Surface: Fabric! I love painting on to fabric. I found this old fabric covered container. I think
it was for knitting or sewing supplies. I think it is nice for books, also. I don’t use fabric paint. I just use the Americana Acrylics. They work really well for me. I just slow down my strokes of paint and load extra paint on to my brush for a nice smooth edge.
Preparation: Trace your design on to the surface and now it is time to start painting!
