:annoyed: Tried to copy this look 5 times and epic failed :doh: Maybe I'll find a triangular scarf and try again.

SOTD was Galop Volant for two reasons. First, I thought perhaps a design with a defined direction would be better suited to the wall than the neck. I then realized that a huge number of my scarves have a defined direction, so I tossed that theory. Second, I promised @lanit to do some modshots of this scarf, so two birds with one stone. Testing here to see if I get upside-down people/horses or the ubiquitous equine butt. Actually it tied quite well :smile:

I think your second knot, clockwise from the top, is on the right track! Maybe try it with a more stiff scarf ? The look seems to require that the cowboy-triangle region have enough structure to remain flat on its own.

That was one of the epic fail attempts :biggrin:
That flat rectangular front was difficult to achieve. The stiffer scarf you suggested might work. Archive photo of a new and stiff Acte III. If I tilted the angle and positioned the knot underneath, it might come close.

I don’t have any scarves displayed as art- but love to wear these bits of art around my neck!
One scarf I have thought about mounting ( if I actually had any wall space), is En avant toute! Queen Mary 2 edition.
Only sold on board the QM2 during the first years of operation. I was lucky to find this on eBay .

Wow, red is your beauty-and-power colour @AnnaE! And I also loved your SD in the red cw -- quite unique!

Thank you! My store only had the marine colorway, so this had to be ordered from a different store, but it was worth it.


Beautiful -- not familiar with this design at all. I like the necklace with it!

I wonder if the not in question utilizes a smaller scarf... Will have to try with a 70 today.

I haven't backtracked yet to see what y'all were up to...but just sayin' I love this CE of Acte iii on you!

I adore this particular WACO NI colorway. I would enjoy seeing it on my wall.

This would be fantastic displayed!
 
Oh, regarding directional designs, I have to admit that I have not figured out how to get the snowy owl in Canadian Wild flying the right way up when I wear it. It is always upside-down. Bothered me enough that I actually told Alice Shirley :blush:. I usually end up hiding it in a fold.
Aaaaaand... what did AS say when you told her??? We want to know the rest of the story!!! :graucho:

She had just pointed out and named every animal on the scarf. She was amused that I had difficulty with the owl, but said that there was no other way to fit it into the design. I think @HermesHope wrote on her blog about a non-H scarf she has which also gave her this upside-down bird problem.
FYI This is going to be my challenge scarf for our 12 May theme - I'm going to experiment with different knots to see if I can get the various animals in view. Such small victories in life make me happy :biggrin:
