U soak the muslin, use set a color and dry in the sun, etc. She even took the paint and painted it on the muslin and laid leaves, ferns in it, so interesting and this reminded me of the bleached flowers. So u can make your own fabric and designs so easy. U take the paint and add water in a jar and make it like water and just spread the whole fabric with it and do as u please. So this is great to make your own colors. So beautiful to see it done. Has anyone seen this, it is just so amazing and interesting for sure. U can even use stamps, etc.....
I haven't seen this done before, but it sounds wonderful and I can really see how helpful it would be to this project.

Did you see this on TV or on the internet? I am very interested in seeing it also. :thumbup:
