Charlotte Buch Workshop - circle scarves

In a previous post I mentioned attending a Charlotte Buch workshop and completing a nuno felted dress.  Charlotte also showed us garments adorned with concentrated cirlces and how to make a scarf from a square piece of fabric with a round hole in the middle.  I have put the two ideas together to make the scarves below.


 












The blue scarf is dyed cotton gauze with circle rings of alpaca fleece.  The pink scarf is dyed tissue silk with circle rings of alpaca combined with solid alpaca circles which have been raised to make large buttons on opposite corners.   I randomly fill the occasional circle with silk to give a sparkle.

The scarf can be folded in various ways to achieve different effects - either triangular or square over the shoulders
In another experiment with the square, I used bright coloured sheep wool on white muslin and the result had a real 70s feel.
