Thanks for the comment Yvonne. The website appears a bit strange to me at present but maybe its just my machine!!

Hi Susan,

Thank you for the photo’s. I didn’t get a close up look at the jacket so it was great to see it, and also all the class members. It was a great week wasn’t it.

Congratulations on getting your newsletter on to the web so quickly. I was amazed to see it so soon after we came home from Geelong.

Cheers
Yvonne

Michael Marendy, the textile conservator for the museum uses acid free tissue paper….has to be acid free… Michelle at the redcliffe museum knows what it is and where to get it …… just wrap textiles in it and store….. i have some lace and a petticoat my grandmother made by hand as part of her glory box in 1899 I hav just stored tm in tissue paper in a tin trunk and they are still Ok

Hi Doreen,
You don’t need a lot of supplies when you do it with shaving cream and Dye-Na-Flow paints. Pump out about a 1 inch thick bed of shaving cream, drizzle dye-na-flow paints over it. Use a skewer or comb to “marble” the paint. Then press fabric lightly ontop of shaving cream pile. Fabric (cotton) will suck up paint. Then place fabric to one side, use plastic ruler to scrape off cream. Let dry on plastic sheet. Iron to heat set, wash after to get rid of shaving cream smell! You can keep going with the cream to make lots of prints. Usually I find the second print onwards are the best.

Wow, those came out beautiful. I have wanted to try marbling, but it sounds like you have to have a lot of supplies.
