Hands On
Geo’s hands after working on a silk scarf.
Look at those hands! Pretty colorful, eh? He gets so immersed in his work! Speaking of which, Geo has created a few new silk scarves and they’re showing up in the store this week. They’re wider and longer this time around, which means more ways for you to wear them! Take a peek!
“Bleeding Heart” . . . is just one of the new silk scarves being listed in the store this week! These are so beautiful– and you have the added benefit of knowing you’re supporting an up-and-coming scientist as he heads off to college! Muah! xoxo You’re awesome!
Tutorial: Dyeing Silk Scarves with Permanent Markers
Sometimes, getting permanent marker on your clothes is a good thing!
My Mother’s Day project went off beautifully. Every kid’s scarf was unique and wonderful. And most of us even finished in time to make a card for our Moms. You can see photos of our scarves on our facebook page.
Geo really got into this craft. He’s made several in the recent days for his Grandmother and Aunts. Each one seems better than the next! Originally, I wasn’t going to post a tutorial because the internet is full of these things. But he came up with a few tips that make a difference–ideas I haven’t seen elsewhere. So, I took a few photos of his process to share with you. (those are his hands in the photos!) Plus, I thought I’d list my resources as well. With that in mind: the tutorial is below the fold. Jump jump!
