11/3 COWBOY NECKERCHIEF
Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2023 9:20 pm
Welcome to the Wild, Wild West - where this town ain't big enough for the both of us . .
Join us all month long as we visit the historical period of the American Frontier in the late 19th Century, characterized by lawlessness, violence and most importantly, adventure.
A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery.
Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....
A neckerchief (from neck (n.) + kerchief[1]), sometimes called a necker, kerchief or scarf, is a type of neckwear associated with those working or living outdoors, including farm labourers, cowboys and sailors. It is most commonly still seen today in the Scouts, Girl Guides and other similar youth movements. A neckerchief consists of a triangular piece of cloth or a rectangular piece folded into a triangle. The long edge is rolled towards the point, leaving a portion unrolled. The neckerchief is then fastened around the neck with the ends either tied or clasped with a slide or woggle.
Today we are going to talk about the neckerchief worn by the Cowboy. We have all replicated it at some point in our life. They come in all kinds of patterns and lots of different colors. Red is the most prominent. Your challenge today is to use a gingham or checkered pattern or paisley pattern, anything that works for you and whatever color you choose.
also use some jute to represent what they used to keep it around your neck. You can tie knots or whatever your layout calls for.
In my example I used the paisley one from Doodlebugs collection Down on the farm.
Have Fun! playing in the Wild, Wild, West!
