Burning Tyvek - February 17, 2018

We used Lynda Monk's process from her book Fabulous Surfaces.    We learned quite a bit and the ladies created some cool pieces!  Nancy found some notes from a class she took and they suggested you not use Misty Fuse, which is what I had them use along with Wonder Under.  Nancy had great success with Steam A Seam 2, which seemed to keep the piece from bubbling so much.  Also, another note from Nancy:  use the iron without parchment paper - just use 
the tip of the iron and do it very quickly or you'll get too much 
bubbling.  I, personally, recommend using the acrylic or recycled felt 
under all of this, instead of using our padded and plastic paint pads.
