I have done this with procion dyes on silk, although not printed from a
photo, but rather hand painted. The difficulty is keeping the dyes from
bleeding onto the wrong parts of the silk. I think if you use saran wrap
when rolling up the scarf, you have better results.

I wonder if you could also do it in a microwave?
