So I should be going to bed, but instead- here's a recreation of a covering I put together for a recent shabbos, and had no time to photograph...
And here it is from the back (except that the tails go a bit longer):
I occasionally miss having something long to hold onto behind my back (a habit when I was thinking or praying, from before I was married), and this definitely gave me that sense of something on my back... It was also a fun change because the tichel itself (a triangular shawl, folded over because it's rather large) isn't tied at all, just draped over my head and bobby-pinned on. The ribbon is tied around it (with my bun above the bow), and that brings the scarf together. It actually held up just fine that way...
The only problem? My shadow looked a little bit like the bride of Frankenstein- the bow made a shadow that looked like two bolts sticking out of my neck... Too bad I couldn't get a picture.
