I recently discovered an easy and fun way to enhance silks
so that they look a bit more realistic.
Modern, expensive silks are so realistic that you sometimes need to touch them to check for authenticity.
However, the inexpensive versions usually look "fake" and very unattractive.
As I was doing a bit of early Spring cleaning today, I wished that I had purchased some fresh tulips or similar Spring-y flowers at my local grocer.
After our gloomy, snowy week, some beautiful blooms would be most welcome. Being a girl who likes "instant gratification", meaning- I don't want to wait 'til later when I can get it now- I decided to pull out one of my recent bouquet finds and see if I could make it work.
After placing them in a lovely vintage white pitcher, they needed a little "something something" to look right. I remembered I had armfuls of hydrangeas (from my summer blooms) drying downstairs ...
I took a few stems and mixed them in with the silks.
What do you think?
I like them a bit myself.
Not a substitute for the real thing, but they'll do in a pinch ((smile)).
