Yesterday was one of those days. I spent the morning playing with fabric paint, stencils and leaves in the studio of Carol R. Eaton. Here are few before and after photos.

| BEFORE - Castoff linen waiting to be UPCYCLED! |
 |
| AFTER I used a stencils for the map directions and spots. The water-based fabric paint that dries to permanant color. The grids were created using wire ribbon and carpet padding. |
 |
| BEFORE: Tie-dyed cotton from my stash that needed some umpf! |
 |
| AFTER: You wouldn't guess it was the same fabric! The giant grape vine leaves (more than 8 inches) were used as stamps applying acrylic fabric paint to the reverse, more deeply veined side of the leaf, placed on the fabric and then pressed using a brayer. Additional colors were added using carpet padding and sponges as stamps. |
