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?!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a freaky picture!
ReplyDeleteThat is good freaky ;)
Glad you like it Digital.
ReplyDeleteAs 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!
ReplyDeleteIt's like psychedelic stained glass. Groovy, man :D

ReplyDeleteJams that's a handkerchief?!? I would have thought it was art from some glass or something. Love the colors and the print on it :)

ReplyDeleteWow- that is amazing. Do you actually use it to blow your nose?
ReplyDeletejams, I'm getting a really good picture of you from your ties and your handkerchiefs...a real spiffy guy, eh?

ReplyDeleteTHanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteMary.. 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.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a little psychedelic orange in there i would think I was back in my 50's or the later 70's.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW/WT!

Here is for the foppish dandy:

ReplyDeleteThis is great! I loved last week's handkerchief, and this week's makes me feel like I'm going into warp drive.

Oh Wow, way to nice to actually blow your nose on. Love this shot.
ReplyDeleteWow, 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?
ReplyDeleteNice job... as usual!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite shades of blue!
ReplyDeleteLovely hanky. As my grandmother used to say, that one's just for show, not for blow.
