I tend to use needlework based things like applique and high relief embroidery but also splash paint on too

Hello everyone, I am new to SF and love the surface of fabrics, making your own fabric is the best and most fun experience and its messy !!! My hands are always coated in dyes and paints. LOL

I've used Thermofax screens and while they're fun and work like a charm, they're a bit too pricey for my budget. So, this weekend I made an organza screen, like in this month's Quilting Arts mag. I used mactac and fused it with misty fuse to organza. It worked so well, I was doing the happy dance around the house all weekend. I cut out my design with small scissors. Next, I'll try burning my design in the mactac (outside with lots of ventilation!).

Neroli's hot stuff workshop was surface design with a difference.  We looked at tyvek, textiva, angelina and synthetics and used the iron and the heat gun.  Here's my piece

Vicki, there is someone in Adelaide, but I think they charge an arm and a leg - its not an area I have explored but I will go searching if there is no one closer.

I know you are in australia anne, so where do you get your thermofax screens done?  That is the only reason I haven't done any
