There are wondrous sights beyond our world. This 16-piece collection contains stylized versions of some of the best planetary and astronomical imagery ever returned by spacecraft and telescope.
I created these scarves using public domain planetary images. The original images were too small for my purposes, so I resized and touched up the images in Adobe Photoshop. Honestly, they’re beautiful.
Click on the blue links below to see the scarves in more detail, in my Redbubble Shop.
