I bought the stencil at a scrapbook convention here in Oregon. It is made by TCW with a website at TheCraftersWorkshop.com. Here is the link to their stencil page...<br />http://thecraftersworkshop.com/The_Crafters_Workshop/New_Products.html<br /><br />They have many cool designs!Ann @ makethebestofthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618787180208030510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055281380581443137.post-60027935115782447362012-05-30T10:07:24.325-07:002012-05-30T10:07:24.325-07:00Robin, I found no email for you and your blog is p...Robin, I found no email for you and your blog is private, so I hope you return to read this. Fabric medium is a liquid additive for regular craft paint which makes the paint penetrate and stick better while maintaining a soft feel to the finished project. Painting fabric without it results in stiff and cracking paint which can flake off. I find it with the craft paints at my local Michael's, Joanne's Fabrics and even Walmart. I mix it one third medium to two thirds paint and have used this mix for dozens of painted tee shirts, tote bags and pillows. You could also order it online when the above store have a cheap or free shipping special and the cost is less than $3. Good luck with your projects!Ann @ makethebestofthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618787180208030510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055281380581443137.post-19426767525082201792012-05-28T15:28:51.041-07:002012-05-28T15:28:51.041-07:00love this---where did you get the stencil?love this---where did you get the stencil?Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080280948403498009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055281380581443137.post-77055024576371862722012-05-28T11:05:04.840-07:002012-05-28T11:05:04.840-07:00You mentioned when you were painting this you used...You mentioned when you were painting this you used fabric medium...what is that? Why did you use it instead of fabric paint? Does one technique hold up better than the other? When the paint is mixed with the fabric medium and painted on the sweatshirt, does it make the design kind of crunchy? <br /><br />I live in a very DRY state and I've always wanted to try painting [or whatever] on fabric, but things don't hold up as long here. For example, the padded heels on running shoes get hard after a while, elastic loses it's snap, and sticky notes...we'll they fall off vertical surfaces after a while. <br /><br />So to paint, or somehow adhere a design on fabric, I need to find something that will hold up to the dryness and also not flake off either. Any suggestions you'd have would be much appreciated...great blog!!!Robin Mendelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341107480684675117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055281380581443137.post-84913979493104031662012-05-27T03:38:33.072-07:002012-05-27T03:38:33.072-07:00Love the creativity here!
