Its done ! The scarf of longing and branches and texture is finished. (You may need to backtrack to this post to understand)
The fabrics are a mix of bought from pipijoe, donated by Kirsty (Thank you) and stuff from the stash.
I love the gocco pieces. I retyped part of the Scarf blog post and translated it to French and then gocco'ed the text onto some wool, satin and other general shiny fabrics as well as some velvets.
I foundation pieced it together and then backed it with some soft black velveteen.
I actually made two of these at the same time, one I am going to keep and it will debut at work tomorrow and the other one will be in the next shop update.
Now which one to keep...Johnny? oh Johnny? Could you possibly come over and just drape these around your neck? pardon? You think they might look better against bare skin?
Do I mind if you take off your shirt?
Of course not dear, Whatever makes you comfortable .......
Hi Jodie,
ReplyDeleteIf Johnnie's on his way over, can I come too??? Please??
I love the scarf. The colours are just so "Winter". It's great!!
Dreaming of Johnnie too, Kathryn.
The scarves look wonderful Jodie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, and leaving such a nice comment. I really appreciate it. I always read your blog. I love seeing all of your projects.

that is BEAUTIFUL!! and i love the combination of fabrics, especially the gocco you did, just wonderful : )
ReplyDeleteWonderful scarf! I'm sure Johnny will like it :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! The little piece of ruched red? It made me squeal. Just a little (don't want to embarass myself here...)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Its gorgeous. It all looks so good. The colour, texture and print, great combo.
ReplyDeleteOh, the colours. The moodiness, the bleakness, the richness. The little ruched maroon bit (as previously mentioned) which is my favourite bit.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you ask Johnny if he doesn't mind doing a Ric Rac photo spread.....I'm sure he won't... do you need someone to hold the flash?
Ooooo! There's an idea. A Johnny photospread! You could syndicate it as a specialist craft blog three page spread!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be taking a photo of Johnny in the scarf - for blog purposes. It's just that we need to see it being modelled. Nothing gratuitous, honest.
ReplyDeleteIsh.

That is a beautiful scarf. I would love to see it hanging around Johnny's neck, but if he is too shy to be photographed, maybe a shot of someone else wearing it?
ReplyDeleteGreetings, M
Gorgeous scarf - love the mix of colours and textures. Now I can't get the image of Johnny out of my mind....
ReplyDeleteJohnny or no Johnny, those scarves are gorgeous...but why is my pulse quickening over two scarves,they are very special,but you had to paint the picture. Can he also read the French bits with an accent? Now thats longing!(the french bits are genius by the way)
ReplyDeleteShop update. Shop update?! I am going to be all on edge now checking your shop!
ReplyDeleteX
Glad to see it finished Jodie. Look forward to seeing it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is lovely and SO IS HE (sigh), he;s magically delicious! By ALL means let Johnny be comfortable ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice..........as always an inspiration to us lazy folk.
ReplyDeleteWow - how gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful colour combination. Its a lovely scarf, Jodie.
ReplyDeleteIt really is fabulous. Love the printed bits especially.
ReplyDeleteoh so sorry Johnny is much too busy with me to stop by...at least in my dreams he is! Although if you do get him to come over and try on these lovely scarves on his bare skin you must post photos!
ReplyDeleteohhhh check this out....

Fab scarves Jodie! But I wish I could click on the pics to look closer!!! Lucy xx
ReplyDeleteP.S. You do realise you have made me NEED a gocco printer now don't you?
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHOw did your quilting go?
Laughing so much Jodie! Really cute ... but remember its school holidays so you will have to sneak Johnny home..haha
ReplyDeleteThat's so gorgeous!!! Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteUmm...if I buy the Etsy scarf, do I get Johnny with it??
ReplyDeleteOoh Jodie - your scarf is gorgeous and, thanks to you, I now keep drifting off into a very visual daydream of Johnny standing bare-chested before me....sigh......
ReplyDelete(This, by the way, is not a problem and I am happy to have those sort of daydreams...all day!)
xxxx
The scarf is just gorgeous - I can see what you meant about johnny depp now - you're not as crazy as i thought! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI'll come over too, if Johnny's going to be there! hehe....Love the scarf
ReplyDeleteoooh, you are so clever. That is a fancy fancy super duper scarf1
ReplyDeleteI've told Johnny to get his arse out of my bed (he smokes roll ups in my bed, it's quite disgusting) and get himself over to yours. When you're done with him send him back. He's told me he loves me more than Vanessa Paradis and that I am far prettier, therefore I am willing to share him....especially with you.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteSaludos desde Barcelona
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteSaludos desde Barcelona
Wow, this turned out so well.But then I must admit I expected no less than something this beautiful. Just a teensy bit disappointed about the lack of 'modeling' shots. I was half wondering if you would photoshop the scarf onto Johnny...hehehe, and then you could also photoshop yourself into the picture next to him, looking aloof while he gazes adoringly at you...
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I love most,the scarf or the way you tell your stories about it!I think I told you this before,but you are sooo good with words and writing and you are funny too so if you've made enought scarves and other pretty things you can always become a writer!hugs Dees
ReplyDeleteI do agree with dees, your gift of word and wit, you just gotta think about a writing jig. You have a world of blog readers that would push you right up the best sellers list.
ReplyDeleteShop update...EEEEKKKK!!! Yeah!!!
Stun us all with loaded shelves of all your crafty goodness.
Another cool scarf...how many necks do you have...wait, don't answer that, we are on the net!!
ReplyDeleteYou can artfully drape this one over the selvedge one for identification next time you meet strangers at fairs!!! Wont want to be 40 degrees again though!
Hope you are planning a restful break...love Tracey
Those scarves are so gorgeous... Now I have to go to bed with the thoughts of Johnny Depp in my mind... Do you love your gocco or just fiddle around with it when inspiration strikes?? It looks great.
ReplyDeleteooooh Jodie - those are so Johnny in a frock coat...you did it...well done!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the combinations of fabrics and colours...and I have to confess that I dont know what a 'gocco' is...so will 'google' it now to become more educated!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
oh. my.
ReplyDeleteyou are on a roll, girl!
this is incredibly beautiful.
