If you hadn’t guessed, I’m not a huge wearer of bright colors (it happens, but it’s usually somehow layered with dark things)…however, these bat & flower silk scarves by Klaus Haapaniemi are wonderful:
I’ve always loved the idea of half-hidden darkness or unconventionality. An unsuspecting onlooker would have to look closely to see the bats…but I’d know they’re there.
There are also spider patterns for the arachnid-inclined.
These are giving me craft ideas. I bet some fantastic embroidery creations could emerge with the mingling of bats and flowers.

I think you’d look beautiful in light blues; elvin even!
Thank you. I do have a couple of light blue things in the wardrobe!
Oh my… the bat scarves are adorable. I would love that bat pattern to be on a long skirt. Indelibly cute! 😀 Thanks for posting!
A skirt with this pattern would be lovely as well (I wear skirts far more often than scarves!).
they remind me of the spider web tea cup you’d posted a few days ago.
I was thinking of those cups when I posted this because it’s the same kind of idea. Love both of them!
Bat and spider scarves!!! I may have to change my wardrobe around for the excuse to wear such beauties! I do think I could get away with wearing one at church. Only I would know what was hidden within.
Exactly! It’s like walking around with lovely secret bats for company. 🙂
