He brought me home 4 different effects and would have brought more but I had to stop him just in case they weren't much use. It says on the bottle than they can be used on most surfaces including fabric.
This morning I painted a piece of cotton with each of the four different effects. The photograph isn't too great as they are drying in my studio at the moment. Hopefully I will have better photographs when they dry. I want to wash them once they are dry just to ensure they stay on the fabric and don't wash out. There is nothing lost if they don't work as I can paint my boring plant pots to give them a new lease of life.
He also brought me back some stencils which were also £1, the smaller ones were 50p. You can't go wrong with stencils can you.
I completed another small piece that I may make into a cushion. The colour purple (reminds me of a movie) and butterfies - my favourite colour and butterflied my favourite motif together!

Nice of your husband to bring the goodies home. I like purple and butterflies too. It will be a nice cushion.
Ha great minds think alike, I bought some of both the stencils and the effects paints the other week too! Love B+Q bargain!
Norman what a sweet heart he is.
I love the purple with the butterflies, the design is so cool..
Carol, I've nominated your blog for an award for being so inspirational - you can collect it from my blog.
What a thoughtful man! And I like your purple piece.
Are you sure you don't want to give him up Carol? lol
