Ignore the obvious - that I'm getting ready for work - (pre-makeup). This is a dress I'd been wanting to create FOREVER! I finally bought a plain white dress online. I got out my acrylic paints & started painting. It was fun! I got the dress finished and boy was it stiff. I figured if I washed it that would soften it up. It did, but it also washed some of the paint away, which was strange, faded some paint horribly, and left some areas looking great. Since I was just using whatever craft paints I had I pulled them all back out & looked at them, figuring out which ones had been successful. Seems some acrylic paint is actually made for fabric. Who knew! I touched up my dress & wore it to school.The kids LOVED IT! (of course, what 's not to love!). Ironically, it was right after this that I discovered my new idol Cassie Stephenz, author of What the Art Teacher Wore. Love her! She could SO be my best friend! After discovering her blog I decided I needed to teach myself how to sew. So far I rock at curtains! LOL! Time to go make this blog cool looking, cause I am SO not inspired with this blank white page! Later...
