Gwendolyn in a Granny dress, and flowers

Here's my favorite Los Angeles singer/songwriter, Gwendolyn, backstage at the Bootleg Bar where she was performing with her country/western band. This scarf I made from a floral corduroy that's probably from the 70s matches quite well with Gwendolyn's 70s granny dress. Do you watch the show Weeds? Gwendolyn makes some of the music for that show. If you like it, check out her latest album, Bright Light. And you too can have a scarf like Gwendolyn's. I will be posting soon about which craft shows The Scarf Moment will be selling at.

Another Shade of Grey

For the 2012 season I've made some monochromatic scarves, which is a change of pace for the Scarf Moment. I usually look for prints and stripes and plaids. I found a few yards of this very fine silk with a windowpane jacquard pattern in a shade of grey that perfectly matched some vintage cotton velvet (velveteen, for those of you who are into fabric technicalities) from my collection. Omar is modeling this scarf, that will look as good on a woman as it does on this man.

Maybe Marimekko, for 2012

The Scarf Moment has been busy making scarves all summer, gearing up for the 2012 holiday season. Here's one of the new scarves, modeled by lovely webdesigner Alison of semidivine.com. The scarf is made from a vintage grey and white cotton fabric that might be by Marimekko. It certainly has that Marimekko look, with checks in a print that looks like it was based on a handpainted design. The reverse of this scarf is soft black corduroy.

Guest blogger Rick, and a colorful striped scarf!

My friend Rick is not only good-looking, he's a professional writer too. I'm not bad looking but I can't say I'm a great writer so I asked Rick, who is this post's model, to write his own copy:

Greetings fellow scarf-wearers!

My name is Rick Galiher. And I make an effort to try something new everyday. I normally wear grey and other faded colors to blend in, but my buddy Charles convinced me to try sporting his spiffy, striped scarf that is almost as colorful as my life. 

Just in this year I have: 

-Received a Best Actor trophy for my portrayal of Dracula

-Dressed as the Easter Bunny and hiked up Runyon Canyon with my dog, Henry

-Interviewed and promoted Angelyne The Billboard Queen for 3 months

-Collected more low-brow artwork than at any point in my life

-Commissioned artists for the first time

-Co-curated an art show at Copro Gallery that will open on December 10th, my 38th birthday

-Written a line of greetings cards and postcards available in December

-Worked as an advertising copywriter

-Gone on my now-yearly 2 week eating binge at the best LA restaurants with my mother

-Begun work on my first screenplay

-Purchased a handmade scarf that has brightened my whole outlook on life

Oh, and by the way, the scarf is made of striped cotton on one side and purple raw silk on the other.

Sally Go 'round the Roses

The Jaynetts had a hit in in 1963 called Sally Go 'round the Roses. But here we have the roses going 'round Sally. Our model Sally is wearing a new scarf made from vintage fabric that might possibly be from the era of the Jaynetts hit song: roses in many colors on a green background, in this case with red silk on the reverse. I also made some with green silk on the back. Sally works at Svenska Mobler, where the Scarf Moment had a trunk show last year.
