    Another question dizzytina!

    Which inkjet fabric do you use please?
    I want to print writing on a light background and it doesn't need to be washable.
    Also, can you put it through thr printer several times as I'll only be using a small amount at a time, and don't want to waste a whole sheet.

    Tina love your signs they're fab. Art clay is very very scary - thank god for Wammy's advice otherwise I think things could have been far worse :eek: My next packet arrived today yipeeeeeeee :j

    Wammy if I was making cufflinks do you think I'm best to mold the silver clay on whilst wet, or glue on afterwards?!

    Does anyone know where I can buy 15cm polystyrene balls that aren't hideously expensive?

    Postage is stupid for something that weighs nothing at most places.
    Nearest local place I can find them is a half hour drive away.

    Cuddles i have previously used cotton. if you are printing onto fabric which doesn't need washing you could put the fabric straight through the printer like i did recently. I took a piece of white cotton/canvas material and stuck it temporarily onto a sheet of paper. I then put that through the printer and it printed perfectly onto the fabric just like printing onto paper alone. I then peeled the fabric away from the paper. I was framing mine so i popped it into a photo frame. I am doing a tuttorial over on my blog tomorrow on this if you pop over and have a look. I don't see why you can't put the transfer paper through several times but i tend to fill a whole sheet with images i want to use and print them all off at once. x x

    tina - thanks............think I've got a fine liner and there maybe a gel pen lurking somewhere:)

    cuddles - what lovely button necklaces..:T...........I really must make some more.They won't be as nice as yours though as I just thread them onto cord.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
