Normal inkjet, Vizma - all will be on its way tomorrow!  I put this as a status comment - must be tired - have been working on a fabric portrait today - have posted a little of what I've been doing on my blog - http://auchenflowertowhereever.blogspot.com if you'd like to see what else I do other than mailart - all fabric based!

Wow Chris! You are too sweet! You've made my day! I get mail art from you and a gift to try, I can't wait! And you can use it at home on a normal printer?

Oh - alright!  I'll send an A4 piece - I'll also send a piece that I have copied on to - there is no preparation needed nor finishing - it's good to go & do with whatever you want.  You can buy a couple of different types of fabric.  Peel off the backing paper before you use it or not - if that's the look you want!

Yep, Vizma & it's as easy as photocopying!  I buy fabric by the roll - it's backed with paper & you cut off an A4 size & put it in to the photocopy - & print off the photos or whatever you want.  I buy the rolls from Essential Textile Art (Sue has an online store) -it looks really great!  I haven't tried it - but I reckon as long as you make sure the fabric is secure on a piece of paper, you could use anything that would feed through.

Photos transferred to fabric? Can you do that?
