The lovely people at Sugru sent me some samples to experiment with at the end of last year, and I thought I'd share the results with you! Sugru is basically play dough for grownups. It arrives as this colourful mouldable dough which then sets to become a hard rubber material.

Last week I shared some potato printing I did using fabric paints, and this week I'm going to show you my jungle t-shirt! This was a complete experiment but I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. The fabric paint was hard to paint on because it was difficult to control - the paint kep bleeding through the fabric - but I adjusted my method to make up for that, and I'll show you what I did in
