My mum brought this over tonight. Something from childhood crafting days - a box of Pentel Water Color Dyes for fabric.
I smiled when I saw the cover of the box again. Look closely at those two crazy cats. Don't they look thrilled to be wrapped in a bit of handpainted lerrrvvv?
Some of the tubes still have beautiful oozy colour in them. Quite a surprise, given the age of the paints and that they had all been opened. To give an idea as to how ancient they are, the instructions say ... design almost any fabric from t-shirts to hot pants.
Stencilled hot pants, anyone?
The phrase "hot pants" always makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteOh, come on. You know you would ROCK those hot pants. :p
ReplyDeleteBTW...with watercolors, wouldn't even the dried ones work with a little water, like the ones in a tray??
Oooh I would have lurrvvved those when I was younger. Actually I reckon I would now!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I would love some stencilled hot pants! I'm just not sure anyone else would actually want to see me wearing them.
ReplyDeleteThey look like even more fun than my early-80's flouro fabric paints!! The cover art on the box is worth framing!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! Let's have a craft workshop and all make hand painted hot pants!
ReplyDeleteStencilled hot pants were always something I have wanted! No, not really LOL.
