Men’s Striped Hand Warmers

July 11, 2016 | Valerie Baber Designs

The Men’s Striped Hand Warmers are perfect for fall and winter keeping your hands warm in this tech savvy world. The Striped Hand Warmers match perfectly with the New Plaid Tartan scarf shown below. All made with hand painted merino wool. Check out more at http://www.valeriebaberdesign.com and http://www.valeriebaberdesigns.etsy.com

My goal when designing this piece and the Plaid Tartan scarf was to bring the tradition of this pattern forward with a deconstructed plaid tartan feel on both the hand warmers and the scarf in stripes going vertical and horizontal as this pattern does. There will be woman’s colour ways coming soon so pop by soon.

Stained Glass Rose Window, Gothic Architectural Hand Warmers

June 29, 2016 | Valerie Baber Designs

The Eclectic Stained Glass Rose Window hand warmer has part of the Stained Glass Rose Window shown with the Stone Tracery on top on one half with a lovely Gothic Inspired metal button and clock to accent this design. The Eclectic Stained Glass Rose Window Hand Warmer is designed with a longer top that drapes nicely down your arm for a great Wearable Art look. It has an asymmetrical effect that makes this piece unique. Other designs using this new look will follow. This is just the beginning of the Architectural Collection – Gothic Architecture Inspiration for 2016 so pop by often to see what I am working on and check out my stores as I often have one of a kind pieces there.

The picture below shows various other styles available in my latest additions to my Architectural Collection. You can purchase them at http://www.valeriebaberdesign.com or http://www.valeriebaberdesigns.etsy.com More coming soon.

A sneek peek into Fall 2016 for Valerie Baber Designs with the new Stained Glass scarves, hand warmers, hats and ear warmers to come. I decided to revisit my Gothic Architectural designs and this time make the focus the Stained Glass while still using the Stone Tracery as a secondary focus. (Last time I focused on the Stone Tracery as the main view point) Here are a few of the newest designs in my Architectural Collection.

Have a wonderful day!!

Sophia Collection – Sophia Rose Scarves

March 18, 2016 | Valerie Baber Designs

Introducing the Sophia Collection – Sophia Rose Collection. Inspiration for the Sophia Collection was from various Architectural influences I have been enjoying with my research into design of the past and incorporating it into the present and future designs I am working on. I called this collection Sophia as it means wisdom a beautiful part of every woman. The Sophia Collection is my “Wired to the Past” collection which brings styles and design from the past with a contemporary edge where I will add a “wired” look with yarn on each of them showing how the past is directly connected to the present and future.

Various colours available shown at the bottom of the page.

Sophia Rose Eclectic collar scarf, shown in the ivory set has 4 roses on the base of the scarf and leaves with a more eclectic feel in a spiral essence to add a unique touch. The hand warmers have one rose each and the eclectic leaves with a vintage style button to match the scarf.

Sophia Rose Elegant collar scarf, shown in the light gray, has a softer and elegant touch with the rose details and leaves more traditional in style. Two roses and leaves adorn the hand warmers adding an elegant classic touch to the design.

Sophia Rose Classic collar scarf, shown in the dark gray, has the same 4 roses, but omits the leaves to add a more modern touch to the design. A single rose on each hand warmer to match the scarf.

You can choose the one that portrays your style best. There is also a plain version, no roses or leaves, called the Sophia Classic collar scarf. Various hand warmers to match each style is also available including a plain version shown below. See more at www.valeriebaberdesigns.etsy.com or www.valeriebaberdesign.com
