I'm SO excited about the idea of snails sliding their way across your fabric! The paint I used was by pebeo but other makes of transparent fabric paint work too. Make sure the paint is well diluted first.Leaves and petals work well, gravel and stones will give a very dense white I think. Whatever you do it will be unique!

Once dry it then sucks the moisture(and some of the fabric paint) out of the bits that are still damp under the resist. <br />http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/howtodyewithlight.shtmlSandra Rowneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636482534635721963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676281952525188507.post-83848706816160390992011-04-24T21:08:14.145+01:002011-04-24T21:08:14.145+01:00Still a bit baffled, and about to go down a long &...Still a bit baffled, and about to go down a long "google tunnel" over it I expect! Will you tell us what fabric paint it is, I'd like to experiment and see what makes it work and what doesn't. Does it work if you spit on it (ha!), does it work if you chuck gravel on it? What if I set all my snails I collected today in the garden to mooch across it slowly?

About the tree cutters...yes I believe it is illegal to cut down trees when birds were nesting but i'm not sure just what they were up to. The chainsaw noise went on all day and I noticed a very tall tree had been lopped.

Lets face it, all the fabric is painted with FABRIC PAINT so, why on earth does the bit that is NOT exposed to the sun turn white? Duh? it doesn't make sense but it does produce fabby results and you can do it in a sunny room. Make sure the sun is shining onto the fabric for best results. Go on...have a go!
