Denise, this sounds absolutely lovely, a watercolor painting effect. 

Why yes, I DO need to buy more craft supplies. :D Dharma Trading, here I
come! 

Thanks for the inspiration,

Linda

If you get to the point where you want to try the artistic route -- I'd
use 
a selection of similar colors and try for an effect similar to "sponge 
painting" on walls.

Silk is so easy to dye -- you can sponge or squirt or drip acid dye in 
random patterns, wrap in plastic and steam (over water or nuke it); then

rinse and repeat as often as you like. Buy some cheap silk scarves to 
practice with if you have something specific in mind (and keep notes!).

I'm thinking of something like a very subtle camouflage (very subtle!) 
Several shades of greens and browns swirled together and overlapping
until 
there is no real "pattern" just one color blending into the next.
