I made cheesecloth word skins awhile back. You can see that post here. This time I wanted to see what they would look like with stencils, instead of just writing.

I decided to do a little experiment. I wanted to know what the difference would be to allow the sun to dry the paint via sun printing, as opposed to just painting the fabric with Jacquard Dye-Na-Flow, and letting it sit and dry. You know I’m always up for experiments!
