Yes, pe...That will teach me to read more carefully!<br />Yes, pearlescent is more opaque and probably blocked the light. Perhaps do that after you get the sunprint?<br />xox<br />CBChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946360893710006729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609344179653951733.post-54936802816943991022011-08-03T08:48:22.738-04:002011-08-03T08:48:22.738-04:00Thanks, Chris!

I've used Setacolor for sunprints in the past but I think the difference is the amount of pearlescent in this one. So I know I can still use Setacolors but not with so much pearl. Also, I contacted Jacquard and they said that if I wanted to use their paints for sunprints, I should use their Dye Na Flow.Diane Cadrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854341927839485327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609344179653951733.post-44766718455059437722011-08-02T21:59:35.175-04:002011-08-02T21:59:35.175-04:00Hey Girl,

How long did you expose them? They're pretty dense, maybe you needed more time or stronger sun - what time of day?<br />Keep on going!!! They look gorgeous!<br />xox<br />CBChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946360893710006729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609344179653951733.post-76346048598195350642011-07-30T20:16:47.024-04:002011-07-30T20:16:47.024-04:00Oooh!

The colors should be an inspiration. I can bring you some exotics if you feel inclined -- sweetgum, dawn redwood, katsura, golden raintree, among many others.Tree Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316406189138157909noreply@blogger.com
