOTD. This is Faites Vos Jeux which is completely about playing various types of games. It's a bird's eye view of four chairs and a glass table. You can see dominos, draughts, scrabble, dice and other games on the table.

The border has the symbols of the four card suits. As well, the entire scarf is overlaid with an interlocking jigsaw grid.

Another scarf which has a jigsaw grid is Puzzle.

Jigsaws belong to a class of toys for older-than-toddlers which challenge the mind to reconstruct an image. H has several scarves which play on this theme where the mind and the eye may each see something different.
For instance, the lenticular ducks and rabbits in this Illusion gavroche, Onde de Chic with the horses hidden in the swirling lines and Sous les Orangeres in the orange cw which has fish concealed in the rippling waters.

Other twists on the theme: in the kaleidoscope (traditional toy!) of Faubourg by Night, Faubourg itself is fractalized. And the Magic Eye effect is used in Magic Kelly and the pixilated Rendezvous au 24.

You are so clever. These are wonderful!
But help me with the Illusion gavroche. I only see rabbits. Am I supposed to also see ducks?

The rabbit ears become the duckling's beak and the rabbit front paws become the flapping wings.

I assumed the H scarf is a play on this New Yorker cartoon? https://fineartamerica.com/featured/an-army-lines-up-for-battle-paul-noth.html

Great outfits! I love these colors on you, bunny.

Thank you moma! I do seem to be drawn to the pinks and corals....

The rabbit-duck illusion dates back to the 19th century.

I like illusion drawings. It's like rewiring your brain to see something new.

Whoa! Now I get it.

Great intro this week, and so many amazing scarves! In my early days of collecting, I came close to buying the faites vos jeux a few times- I never realized those were chairs around a table! True that I never see it posted here.

ohmigoodness! H has some fascinating scarves - I'm not sure I would have seen that Faites Vos Jeux was a table covered with different games - how cool!
I *do* have a couple to play with this week - thank you for reminding me!

The rabbit ears become the duckling's beak and the rabbit front paws become the flapping wings.

… I also did not see that until you explained it!

Tlamdang08 - this looks just amazing ! I envy you (in a good way) for the great tailor too, who does such a fantastic job, down to the last detail - a performance that can hardly be found anymore.

Only Hermes tailor does this. The shirt is truly a piece of art.

Thank you well i dit let it go - and it’s goo

oh thank you Papertiger ! well i did let it go... no regret so far ! And since i have found another scarf - Minéraux.
That was my sotd (not on theme !!! Although i might argue that we can play with these rocks !!)
I have no idea how old this scarf is and the material is like nothing i have seen before.. very thick, with a silvery thread. I asked in the « identification » scarf thread but perhaps someone here has seen this before?

The fabric is scrumptious!

This is fantastic!!!!

That looks lovely.... is there a tutorial for the Fifi knot anywhere, by any chance?



AMAZING!

Thanks so much!

Wonderful examples! I always felt that Faites Vos Jeux would tie beautifully and it certainly does! And this CW is stunning!

The wooden toys of Noel au Faubourg 24... While I love this CW, I recently fulfilled my wish of adding another much coveted one to my collection... Am saving it for December and can barely hold my excitement


Jeux de Paille based on the old game of straws, or pick-up-sticks




Playing that “he love me, he loves me not” daisies game... Amours




Jeux de Cartes


Plenty of frolicking and games in La Maison des Carres




Winter fun and games in Joies d’Hiver
