Tie One On
Oops! In my last blog I said that the wine glasses were my last Christmas gift post. I was wrong. I missed posting these lovely ties!
I bought these vintage ties at a couple different stores in Kensington Market. One store in particular, Courage My Love, was awesome for vintage ties! They have 2 large spinning tie racks laden with hundreds of ties. Hundreds! And they are all displayed in order of colour, which was super helpful. I spent a long time picking out the right ties for the right people.
In the end, I chose these 3 ties for my boyfriend, my dad and my brother. Then I silkscreened these designs I created onto them, experimenting with layering of colours. Fortunately all my experimenting turned out-- I'm horrible for experimenting on the final product rather than doing a mock-up first.
I also made 2 ties for my roomie, Rob, for his birthday back on December 10, but I didn't take photos of them. I'll have to do that. Preferably while he's wearing them.
