Serenity Collar Scarfette (and Giveaway Update)

        Lately I've been wishing  that I could make one item a day and not work on a design for 2 weeks - so minimal items seemed like a good idea. I see so many simple simply square scarves on Etsy, but can I ? I tried and started with that in mind - but complicating is what I do! Fortunatelly, as I got to work on it for a few hours over 2 days I didn't get enough time to change the route for more than... 5-6 times? No wonder a top takes 2 weeks! 

        But ... there are so many ideas, it's like no matter which you pick, you find yourself at the new crossroads soon. I can't use them all in one item and though I think I'm saving them for later, I know that "later" the same thing occurs and the choices multiply... That's in one of the "good days" I assume. "Bad days" means linear decisions that feel like dead ends. And there are no in-betweens. "Good days" means I might actually get something done. 

        Avoiding overdesigning is also a challenge. Everything is anyways a little challenge when you do it for the first time. And I don't like to repeat myself. Only as much as necessary to learn one thing right. But you never know, I might just turn into an enthusiasted lil robot;)

        The cloth for the collar in pinkish purple is cotton silk with double reflexes. The chiffon I used for the ruffles and the bow is golden with purple reflexes - I feel like some Alice in some Wonderland just by watching the light play on these! Can't understand why they make these types of cloth in one plain colour too:)

        I love its dreamy fluffy elegance. I plan to work more on accesories. 

• Coz they are projects I can finish quicklier; 
• coz they are microuniverses; 
• (coz I've been neglecting them?) 
• coz you can reherse in them elements and techiques that you can transplant to larger outfits. 
• On top of all that, like it wasn't enough, you can use your scraps! Or make new ones! Or both!:))

Giveaway-wise (:D) I promised a new bread crumb with every post. Thank you all for the submissions so far, I hope it's fun for everyone:D Can't reduce these talented ladies to a 2 line rhyme no way! Don't miss Oona's rhyme, one of my favs:)

"spring is sprung
but not for long
soon summer comes
when days grow long
then new york men
who need to chill
whistle at women
to get their fill"

And Deepa can sound  so convincing:

"I love the spring,
For the flowers it brings,
I laugh and I dream,
While I lick an Ice Cream,
Slurp,slurp,Yum,yum!!
I have an evil grin,
coz I think I'll win,
If I do not,
It'll break my heart,
So,please,please
Make me say cheese!! "
