Gorgeous @scarf1, and it’s not even blue

Haha! Well spotted! Yes I have been wearing more pink this year!

 

[yuzulife]

It is nippy so today is Rocabar de Rire because it went with my very grey outfit. No fuss, no mess, and not on theme, but a lot of cbeerful fun all the same.

And to add my contribution to this week, with today’s SOTD, All Aboard! Steam engines are of course ‘science and stuff,’ but as a bonus the train driver is known as the “engineer!!!” (Might explain my confusion when Dad told me, “you should be an engineer.”)

Not sure who the designer on this scarf was, but clearly either (a) not familiar with how steam engines work, or (b) hates presents, because the fireman is clearly shoveling presents (from the tender - yep, that’s what it’s called!) into the engine to keep her fueled. Yikes!!!! 😬

Happy STEM week, fellow nerds!! 💕

These first two are so amazingly colorful, and the bandana is so cheerful!

Dropping in for a quick post today, will catch up with comments tomorrow. My SOTD is one that's already been shown but it's so lovely I hope you don't mind me showing it again. Space Derby:

Again loving the jewel tones here. This is radiant against your top.

Good morning!

The basis of natural history is classification and taxonomy. A system of ordering, making and understanding the world around us, and how everything is related.

Early classical, medieval and renaissance scolars made their own systems to classify and order their world, and depicted them in bestiariums and exhibited them in Cabinet of curiosities.

Virginie Jamin: Della Cavalleria Favolosa - designed as a mix of bestiarium and horse riding manual

Rosa Maria Unda Souki: Objects de Curiosite

View attachment 5932441

Swedish naturalist Carl Linné - or Linnaeus - introduced a system of ordering Life on Earth in the 18th century. He created a system of families and species and nomenclature for all plants and animals known to him. Every single species got its own name, consisting of a genus’ name and a species name -
like Homo sapiens (this picture is from the web)

Giraffa camelopardalis
View attachment 5932443
Or Meleagris gallopavo
View attachment 5932445
This naming required systematics, and not least the collecting, of specimens for decription, classification and creating order in the understanding of the world. Linné’s world was based on a religious understanding of creation and hiearachi of Nature. A Dawinian concept of nature based on evolution and gradual change during huge timespans, did not exist for another 100 years, but Linné’s naming system worked just as well in that Scientific paradigm, and continue to be the basis for natural history and the study of living nature.

There are so many scarves with abundance of nature, and also a few with taxonomic Logic in them. We have collections of butterflies, other insects, funghi and birds. And also botanical scarves directly referencing classification like Index Palmarium and Bromeliaceae and individual flower species.

And it was from breeding humble pea plants in his cloister garden that Gregor Mendel in the late 19th century discovered genetic inheritance, which gave support and renewed understanding of the mechanisms of evolution. Do we have any designs out there with peas or even DNA helixes on them?

And of course there are also designs with entire biotopes from equator to coral reels, deserts to jungles. Let us bring out the natural history and biodiversity of Our scarves!

wish you all a Day of Diversity!!

A very nice sub theme! I love that Index B, such fun colors on that.

Ooops. I forgot my sotd

Have a great Day.

Gorgeous! I was not familiar with this design.

Quick snap on the train for SOTD - La Vallee de Cristal worn with Chaine d'Ancre scarf ring. I realise now it's not the best combination with the top, but so be it.

This evening I'm attending a tunnelling lecture we're hosting at work, so the crystal cave is right on theme and I hope will gain me some kudos with the geologists in the room.

View attachment 5932519

Haha beautiful! Did it get you the expected kudos?

@HermesEchidna, I love, love your thorough, detailed, insightful, and enriching introductions on this week's theme. I thought I would have nothing to contribute as technology, engineering, and mathematics are foreign to me, but today's sub-theme, natural history, taxonomy, and biodiversity, are at the very center of my professional and personal life. I also very much enjoyed @EtsyBoss's display of primates on scarves (congratulations on your research and I bet we have a few acquaintances in common! ).

