Towards the end of last year, I spent an afternoon creating background papers with heat transfer paints and shaving foam. You may recall that some were used on mugs.
As I still had a box of prepared papers, I decided to cut them up and try and create a design on a canvas bag, with the help of some leaf die cuts I made. It wasn't awfully successful, as I had forgot that the paints were really better on a polycotton material, and I should have treated the canvas bag with some special primer (which I have but forgot!). This was the result! Not brilliant and not as vivid as it should have been.

.......I then had a brainwave - do some more fabric painting to enhance the squares, and tie them all together - yes it worked!
I also discovered this little panel in the box of fabric paints - so decided to paint that too
