More homework

This workshop is just so inspiring!  I have several more projects in the queue, but probably won't ever get to half of them.  When trying to sleep last night my brain came up with one project that I'm really excited about.  Spent a few minutes today checking out all of my supplies, including finding my bottle of discharge paste.  I wanted to see how the most important fabric, for the piece in my mind, would discharge.  Well, either the fabric won't discharge or the paste is so old that it will no longer work.  Yes, it's 15 to 20 years old, and nothing happened to the fabric when I tried a bit on the corner.  It was more than  bit, so should have worked.  The fabric was 100% cotton quilting fabric so it should have discharged quite nicely.  It is black and can discharge to almost any other colour, but I was hoping for a rich golden beige.

So I ordered more off the internet.  Discharge paste $10.00/bottle, postage $15.10.  But this was the only Canadian source I could find, and I don't want to have to deal with custom's brokers.  This will be a long term project and will involve hand work, so certainly won't be started for a few weeks.

I consoled myself by working on my internet workshop.  I have one small piece put together, and rather like it. This combines two of the techniques we were supposed to explore, but doesn't go as far as maybe it should have.  There is another one I want to try out, but that will wait for tomorrow.