Presenting yesterday's special (as in special edition!) scarf mail and my SOTD, a biological inventory of Singapore. I also have the blue one which I thought would be a forever placeholder because I never imagined getting my hand on the SE (now need to rehome because of the "no multiples" rule). This appeared at the Singapore branch of a French auction house over the holidays, a "buy-now" (below current retail price!!!) item, which sounded like "buy immediately" to me! So happy!
View attachment 5932646

I do not have that many biodiversity scarves and I was trying to figure out why this morning. I think it is because I also opt for a more poetic, whimsical style, rather than a classic illustrative one. More Shirley than Dallet, more Pythéas than Shackleton (but I'd gladly accept both, thank you very much!). Below are my Bengal tiger, South African proteas, and various birds. I am sure we can identify the species by going through Jeff Fisher's book on birds, with scientific names and history.View attachment 5932647View attachment 5932658

Omg whaaaa???!! :whiplash: The SE??! CONGRATS!!! Show us more!

Coming in under the wire on the bio-diversity sub-theme of today! But just by coincidence I had recent scarf-friend mail so I am delighted to debut my new-to-me Fauna et Flore du Texas. I think the "turkey scarf" needs no introduction but here's its description: designed by Kermit Oliver, this scarf depicts the local flora and fauna of Texas. In the middle of the scarf is a large turkey surrounded in a circle by cactus leaves with animals interspersed. In each corner is a small circle, like a stylized nest, with different animals seen in their natural habits. (National Museum of African American Art and Culture). A very gobbledy thanks to @Snausages for serving this up to me... Plus this turkey dinner comes with a side of local bio-diversity: two deer imitating lawn statues in our front yard in early morning, wetlands and bay right behind them...

Gorgeous in black and green Pirula!

This scarf captures the essence of STEM's precise movements and infuses them with cheerfulness. It's a symbol of the magical fusion between creativity and knowledge, just like the alternator's conversion of mechanical energy into electrical power.

Hello Scarflandia!
I'm hopelessly behind, on 37th page...
However, as it happens, I was wearing yesterday one of my only 2 scarves that fit this week's theme - Astrologie Nouvelle Maxi Twilly (design based on a calendar with astrological signs). So, I can at least share it - here it is:

Have a lovely Friday, everyone!

Fantastic paired with red! It picks up the bright coral pops on the scarf.

Another cw of Hemispharium Coeli Boreale & another story of nerd scientist meets nerd engineer et voila - C'est L'Amour. Future DH & I are working for the summer in a Gov't lab. A group of summer students join up & take a road trip in 2 cars - one of which is DH's. The road trip involves a car ferry where people have to vacate their cars for the duration of the voyage. DH & I are on deck looking at a clear sky with brilliant stars - AND - DH knows the constellations! Nerd engineer is enraptured with his knowledge. So much so that the ferry docks & we are late returning to the cars. Folks in DH's car are impatiently waiting on the car deck for DH to return & unlock his vehicle....sheepish smiles from the 2 of us...

Happy STEM week, fellow nerds!! 💕

Scarf mail from me today. I had a great review with my manager this morning - I'm only three months into the job so was really pleased with that. Then had an intense strategy meeting for the rest of the day. So I decided I should make an ad hoc trip to Hermès as a reward!

Fortunately my lovely SA was working, so we had a catch up and I came away with a new 90 - Splash Park in the blanc/mauve/multicolore colourway. This design is the epitome of fun, and there's another cute sea creature everywhere you look. I love it!

Hello twin!

a mix of bestiarium and horse riding manual

Oh god, I’m dying… 😂. Only here would that be a thing!

Do we have any designs out there with peas or even DNA helixes on them?

Fun tidbit: I remember reading that Mendel’s results are generally regarded as too perfect to have occurred as recorded, and that - while he was correct in his hypothesis - he did a little ‘fudging’ of the data to make it a perfect correlation. Thus making him the unintentional hero of frustrated biology students everywhere (biological experiments never quite do what they are supposed to!)

