I just took a short class on fabric painting at a state-wide guild meeting and I am signed
up for Georgia Bonesteel's Setacolor Surprise class in May, however I just had to keep
trying things out after the short class.

I am using the Setacolor Transparent paints by Pebeo and Course Kosher Salt.
For sun resists, I think you could use anything; thread, string, safety pins, bobbins, card stock.

Below are some of the pieces I have painted:)

In class, we had several small pieces of cotton fabric to try the techniques out and then a silk scarf we got to paint and hope it turned out:)

I like doing the bigger pieces best I believe! Now to work up a place to do them.
