First, I apologize. I want to work more on printing subtle hankies this week but I am again on deadline for another project. More will come with this softer and gentler hankie style.
These are silk hankies and the idea to create a softer and gentler more subtle hankie came from a mess up. Thinking I would need to work with a dye like paint, I tried using Pebeo Setacolor
transparent paints to stamp with. It didn't work, the color soaked into the fibers of the silk and splotched.
Not wanting to waste a hankie I quickly painted all four edges of the hankie to create a colored border. Then I took out my opaque acrylic paints and stamped some borders around a few of the hankies.
I want to carve some tiny rose bouquets but it will have to wait until I finish the project on my desk.
I have also been taking photos of the Ever Gorgeous Arrow.
I am embracing the photos Arrow will allow me to take. He doesn't like busy flashes in his eyes, he doesn't like to stop doing what he is up to. He just wants admiration and strokes.
A friend of Arrows' has passed into the Fields of Plenty, safe passage, Nelson.
