“The song escaped the vials to soar unchecked.
As the moon changed a thousand phases, those blasted vials became a part of us.
And the song followed, a demanding and errant charge.”
It is Animapolis by Jan Bajtlik. He created a fabulous fun scarf with 40! colors in some cw’s, and lots of whimsical animals, people and mythical creatures taking over big cities on the scarf. His dog Kluska features I think 16 times in this scarf. I had to hunt for her and did ended up finding her. I bought 3 cw’s, one of my favs of all time, and it is still the most complimented H scarf I wear. HTH. PS I might get out all 3 and do a quick side by side photo after WAY more coffee

Mod shots, please
The ”nose” is funny and needed at this time
It’ll have to be a bit later, but I’ll get it done. I’m in the midst of cleaning my old saddle (saddle soaping & cleaning the silver). I don’t remember it being this much work or this messy....but I was about 14 and everything was much easier then! This may be why there aren’t many 70 year old cowgirls out there. I gearing up to go get linseed oil. The leather is drier than my skin.
I also have to change the elastic as this mask came with elastic that’s way too tight. But I will get it done....
You’re right. What I thought would be simple isn’t. I just tried to replace the elastic pieces with two that are longer and realized that I’m going to need to put a couple of pleats in it. I’m going to use the nose patterned mask as a template.
I ordered quite a few different masks some time ago and didn’t think they were going to arrive as my c.c. only had pending charges against it. Now that’s changed. They’re arriving and I’m realizing how many different ‘fits’ there are. My Johnny Was order from two months ago arrived today and now I’m reluctant to try them on. I’m pretty sure we’ll be wearing masks for awhile so I’m going to try to alter the ones that are tight. I’ve learned that I have a big head.....

On wider elastic bands (1/4”+) I use seam rippers to break the elastic “thread” in a few random places so that it loosens up. It tends to pucker a bit but helps a lot - quick and dirty, lazy method.You’re right. What I thought would be simple isn’t.

I already took the elastic bands out. I have some narrow elastic that I can use on this one. I have more coming that will probably need adjusting and I’ll try your trick then....thanks! I got spoiled because several people made and gifted me masks and those fit. It never really occurred to me that I would Purchase ones that didn’t.....
I’ve a hectic first part of the workweek so I’m going dark until probably the latter part of the week.
In the meantime, these kids...
...are heading off to distant shores...
...and hopefully not get caught up with cosmic warlords or charismatic sand dollars along the way.

That is a great idea! No one sees the elastic behind your ears anyway! Thank you!
Fantastic. Truly. thank you so much for taking the time to make these vignettes! I love them. ❤️
