Hi all,,, Peta and I once used a silk blouse and the effects were fantastic
, once we had the image centered we draped the silk over the object, it's
supple enough that the fabric falls into and around the object . It's fun to
try different fabrics , colors and patterns at worst you'll become a better
interior decorator at best you'll have beautiful images to display, word of
advice , plaid/ polyester is so 70's , could lead to nausea.
Mr.. Ferret
