WW - Another handkerchief
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
Wow, I'd never know what it really is - but does it matter? It's a work of art created from a hanky - can you ever really use it as a hanky again? Or has its meaning changed for you?
It's fantastic!! I read your "Everything I own" first and I am listenint to my version right now. It's all your fault that I need a handkerchief now! but it does good... Happy WW!

Gosh, that's just like a kaleidoscope! Do you actually use to blow your nose?!
Wow, what a freaky picture!
That is good freaky ;)
Glad you like it Digital.
As it happens I have used it. but being silk it needs careful cleaning Liz
Beautiful, Jams. I never learned how to clean silk, so I really appreciate this. Some girls were born for polyester!
It's like psychedelic stained glass. Groovy, man :D

Jams that's a handkerchief?!? I would have thought it was art from some glass or something. Love the colors and the print on it :)
My WW up at 12am(GMT +8) :)
Very artsy for a handkerchief!
I could have never guessed this right. Very unique.
Thats cool even though it made me a litte dizzy;) Happy WW.
Really! Amazing.
Wow- that is amazing. Do you actually use it to blow your nose?
jams, I'm getting a really good picture of you from your ties and your handkerchiefs...a real spiffy guy, eh?
Very pretty, wouldn't want to use it as it is too pretty for nasty stuff coming out of nose,LOL
Such a vibrant exciting handkerchief!
I love the colors! as always, I love your WW's, have a good one!
THanks everyone.
Mary.. I may give the impression I am a foppish dandy. If only!
Very interesting colors and pattern. I didn't realize what without your description.
If there was a little psychedelic orange in there i would think I was back in my 50's or the later 70's.
Happy WW/WT!

Here is for the foppish dandy:

Playing tricks on my eyes it is. Have a great WW. :)
I like it! It's like a wormhole for time travelling! :)
Very conceptual.
I really like this. I would not have known it was a hanky, however. I love blue, so this is very eye-catching for me.
Thanks for the visit and the comment.
That is a beautiful hanky! I love the blues! Thanks for stopping by today!
Do the jazzy handkerchiefs match your ties?
very cool!
That is wicked awesome! I love it! Great colors! Thanks for visiting mine
Have a great day!
Thanks everyone. Cherie, sadly they don't quite match but they are attractive... well I think so!
That is so cool! Very colorful. My WW is about motherhood.
You're really into handkerchiefs ei.. :D Happy WW!
ooh, i really like this one a lot! happy ww to you!
We all need to be as creative as you w/ our everyday beautiful things--looked at differently are very artistic-- good lesson for us thanks for sharing
Great picture! Kinda psychedelic, isn't it? :-)
Here is my post for this week. Have a great WW day!
lovely pattern very quirky! :)
I guess you aim for the middle of the vortex? Do you have am affinity for silk handkerchiefs, Jams? Haha! One of my nephews collects power ties!
This is great! I loved last week's handkerchief, and this week's makes me feel like I'm going into warp drive.
My 'Robin Hood' shot is definitely from the recent BBC series.
WOW, what a spin out...
Cool shot, ours is up as well at burntofferings and more at bernies fotoblog.
Have a great WW!!
Oh Wow, way to nice to actually blow your nose on. Love this shot.
Wow, I'd never know what it really is - but does it matter? It's a work of art created from a hanky - can you ever really use it as a hanky again? Or has its meaning changed for you?
Nice job... as usual!
My favorite shades of blue!
Lovely hanky. As my grandmother used to say, that one's just for show, not for blow.
Very cool, I surely would not have guessed it was a handkerchief ;).
VEry cool.
it's a unique design!
Happy WW!

I like this one even better than last week's. But then, I'm partial to blue. Happy WW.

That's a totally neat hanky...how big is that?

Wow, I think I'd get dizzy blowing my nose with this handkerchief. It looks like a kaleidoscope of stained glass or something.
psychodelic! very cool wearable art.

Beautiful and impressive - much better than ugly grey ones
