I messed around with putting words together for searches a little bit during lunch and came across a link that may be promising. I'm not going to post it here because I'm not sure of the source. I'll order a couple of pens and if I like them, I'll let you know.
In quilting, I've used a vinegar rinse with batiks and hand-dyes, it sets the color nicely.
Cynette, experimenting on canvas or cheaper shoes is a great idea. Thanks. All those years of doodling just may come in handy here. Let's see, 50 + years of doodling on scraps of paper, telephone books, homework, class assignments, letters, to-do lists, love notes. I'm well practiced. Get ready, Kara.
