Your project came out beautiful! I can see myself making MANY experiments, then stashing them for "other uses".

Bless you and your little pinkie finger. I know this is a very weird comment. But my beloved grandma had a pinkie finger like yours that wouldn't straighten out, and seeing your hands work had tears rolling down my face. In a good way. I miss her dearly. And it was like seeing a tiny bit of her. Thank you for that. And thanks for sharing this tutorial. Hugs from Denmark <3

Wow! I also love to experiment and this was so exciting to watch! They would be amazing in a frame or embroidery hoop to hang or set in a window thank you for sharing this beautiful inspiration.

So cool - I'm thinking of doing this to "recover" my outdoor cafe table as well as the large cans that I keep my knitting needles and crochet hooks in. Thanks!

Thank you Linda Lapotka -- Suzi Dennis inspired me -- I enjoy a good challenge and learning new techniques.

How inspiring. I may just make my Lace Book cover using that technique. I could even embed dried flowers that I have been hoarding for a special project. That technique is very similar to what I used to do to my dried flowers as a teen. Dip the whole dried flower in Elmers glue and let it dry then it looked like a leather flower. TFS I have many yards of mosquito netting that will just be perfect for this.

I had some beautiful skins parts, dts, etc. I glued them on a plain coffee cup and what a difference it made. I probably won't use it because you can't wash it, it would come right off. This is beautiful, what you're doing. Great imagination.

Meri Meri Meri!!! Wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! I just now found this. For some reason I did not get a notification when you commented on my site so I went to it today wondering what happened to you!!! I LOVE what you did!!! You have inspired me to do a bigger piece. I've just been keeping it small while I "Play" but time to go big!! and with sheer fabric too. I have been making "skins" on my blog and using gauze. BTW, if you lay down a thin, diluted layer of mod podge over the sticky side, that will eliminate the sticky. Also, the reason I will sometimes finish up with acrylic varnish or medium is because sometimes several layers of mod podge can make your piece brittle and can actually break! I found that the medium will make it more flexible. This was FUN!! We will do it again sometime! Thanks so much :)

I saw someone using a silicone sheet under their pours which made it super easy to peel up.
