ReplyDeletethanks kay. powercotton is a trademarked product from powertex, it's a natural fiber that works great with powertex liquid
Deletethanks Nancy!!! Did you add it to paper pulp to make it look like the picture above??? Appreciate your help & comments on this!!
Deletehey kay, now that I take a closer look, the top angel(gold and brown) is cheesecloth body and wings and a t-shirt dress. the second (green and copper is cheesecloth body, t-shirt dress and handmade paper for the wings, you can see the use of powercotton on my post http://nancylynndonaldson.blogspot.ca/2014/06/powertex-angel.html
Deletehope that clears things
LOL, I meant the picture of powercotton, handmade paper, gauze, lace doilie and cotton shirting. When I went & looked at the powercotton on the site it looks like it comes in stinglike stuff and you pic right above these posts looks like it is a sheet of stuff or???? thanks again for all your trouble in this ???????? Smiles, Kay
