I am stunned. There is a very easy progression to making this stuff and using it, but the results are so fluid and unexpected. I will have yards of samples by the end of the transfer paints as the Media of the Moment.
Unexpected bummer: transfer paints work best on man made fibers – these gorgeous things are 100% polyester which makes the fiber snob in me quiver

Yeah, I had the same sort of offended resentment when I found out how well crayons print onto acetate! I am loving these leaf things, you’re getting beautiful effects and making me want to try, too!
Did you find anyone who would ship you leaves? 😉
