Painting on silk scarves part 2

after reviewing some of the products available to paint on the silk scarves from Marie Genevieve Samson of   StrasseSilk, I think I may have found the product that will be perfect for the silk without it being to costly.

"A little birdy told me" was originally going to be a flower but it took on a life of its own and actually looks like a peacock "My eye" seemed like a cool concept but now that I look at it today, it is a bit creepy. I may go for rework instead of the reject pile