And for the DNA helices, while I don’t have it with me to confirm, I am pretty sure this discovery is captured and commemorated as one of the vignettes in Laboratoires du Temps 🧬

Yes it is, and has the price tag to show for it! 🙈😂

Oh, you hit that slippery slope hard @violetkool Now you just need a CSGM to cushion your landing

I have such a soft spot for this design. And perfumery of course is as much Chemistry as art.

Another unexpected grail mousseline fell onto my shoulders when surfing for another design this one popped up on my radar. One of the few times that eBay’s algorithms worked! En fil H etoile was advertised in 2010. Who would have guessed I would find a new never worn with new tags intact and with crystal beads sewn on?

I find the geometric linear detailing a work of precise engineering and speaks to the architectural modernist soul in me

this is so perfect on you @lanit, it looks like it was always yours. Meant to be.

Good day, dear Scarfies. I have been off the thread for personal reasons so I am a good deal behind. I don’t know I can catch up but I will try! As many here did, I saw the “Fashioned by Sargent” exhibit on its final weekend last week and it did not disappoint. It was spectacular. It was also warm, both inside the packed museum and outside. So I did not wear a CS as I had planned. Instead I donned my blue Aran knit sweater and a silk and was fine on our mile-long walk from our hotel to the MFA. I am so glad I had no CS to worry about in the heat and crowds.
View attachment 5932618
Objets de Curiosites is not only a meta scarf, it is also geometrically arranged. I felt very festive in the museum wearing it, and as I am only posting it now, I am on theme.
View attachment 5932619

Perfect meta scarf, and delightful on you, @Karenska. I’m sure the Sargent exhibit was worth braving the cold for!

My first scarf mail of 2024 has arrived and it is certainly a fun design.

View attachment 5928605

This is Kawa Ora in my favorite colorway. This design was still on h.com when I began collecting, but the colors were fairly picked over so I passed at that time. Delighted to find it now. I must like these colors, because they are the same as my Le Carnaval de Venise that I wore earlier in the week.

First off, what a beautiful and cheerful scarf! This design reminds me of porcelain.

Good morning!!!
A Lesson in scarf Logic. When it is cold, wear yellow scarves?! - well because my cosy cardigan is mustard, and I suddenly realised that I reached much more for my few yellow/mustard/brown scarves than usual.
So a perfect excuse for airing the squirrels. I Think I have at least three scarves ‘because squirrels’. They make me happy!
And also a happy Friday to you all!

Thank you @piperdog @Living.la.vida.fifi @Croisette7 @Nomad @LKBNOLA @HermesEchidna @Karenska @GloWW0rM @AnnaE for the compliments on my last few scarves/shawls!!!

As others have said…a stunner with the blazer. Scarf is so beautiful!

An amazing bold cw! Showing the strength of NO to fight back against the damage from Katrina

Oooo these colors are chefs kiss on you. WOW!

Mind blown. Thank you!

As others have said..brilliant on the striped top! Inspiring. This is one of the many reasons why I love this thread. Get so inspired

It TOTALLY works! Gorg

Hope you feel better soon. It’s tough out there this winter. So many sick. And you are so clever!

No more late night indeed haha. And beautiful scarves

Love the entire look! Perfection! I realized something on my last boutique trip. I can NOT follow in some of your amazing colors. I wlll have to just be smitten seeing these looks on you . But so glad I can steal some colors from your wheelhouse

Aw well I am not sure I can follow in some of your amazing colors either. I totally bought the pink Animapolis bc of your pics but I am not feeling confident in it… might be too vif for me.

Wooooah, this is a showstopper. I love it especially with the teal top. Congratulations. You’re on a roll!

Thank you! Well I’ve had a good Jan thus far, but for reals am about to go on a ban so it’s coming to an abrupt end in not too much longer.

Seems like most kiddos start off loving trains, planes and dinosaurs. I never outgrew my love of dinosaurs

And I sincerely hope you never do!

