Cyanotyping (silk?) ties?
Hi everyone! I've just gotten into cyanotyping and it's been a joy so far (photo from a cyanotype party I recently had - we're planning to make this into a tote bag). My imagination is sparked. I'm attending a couple of weddings in a few months and am thinking about cyanotyping a silk tie or ascot for them.
I'm just worried because the internet and my tailor friend suggest that you shouldn't get ties wet, that they'll lose some internal structure. Do you have advice or experience? Success stories, horror stories? I think it would be much easier if I could buy un-dyed ties and just cyanotype them, but if the only way to do it is to buy the silk and then later cut it and sew it into a tie, that's within the realm of possibility. Thanks so much, I've gotten inspiration and joy from the other posts on this sub already!
