I'm like Cea, I'd like to learn the technique you did with the fabric. And, I am also curious about, what is hemicentennial? Paw Prints has a pattern that is similar to the panel skirt, called a "bicycle skirt". I bought it to make my outfit for my "diamond" birthday,

Made up word? Hemi = half, centennial = 100 years, so maybe it's the big 50???

Six weeks!!

Scanned each fabric, shrunk it down to about 2" square.

Using the magic wand tool, I selected a blosk on the skirt, then pasted each fabric in as a texture. (The program came with stuff like brick walls and gravel and brushed aluminium.) These are all .pcx files and they are tiny.

On the hockey stick skirt, I didn't like the arrangement, and unlike Photoshop where you can just back up... so I selected all of the filler print and re-pasted with a different one.

I might do this again when I'm playing with color combos and trims, esp for Civil War big dresses.

--Karen D. this is what 49.88 looks like

Why, shoot, you're just a youngun' then. ;-) I had my "hemicentennial" 17 years ago....
