Not that your work suffers for it--I really am enjoying your blog, and I'm glad you're going to be studying more deeply later this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31143006.post-49146070931044521732007-01-29T18:38:00.000+00:002007-01-29T18:38:00.000+00:00Elizabeth, many thanks for your help.

What I will do is use the washable and see how I get on with it and with the vanishing I will put some onto a sample of different fabrics and place these next to a window and leave it for a few months or more!MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680594156835961200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31143006.post-27410330573293531332007-01-28T21:49:00.000+00:002007-01-28T21:49:00.000+00:00Your Cretan piece is absolutely stunning -- I thin...Your Cretan piece is absolutely stunning -- I think I left a comment about it on your flickr site to say much the same thing!<br /><br />I use a water-soluble marker to draw on fabric--it's made by Collins, but as I am in the U.S. I don't know if it's available in UK. The reason I use water-soluble instead of the variety that vanishes on its own is that I was told that the vanishing sort can with time "bleach" your fabric. Who knows if this is true? At any rate, the water-soluble variety works very well for me. <br /><br />Hope that helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
