It's not quite GIGO, but it's hard to make really good silk purses out of sows' ears.

True about the difficulty regarding the transmutation of silk from porcine auditory apparatus, but some good sleight of hand could possibly make it appear as if you pulled a silk purse _out_ of a sow's ear.
I still think that, if it can be done, you can certainly do it, and very well also. And it sounds like an interesting challenge to boot. :)

I think scientists did make a silk purse from a sow's ear, just to prove it could be done...although I may be mixing that up with the goats that have spider genes and excrete spider silk in their milk.
