• Design one-of-a-kind art cloth for your favorite quilting, sewing, home décor, and garment projects
• Create dimensional effects with ingredients like oatmeal, sugar, and soy wax-mix and match 8 resists with 7 application techniques for endless possibilities
• Materials for making non-toxic resists are easy to find, starting with your kitchen cupboards!
