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?

Urashima Taro, my dear moma!
Thank you, Croisette!
Moma, this was my HG and my latest scarf mail. It is also my one and only silk jersey - magical in many ways, not least of which is its escape artistry! Slithers right off me when I don't keep an eye on it :giggle:

It was irresistable, but all cws of Ecume are entrancing!

I believe "Hot to Trot" bandana counts as a fantasy scarf...don't know many horse races that look like it IRL!! Also adding my unwanted summer accessory...must be the summer of tPF foot injuries right @Pautinka and @bunnycat ???
:tdown: Aircast due to broken foot...argh!!

Sending you hugs for quick healing, Bova! Hot to Trot is so cute (and cute is my kryptonite :doh: )

Oh no Bova! Welcome to the club.....but I wish you hadn't had to join. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. I am sure you don't feel hot to trot right now!
Beautiful bandana!
 

Wow -- that is a really cool pairing.

So beautiful on you, Anna! Congrats!

Thank you! I love this scarf so much. Straight up to my top 5 favorites for sure, thanks to @bunnycat!

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 DUST
Fantasy-themed scarves
Quite 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.

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 :lol:

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.

Oh fun! You have such a cool collection. I do know Zelazny and Chalker, but didn't know George MacDonald -- thank you for being so educational :smile:


Now those Fairytales a rare treasure -- thanks for sharing.


Ohhhh those are sooooo good. Why don't I have any?!!

Crossover with Amours and the fantasy winged cherubs and for your viewing pleasure- on the way to the vet yesterday for check up with baby Fiona and Art des Steppes (she got the all good...just recovering now from the respiratory infection)

Cool scarves, but what I really want to know is whether Fiona could fit into the pocket or your overalls :smile:)

You are so darned photogenic @AnnaE ! This scarf suits you perfectly.

Thank you for your kind words. It has nothing to do with me, I have a good photographer :smile: My selfies never turn out as well :smile:

Your writing is so inspirational. Need to go look for some fantasy creatures in my own scarves!

Heal well! Hoping it's just a simple fracture and will heal quickly. Lovely bandana.

I have the same problem... I need to figure out one of those self-reinforcing marine knots, as regular ones tend to untie on the jersey.
 
Ouch... Hope you feel better soon :heart::hugs:
love the necklace bandana :love:
Many thanks tlamdang, the necklace look is always good for me in the summer months.

Hope your foot heals soon! The white bandana makes this a fresh look!
Thank you so much scarf1, I have ended up liking the bandana format more than I had originally thought...the magic of H I guess!!

Your bandana is pretty, dear Bova! Feel better soon!
Thank you dear croisette, this is a really fun bandana!

Sending you hugs for quick healing, Bova! Hot to Trot is so cute (and cute is my kryptonite :doh: )
Thanks for your hugs xincinsin, and yes indeed this bandana is quite cute and fun to look at...perhaps you need one???
:graucho:

Tied beautifully!
Hope you heal quickly!
Many thanks Magjes!!

Beautiful bandana!
Not hot to trot at all I'm afraid :giggle: I hope you are healing quickly as well!! :hugs:

Nice scarf. I like the way it’s knotted. Sending healing vibes. ((((( :heart: )))))
Thank you so much Hermes Nuttynut...I can feel the vibes!! ;)

Thank you AnnaE...so far looks like a simple fracture...didn't help that it went undiagnosed for 3 weeks, especially as I was on vacation in your neck of the woods for a week, walking all around SFO, Alcatraz, Hearst Castle...not good for the healing process!!

I am not a doctor, but I have a theory that it is actually better to keep moving and stay active with fractures and it boosts the processes that aid healing. I have had multiple broken bones in lower extremities (sports injuries) and continued to work out carefully through all of them, avoiding the injured part. Each time the doctor said it was the quickest healing they had ever seen as per X-rays (different doctors, too). So hopefully, you moving around before diagnosis will help heal quickly!

(With soft tissue injuries though, I am staying at home and resting. Those are harder.)
