Marble Making and Museum Making

I decided I needed to actually make something with the patches of fabric that had been marbled a few weeks ago, but first I needed to test how permanent the paint was. I had read the instructions (!) and prepared the fabric, and then pressed it to heat set it.

Slightly paler, but not too bad! I paired up the patches, found lining fabrics and zips, and set to making zippy pouches.

 The zip colours look a bit random until you see the lining ...

The museum is planning a fashion display which also showcases classic scents of the last five decades. The scent will be sprayed onto silk, . . .could I embroider the details onto the silk? Gulp!

I've done the sample stitch onto silk I had leftover from a previous project, and I'll take it to the museum for (hopefully) approval tomorrow
