About once a year I paint an experimental, trial scarf for myself, then tweak the design and when I’m satisfied paint a very similar more refined version for the shop.
Not long ago I reviewed my stock and assessed the different colours available. I realised recently I have been mostly working with blues, turquoise and pinks. On my shop there’s also scarves in pink and green, soft green and gold, but no strong green.
Last time I did this ‘one for me (prototype) and one for the shop’ I was working with strong, vivid reds. This time I thought I would use the same approach to work with some zestful, bright greens.
Of course, sometimes there’s a fashion for a certain colour and I notice green has become popular of late. Now, this bright green is quite a change for me and for a first experiment it was always going to be working with my smallest scarf size.
Also this small ‘neckerchief’ size is a personal favourite as it can be worn to add a small accent splash of colour, especially when it is such a zingy colour.
Finally, both green scarves were finished and steamed and now one is on the shop and I am wearing the ‘trial’ one as I type this post!

It’s so interesting to follow the detail of how you create your work, such wonderful colours you use too.
Thank you. This is a lovely green and it is one of those colours that changes significantly in sunlight becoming more rich. I think it is the yellow component in the dye.
I really like these. The color is strong and so fresh. And I agree, the dark blue gives the contrast that makes the green even more intense. I like this direction a lot.
Thank you. Yes, this direction is interesting and definitely a new one for me. I use a fair amount of bright blue, but for some reason hadn’t risked the bright green before although one wall in my office is painted a very strong green!
I like it a lot. Very fresh and vibrant. I’d be very pleased if bright green will be making it to the fashion stakes this year.
I have just been looking down my Pinterest feed. I mostly follow fashion and scarves to keep up with what’s going on and I see several of the big Paris fashion houses have some bright green going on.
Definitely worth working with, this green. I love its zing.
I am a fan of this zing too, although I don’t think I could carry off a whole assemble. However, I will let you into a little secret I do have some Cat boots (not steelies) pretty much this green!
Wow! Life and soul of the party!
Not these days, and also so unobservant that I failed to notice a sneaky autocorrect of my sloppy typing of ensemble to assemble in my last reply to you. 🙄
