Botticelli's Venus Scarf

(Art Scarves)

Botticelli's Venus Scarf This art scarf is knitted in two pieces and then grafted together in the middle where I then knitted two rufffles which look like a lovely flower. The knitted shells on either end of this scarf represent the shell Venus is standing on in Botticelli's painting circa 1480. I knitted this scarf with a lovely, pink silk yarn that is so soft to the touch & wonderful around one's neck on a summer day or evening. Enjoy!

This art scarf again represents Botticelli's painting of Venus rising. Knitted in two sections & then grafted togther with the kitchner stitch at the center & a lovely ruffled flower knitted with soft denim yarn & the blue ribbon novelty yarn. A fun scarf for anytime. The flower may be worn in the front or to the side. The seashells can be knitted to any size. Enjoy this fun scarf with so many wearable possibilities.

Botticelli's Venus Scarf (Dusty Rose)

Botticelli's Venus Scarf (Dusty Rose)

This scarf pattern is so versatile & the lovely blossom (flower) I knit after grafting the two scarf pieces at the center adds to the Botticelli Venus look because in his painting he has her hair wrapping around her neck and body. This is a lovely dusty rose yarn held with a ribbon yarn for added color. The seashell motif is fun to knit & the shells can be made any size. A lightweight, fun, anytime scarf. Enjoy!

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
