Neapolitan Ripple Throw / Blanket - pure cotton

NEAPOLITAN RIPPLE THROW
 
A fun version of a popular classic 
Who could not love a classic  ripple of ice cream colours for the summer?
Made to reflect your favourite fruit ice creams/sorbets of the summer - peach, with raspberries, blueberries, mints, oranges and yellows
The ends cunningly disguised as neat small bows along the edge
Now finished with two-tone tassels on the corners
 
 
In my version the classic ripple has a neat striped border with a lacet row to lighten the throw to make it less heavy and perfect for a summer's cool nights  
In pure soft cotton .............
 
This is ready for the
Summer Exhibition
at
OFF-PAT STUDIO
Felixstowe
Preview day SUNDAY MAY 31st 2015
 
 

Mardi-Gras and Sand-Dollar Scarf or Shawl - pure cotton


LOLLIPOP SCARVES

"MARDI-GRAS"
One of my gull-wing style scarves - which has the advantage of fitting well and not sliding off your shoulders!
The curved inner edge fits well around the neck and on the shoulders.
This one has fun 'lollipop edges' and used over 20 colours pastels to brights! 
So its sure to match everything on your Summer wardrobe
The hanging lollipop tassels add movement and fun when you wear it
In pure soft cotton DK
A friend has now bought this :-)
So gone to a good home!

"SAND DOLLARS"
I had so much fun doing the brightly coloured one I decided to make another in monochromes again in pure soft cotton DK 
This one used over 10 colours of sand and earth tones
 
All in the colours of sands hence this one is called
"Sand Dollars"
This is for the upcoming exhibition
"Flotsam & Jetsom"

Dragon Tail - variation
This Dragon Tail has equal tails although made from one end to the next
Wider in the middle with a gradual taper to each end - still with a stepped- Dragon's tooth outer edge and curved inner edge - this is achieved by changing the formula to still allow the curved inner  edge yet