Here are 2 scarfs that fit the STEM theme: From the Mens Collex - the 1st is Memoire Vive. This scarf represents a circuit board with the carriage & driver illustrated with dots. This scarf is silk & cotton blend, which although it creases easily is very comfortable to wear. Pls excuse selfies as I have just started to do them, my phone is cheap (really only for emergencies) & am crap at selfies. Sorry I couldn't find a flat photo off the internet - the scarf would be a welcome addition for an IT professional or an electrical engineer (male or female )
Memoire Vive
View attachment 5932771
Here is Des Chevaux Sous Le Capot, which according to Dr. Google translates as "Horses Under the Hood". It is full of mechanical gears & such. It is one of my favourite CSGMs and is atypical for the mens cashmere/silk as it is a 140 carre.

So beautiful @Croisette7. A fabulous scarf in my favorite colorway - it looks fabulous on you.

For today’s theme offering I’m going with Carnival des Animaux… hear me out.

The story behind the scarf is that its inspired by Camille Saint-Saens’ musical score, but I can’t look at it without thinking of The Lion King and the iconic Circle of Life opening sequence.

Scarf:
View attachment 5931626

Lion King:
View attachment 5931627

A movie is of course typically more of an example of art than science, but The Lion King was a technical achievement as well, using computers to support the animation in ways that previously had not been employed before. STEM skills were certainly involved in creating the masterful stampede scene. Apparently a few distinct wildebeasts were designed using a 3D program, and then multiplied into hundreds, manipulated to look like animation using cel shading, and sent down the mountain using randomized paths. All in all the 2.5 minute sequence took two years to create!

View attachment 5931631

Well done @Jereni! I'm so impressed with your creativity, and I LOVE your sweet little tiger. Your Carnival des Animaux is beautiful and looks fabulous with your camel coat.

My SOTD can definitely fit within the STEM theme!
Claudia Stuhlhofer-Maier constructed her design [Tohu Bohu] on the principle of the mandala – a geometric diagram used for meditation and invoking the gods. Its colours and concentric circles symbolize the structure of the universe. This scarf is a mandala for the god, Hermés. (from Hermes story)
Mandalas are also rich in mathematics: they employ circle geometry and other geometric theories and the tools of geometry (protractors and compasses) are used in their design and construction. But @HermesEchidna also challenged us today to think of the "ologists". Hmmm. I put on my thinking cap and made the connection that a mandala is also a game (my kids loved it and it is still in the game cupboard here) and what do we call those who study game theory? Ludologists! Yes, Scarflandia, there is a word: Game studies, also known as ludology is the study of games, the act of playing them, and the players and cultures surrounding them. (wikipedia) So perhaps we also can be called Hermesologists as we expand our knowledge through fun and games as we study our scarves?
View attachment 5931633View attachment 5931641

Gorgeous scarf @LKBNOLA, one I hope to own someday. I almost fell out of my chair giggling over Hermesologists. Perfection! I say we all get an honorary degree!

As a small child I loved to hunt for pretty rocks in the gravel at my local playground. In amongst the bits of granite I would sometimes find some smoky or rose quartz for my small rock collection. Years later we took our children on vacation to the Black Hills of South Dakota. During our visit the rural B&B where we were staying got a new load of gravel put on the driveway, and wow, did it sparkle! Closer investigation revealed rocks with sheets of mica in the gravel. This soft, translucent, shimmery mineral is often used in cosmetics to give a bit of sparkle to your lipstick or face powder. We collected a few nice mica specimens for the kids' rock collections.

I did not go into mineralogy as an adult, but I still love pretty stones. Even today I sometimes find agates along the shores of local lakes. I'm wearing Mineraux today, along with an amethyst pendant, which is a favorite among my quartz jewelry,

View attachment 5931649

Lovely Mineraux @Redbirdhermes, I love the bright colorway, especially with your top.

A so so short post. As You all say…finally! 🤣. It would be much shorter without the science tie to theme .

Appaloosa. A go-to of mine. A horse scarf ( like this gorgeous breed) will sometimes remind me of humans involvement in the reproduction of horse breeds, and our need and business practice to carry a horse’s pedigree through its progeny.
A veterinary reproductive specialist, is also called a theriogenologist ( thanks internet)
