handkerchief art - who knew?!

[launderedlace]

Being into using different materials to make 'natural light and shadow' images, it took a while to discover how versatile, yet again, handkerchiefs are! The 'A' and 'F' (lace) ones are from the 1950s, found on eBay; the pair with embroidered blue flowers were bought, early 2000s, from the handkerchief section of a department store ... yes, really! Of course, they're all capable of much more than posing prettily in the sunlight, but here they all are looking their freshly-laundered best; like many familiar and reliable friends, one of the blue-flowered ones is starting to fray at the edges!

Lovely handkerchiefs and the bottom pics are gorgeous

Thank you - the pair with embroidered blue flowers are currently scripted into a draft second installment of 'Embroidered handkerchief distraction - the fiction', although they only have a bit-part!

Sorry - links in that earlier post are now broken. But this pic from my SFF gallery shows one of the handkerchiefs (here tucked into the pocket of a tiny, vintage waitress apron) written into that story-line
