It all started on one of those dreary rainy days. I opened a box of hats to lift my spirits and saw this lovely little skullcap covered with flowers. Completely faded and with age stains all over. From what I can tell the blossoms used to be a pale blue. So... I got the urge to see if I could revive some of her former beauty. From there I dug around in my old craft supplies and found some alcohol based dyes. Will they work? Guess I'm going to find out!
The first thing I realized was that I was pretty limited with only three colors! But the yellow was a no brainer for the floral centers. I have blue and an extremely bright plum left. I've decided to look around a bit and see if they make these inks in lighter shades nowadays. I want her to be colorful but not "loud". The hat just has that soft and delicate personality. I want to enhance her beauty. Super bright colors can go on some other piece! hahaha.
