Awesomely Outrageous Scenes on Silk Scarves by Karen Mabon

So, ear­li­er this week I shared some illus­tra­tive scarves by Nathalie Lété, and now it’s these silk beau­ties by artist and design­er Karen Mabon. They’re whim­si­cal as well as nar­ra­tive and char­ac­ter dri­ven — terms you nor­mal­ly would­n’t use to describe scarves. Karen’s out­ra­geous, busy scenes fea­ture things such eat­ing at a din­er, rob­bing a can­dy store, and a sleight of hand. It’s total­ly not what you’d expect to be on a scarf and makes each piece a wear­able work of art.

On her web­site, it says that “Karen rev­els in pro­duc­ing work that is acces­si­ble, indi­vid­ual and fun.” That’s exact­ly what I love about these scarves. This style isn’t for stodgy old ladies anymore!

I found Karen’s work via the online shop Whim. Check it out for oth­er awe­some good­ies. I swoon at their sweaters!
