Prom Hankies
I thought it would be fun for my son to give his girlfriend, Samantha, a silk hankie for prom. I didn’t like the first one so I a made a second one. Her dress was a shimmery champagne color so I think the second one probably worked better anyway. He never said which one he gave her or whether she liked it (them).
I was practicing writing with dyed resist. I used SilkPaint! brand in both cases. I painted the resist on first then painted the background around the letters. I don’t think that was the best way to do it though.
I love hankies. I think they are so gentlemanly. My grandfather always carried one so I tried to get my husband and sons to carry them but it didn’t work out. I carry a hankie which is the part I cut off the first scarf I ever painted. It is so soft and absorbent. It is easy to wash in the sink and it dries super fast so it is ready to stick back in my purse within an hour or so after washing.
I think I’m going to make some more for myself really soon!
