If we do decide on crayons, my Crayola Fabric Crayons came today. The instructions say that to be sure that the design is permanent, use 100% synthetics fabrics or fabrics with a high polyester content. What happens if you use cotton? Or are there other makes that will work on cotton?

My crayons came today too -can't wait to give them a go

Wow Katy this sounds like fun and I have an idea already. Two birds with one stone - thank you. Suzy's batik fabric from crayons is so clever.

Sandy

Crayons, I need crayons, I know I have some somewhere...but...same old story...where????

Haven't had time to look at all those websites yet Katy, but am looking forward to it now that I have received some lovely crayons, thanks to dear Tessa. I have a "two birds" idea too Sandy, don't know if it will work.

Think I need to think of lots of double projects to hit with one stone as there are so many floating around. (That sound a bit obtuse, sorry).

Am getting on a bit with the Jan. challenge, Katy, determined to do that.

Heavy frost here again this morning. None of the snow of other parts of the island though.

Sylvia

Just now been through them all Katy. What a wealth of info. Have "favourited" several. Have done a bit of rubbing this evening, will see what becomes of it.
