It feels like a cross between paper and plastic.I cut out some pieces, snipped them round the edges, painted them with Lumiere paint and LuminArte powders......
...then put them between 2 pieces of baking parchment and pressed with an iron.
It shrivels in a bubbly kind of way.
I really like the results - its such an interesting texture. Next step...stitching and beading.
In my Suzi Blu workshop we have been learning how to shade with pencil crayons - here's my latest attempt. I think there are signs of improvement!!
(In answer to Judy's question in comments box - you're right, Tyvek is used for all sorts of things, see http://www2.dupont.com/Tyvek/en_US/index.html )

Hi Linda, Is that Tyvex stuff the same thing used for building houses? You're right, it makes for very interesting textures whatever it is!
I recently saw a demo where colored pencils were used on cloth to color images outlined with pigma pens. Then a special sponge was used to wet the colored area and made it look like water color...quite interesting.
Hi Linda - not that long ago I saw a tutorial in blogland about Tyvek - and for the life of me can't remember where - lol - but the creations were beautiful. Don't forget to post the next step!
Signs of improvement on your girl is an understatement ....
Lovely. You are getting better and better.
