I got my package today, too . . . and I'm just a little overwhelmed. Everyone was so creative! Thank you, each one of you, for sharing your vision with me.
I have set up a "mini gallery" around my computer, so I can keep enjoying them. (I would only keep taking them out of the bag and going through them over and over anyway.)

Anyone like Tim Holtz products?
I found Tim Holtz merchandise on sale (40% off!) tonight. Unmarked, so it was a surprise when I checked the price checker. EVERYTHING Tim Holtz is on sale at my Michael's. If you like and/or use Tim Holtz products and have a Michael's near you, check it out. Not sure when the sale will end as there were no signs but it doesn't hurt to check it out. |

My thoughts are to do a wax resist on a white cloth/bandana then use Rit Dye to color it...
. The bandanas usually run for like a dollar each OR a square, rectangle, or circular piece of white cotton cloth will work...Basically "write" anything at all OR draw something OR make any kind of design with a wax resist stick....these can be found at most craft stores....I think they are like $3.39 for 4 on Amazon BUT a regular old crayon will work as well...just need to melt tip of crayon with a candle... Anyway, do the wax resist.....mix dye....dip in, let color set to your liking...wash & rinse...let dry....any residual wax can be ironed off after placing dried item between two sheets wax paper and ironing it... Creativity would be "free reign" for each crafter.... Happy Rags.....to cherish forever!!!! Anyone else interested in this????... .gif "Say What?")

I think your idea's really creative but I'm a die hard paper craft person, plus this involves household chores (ironing) which I try to avoid, so I'd wait until the next project myself. There are a couple of others who have done things with cloth materials in the past that should really enjoy something like this. I bet the end result would be really cool!

The only "ironing" is "if" there is excess wax resist on piece after dyed, washed, rinsed, etc. It would come to us "wrinkled".... part of its beauty... Would like to hear any other craft ideas....I am certainly open to them.....I was just thinking of some different things.... .....

I think it's a great idea... Try something a little different. Clay could you maybe post some links to Pinterest showing the idea the 'how to' and possibilities to maybe take the intimidating out of the idea. I'm game for this !!

Thank you Breathless!!!
I am not very "savvy" at posting links....but will give it a shot....hoping to get others interested..... Process can be on watercolor paper that has been "hot pressed" as opposed to "cold pressed" (that I usually use in my ATC's projects. One can use any regular watercolors & crayons....I am open to using paper if that garners more interest.... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...ue&FORM=RESTAB See if this helps to show ease of it using watercolor paper that is "hot pressed"...(is bought that way in a tablet of paper) in the art supply sections of crafts aisles Hoping this will make it an easier concept to grasp....using the paper will probably be more appealing?!
