You do lovely work. Could be money in your future if you can find the right path with your art.

Iron your fabric to some freezer paper to stabilize it, draw your picture and then shade with some paint or crayons. You are going to fall in love with the possibilities.

I knew you all would have some ideas, Ive never heard of the site or technique! I'll check it out. thank you!

You should draw onto muslin or white fabric then use crayon and make blocks from your drawings. Stuff that beautiful should be shown off for sure. Have you ever used crayon on fabric before? Lots of tutorials out there on it

I havent even heard of doing that before this thread...so Im definatly checking into that!!

Thank you so much!

Ive worked as an artist before designing logos and drawing race cars for our local speedway... so I know there must be a way to combine the two hobbys and ya'll have given me some great ideas!!

Thank you ALL so much!!
