Sponge shapes + Fabric paint... I finally got around to this experiment tonight... and alas it did not work out so well. Aside from me just flubbing the placement of the shapes, the holes in the sponges left the shapes with very uneven coatings (pressing the sponges down helped a little though). In my opinion, the foam stamps gave a better result (and I could make triangle shapes for the stamps at least...) I am inclined to try foam brushes for this task though (they're having a sale on them at a craft store this week, 15 for $1). The holes may be fine enough to avoid the problems I had with this run... At least with this bag I can see if the paint will hold up to bending and such... (and it may end up being a decent way to store my cosmic coasters... even though I used stars for control points instead of triangles)... That's enough ranting... -Evan On 10/30/06, Elliott C.

Since it's not your page, I'm comfortable saying I think those illustrations are awful. =^> In the first one, is that the folded or unfolded placemat? In the second, is the fold the top or bottom edge ? In the third, what in the world is that thing? I can figure out what's going on, but only because I've done a bunch of similar things. -- Elliott C.
