We are so excited to team up with a local designer to offer our readers a chance to win one of Ariel Hansen’s Handmade Scarves! She has worked in the design field for over 14 years and has now moved into making her own collection of gorgeous, versatile scarves and wraps that are made to handmade in the USA!
Our good friend Betsy over at A Few Goody Gumdrops interviewed Ariel Hansen about her gorgeous handmade scarves and wraps. Here’s a snippet of the interview for you to enjoy…
1.When did you launch ARIEL Handmade Scarves and Wraps?
I launched my line in the spring of 2013.2.Where do your draw your inspiration from?
I draw my inspiration from nature and everyday life. I love to integrate certain colors, patterns and details from many different cultures along with a wide range of textiles.3.Your range of shades are gorgeous. Are your scarves in seasonal or year round shades?
I combine black with color because I believe the two make each other stronger. I do try to keep the colors seasonal. I definitely think women tend to be more daring during the winter months and opt for bright colors to feel more uplifted on a dreary day.4. Do you create a specific line for each season?
Yes. During the summer I create wraps in many shades that can be worn on cool nights or to the beach! During the colder months I use wools and heavy cottons. For spring and fall my scarves and wraps are made of lighter fabrics such as cotton and silk.5. Where are your scarves made?
I actually hand-make them all myself which gives me a sense of freedom!6. How do you select your fabrics?
I select my fabrics depending on the quality and the season. Cotton and silk are great fabrics that can be worn all year round.

Jeans, a little black dress. I think it would be very versatile and lovely!Thanks, Cindi
I would wear it all the time with everything because it’s a neutral color.
Jeans and a t shirt since that’s my usual attire.
I think this would be pretty with a striped tunic t-shirt, skinny jeans and riding boots.
I think this would look great with a form fitting black shirt and boots.
