She's a real sweetheart! (Probably will be a little terror in a few weeks more...)
Thank you Amours twin! (She has pretty much got my FB page wrapped around her little paw now...)
Fiona!!
HNN!Yes- in this project even day is Siberia! Every day I try to readapt somehow so I can strip down to go outside and "parka up" indoors.
The tart citrus green colors (like your Fairytales) always look particularly lovely on you.
I will, my dear MsAli!
I love the way you style your scarves, I'll use mine more now! 
I'm looking forward to your next visit! 
It's truly perfect for you! Congratulations!
Marvelous intro xincinsin!Annie Faivre certainly creates the most amazing designs with or without monkeys. So I wouldn't be surprised if her scarves appeared again this week
FAIRY DUSTQuite appropriately, my dissertation was on early fantasy writer George MacDonald and I compared him with contemporary fantasy authors like Roger Zelazny and Jack Chalker. I've always been enthralled by fantasy and sci-fi, and H designs are a paradise for my imagination.
Fantasy-themed scarves
My very first fairy tale book was a Ladybird edition of Cinderella. This tale has inspired a couple of H scarves: Cendrillon which has swirling graphics though I don't see any immediate association with Cinderella, and De la Citrouelle a la Caleche which depicts the pumpkin transforming into a coach. Both designs shown here in two cws.

With (ahem!) maturity, I find fractured fairy tales much more to my liking. Peau d'Ane is a very interesting take on the Cinderella trope. And of course there is this lovely set of gavs which are based on fairy tales and are slightly fractured

Acte III is a beautiful modern take on a very old Shakespear play with fairies galore. I was slightly bothered by the headless lady till clever @papertiger wittily remarked that Oberon's spell has made Titania "lose her head" over Bottom.

I'd count Ugo Gattoni and Jan Bajtlik, as well as many others, as H's modern fantasists! Spreading the fairy dust with chimeras in Della Cavelleria Favolosa, the wacky Bains d'Hermes, and H's own mythology with Super H and Monsieur Bones.

Fiona is smiling! She knows she will spent much of her time buried in silk!She's a real sweetheart! (Probably will be a little terror in a few weeks more...)

bunnycat's furbabies live in the lap of luxury!
Happy to be twins with you!
I can see why they are given such fabulous treatment!
The sea is a place of mystery for landlubbers, so it's no wonder that we fantasize about oceanic realms and associate it with magic and transformation.
The froth of koi churning the waters in Ecume. Carp leaping the dragon gate in A Contre Courant. The Little Mermaid exchanges her voice for legs to win love. Urashima Taro saves a carp which transforms into a maiden who leads him underwater and he lives hundreds of human years in a few days in that faerie land. Fish turn into birds which turn into fish in De la Mer au Ciel.

That Ecume is fantastic!!
And what is the scarf in the lower right corner, please?
