Some opinions please?

Thanks for the warning, you'd think they'd say then on the pack it comes in!

I'm not sure water would hurt them a terrible amount. Maybe it would. Tyvek is a plastic, and the fabric paint and thread are waterproof.

Charlie.

Well, it's not really meant for what we use it for. Anytime that you use something not for its intended use, it's best to check for toxicity. Of course, the Tyvek makers probably never thought "we" artists would be heating and melting the stuff!! Just open some windows (yes, I know it's winter).

Another thing I used to use...film...hello...can we say, why not just fall down and die? LOL!

I actually bought the paper from a craft shop, it had instructions with it too. Very odd.

Charlie.

That is odd...maybe it's been redeveloped for craft use. I know that many graphic artists use Tyvek for book covers ,banners, etc because it takes paint and ink quite well, and of course, it's virtually indestructible, so maybe it has been? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh, I'm just thinking...it may well have been the combination of the Tyvek and the ink? Although polyethylyne can be irritating to eyes and respiratory systems.

Anyway, the beads are cool, not my style, but I certainly know designers who would use them in a heartbeat.

I can totally see them worked into something really cool with lots of silky and fuzzy fibers - very organic looking. Great job :)

Really? I wish I could find some that would buy some!
