Thanks for the explanation of this technique! I think yours are beautiful!!!
I'm going to attempt to make an applique using this technique to make my bichon frise. I've drawn the picture and am wondering how I'm going to trace it onto the dark fabric. Maybe I'll cut it out and draw around the outside. See if that will work. In the meantime, I'd better trace my drawing onto another piece of paper so I don't loose my hours of work!!!
