Fabulous intro and thank you for the ‘prompts‘ (ideas) because I need them!Good morning Scarflandia!
Thank You to @bunnycat for hosting the ‘chaos week’ of funny and happy scarves and to all of you for sharing your lovely scarves. It is an uplifting way to begin the new year!
This is my first time hosting a theme, so please bear with me and forgive any ommissions or mistakes of tpr functionality and content. Also I do this on my phone, so spelling mistakes and auto”correct” might occur. Also I tend to write too long…
One of the ‘excuses’/reasons I give myself for indulging in collecting scarves is the potential relevance and meaning of their motives. Having worked and studied cross-dicipline of natural science and history my entire Life, especially scarves with such mixed content intrigues me, and I hope you will join me in exploring that this week.
Finding narratives or traces of STEM - science, technology, engenering and mathematics - in Hermes scarves is easy, especially if the subject it widened to it’s full extent - the entire range of Scientific fields and the historic development of human Endeavour to understand and shape the world.
I will try to present a bouquet of examples this week with a new angle each day, but as my collection does definetely not hold all the great manifestations of stem scarves which exist I look so much forward to see and enjoy all your contribution.
And please, please remember that all sotds are welcome - in Scarflandia everything is on topic because scarves IS the topic. Themes are just the sprinkle on the icing.
I want to begin the week with an assortment of examples. And I start in the now of modern tech, with the computer game inspired Super Silk Quest by Elias Kofouros.

Other designs inspired by digital tech and computers is The Game by the same designer , and we also find some bears (or Apes?) with a gameboy on Nothing but a Dreamer by Mayliss Vigouroux.

Another direct use of tech equipment in scarves is the x-ray image of Please Check in, by Dimitri Rybaltchenko And there are several other designs related to photo and film technology like Photo Fisnish and Sequences. Please let us see these, and other examples!

Nothing but a Dreamer also feature whales. Whales were hunted to near extinction in the 16-19th centuries for their blubber and oil to be used for especially fuel for lamps. The Discovery of how to use gas and electricity instead fortunately relieved the stress on whales, but changed a lot more! No doubt the electric and digital revolution has altered our lifes and the State of the Planet in general to extent we do probably not yet understand. But it has also literally enlightened us. Let me see scarves of lightbulbs, neon, lampposts, sparks and beams - all the modern Electric stuff, while I myself stay Old School with more whales and some Lanterns.

Preparing for the week, I did not have much luck in finding good examples of maths in my own collection - expect for the eternal counting of scarves, and ignoring the costs- but I know they must be there so please also give us some of your creative examples of Math as well to fire up the week.
My only slightly mathematical scarf is Les Douze Leopards (also know as the Double Leopardy - so in fact there are 2 x 12 = 24 leopards) - which even feature an abacus for us to check our calculations on!

What an extraordinary cw of Animapolis! Perfect for you.If you need me, I'll be hiding under my Cosmographia for the next 4 days.

Gorgeous addition to your already stunning Animapolis family!
This is stunning!
This is lovely and as so many others have said, you are blessed to have your (skilled) grandmother in your life and sharing her talent with you @Jacq1! I remember my own so fondly-- and alsways with some needlework in her hands...
There are many many beautiful Marwaris @Awillow-- when the timing is right... I just love the gentleness of the horses faces and their beautiful eyes. Of course their costumes are gorgeous and provide the artist with so much to work with!
Your Beloved India is so bright and cheerful @LKBNOLA and looks just lovely on you. I especially love the green border - it really makes the pinks and reds pop! So pretty!
Thank you @MabelJo! I have the LE Katrina issue (twins with @Redbirdhermes) but I wanted one with the misspelling of Lil Hardin's name and more color options! And Beloved India is a perennial love of mine...
You really rock these beautiful deep emerald colors LKB. When (if ever) the little Cheval Punk men's bandana comes out, I believe there is a green colorway with your name on it.
Your weatherman has quite a sense of humor but you look beautiful and ready to stand up to anything @bunnycat! (and thank you for the Cheval Punk enablementIf you need me, I'll be hiding under my Cosmographia for the next 4 days.

It sounds like Mr MabelJo needs a "lesson" in the scarf apology vault concept....It's waaaayyyyy better than flowers.
No! (It was my own fault because my back was turned from him while I was raking leaves. ) But it did warrant a phone call....Then Snickers was determined NOT to be outdone. She tried 2 times to climb it and but I grabbed her harness just in time. That was 3 strikes, everyone is in time out and had to go inside.
He was not the least bit remorseful...

Needs to be a Scarf Bingo category @bunnycat! Amirite @Lellabelle? And oh, my. Pickles and Snickers need their own Adventure Book series...OMG: first the scarf gift vault, now the scarf apology bonus. With MrBelle’s straight talk, he would be in a lot of trouble…
Thank you @AnnaE and @Maedi-- I honestly believe it is the light-- or the angle of the light. The whole city seems awash in it...even with a hard freeze approaching!
@ninakt-- a shared scarf drawer is a good idea but tell him to be careful wearing a scarf on a motorbike!Congratulations @Foxy trini --- it is a beauty!
Thank you both @Jereni and @Cookiefiend. The colors here in NOLA right now are purple, green and gold for Mardi Gras so my few in these colors are in heavy rotation!
Thank you dear @Croisette7-- it is a perfect green and gold Marwari for Mardi Gras season! Your blue Turqueries is wonderful (as are your lovely birds!) and this Huile Parfumee could not be more darling and perfectly matched with your windowpane check jacket and charming brooch.
Congratulations on a beautiful introduction @HermesEchidna and so beautifully illustrated with your lovely collection! I am ready now to explore my scarves in search of every possible scrap of STEM references! Finding the abacus on 12 Leopards (not to mention doing the cat math!) was truly inspired. I think this is going to be a great week and I feel we are going to have a loty of fun with you at the helm of the theme.Good morning Scarflandia!

Happy Sunday, Scarflandia! Huge thanks to @bunnycat for leading us through Fun Week while chasing cats, climbing trees and preparing for an arctic blast of weather! Always done with inimitable style and humor too. I was in the perfect place to end this week because "cheerful chaos" is the most fun and kind way to describe New Orleans-- "the city that care forgot" (a lot of other more essential things forgot it too but that shall remain unmentioned for the moment).
Thanks also to @HermesEchidna for leading us into STEMtation this week. By serendipity I am on theme with my SOYD. I wore Petit Duc to an annual January tradition of High Tea at the Windsor Court Hotel. Petit Duc is the carriage of our beloved Hermes and the scarf's full title is "Projet de Voiture Petit-duc Bateau" featuring a carriage anatomy graphic, handwritten text, lined background and other plans for its design.
And some random thumbnail photos for local color, including my new custom-made fascinator for Mardi Gras!
