Tuesday’s Darlene scarf was: Autumn Koi

Rosemary

The internet was down at work, due to the snowstorm mayhem still in effect in Connecticut, so I couldn’t post this until I got home today.

I think Autumn because of the orange edging...

It’s become traditional that I take these pictures when actually at the DayJob, as proof that I wore the scarf to work.

My work computer was also non-fuctional due to being blown out when they hooked up the huge emergency generator. It happened to my boss’ computer, too. So between partial power, partial computers, no phones (we do Voice Over IP, so no internet means no phones), the place was a zoo. I postponed my weekly discussion with the Boss…

It’s a shame, because the scarves with complex images inspire me more! More power! So, I hated to waste Autumn Koi.

The fish have raised edges, like the leaves in the Forest at Midnight. I spoke to Darlene once and mentioned how much I admired the technique, and she told me that it was an accident! The raised edges were not supposed to remain, in the original concept. But I think they look great. These edges are silver, instead of the Forest’s gold.

Dated and signed in gold.

I needed all the serenity I could get today.

I'll use this one again soon.
