Very nice.<BR/>I have no idea about your blue & white piece except it is very interesting. Looks oriental. Your blue & white pieces are nice,too. I am always attracted to them. You sure got some great buys. Our Goodwill stores never have anything that good.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-54398504087630103932008-06-25T09:35:00.000-07:002008-06-25T09:35:00.000-07:00I love the blue and white theme.

Your blue and white dishes are very pretty, and so is the pillowcase and embroidered table topper.

Looks a bit chinese to me (but that could just be me:) and they have numerous backgrounds for their puppet "shows". On the other hand I could well be completely wrong *lol*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-77580529218579516132008-06-24T07:16:00.000-07:002008-06-24T07:16:00.000-07:00I'm going with the idea of the person using a wax ...I'm going with the idea of the person using a wax resist. Maybe they cut the pattern out of something like contact paper, stuck that down on the white fabric, then painted over the entire thing with the wax, then removed the contact paper and dyed it blue. The waxed part stays white and the wax itself comes out by using paper towels or something as pressing cloths and ironing over it repeatedly with a hot iron. I THINK. Or not??? I love it, BTW! I say frame it!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063217257923006591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-6938498710964484622008-06-24T05:45:00.001-07:002008-06-24T05:45:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-74527889490427941082008-06-24T05:45:00.000-07:002008-06-24T05:45:00.000-07:00I wonder if the original fabric was the blue.

I did this with t-shirts when my kids were little (actually they did this, I just got the supplies together). We used leaves from around the woods, but that's how there was a dark image, with no bleeding and light background! I'm just sayin...Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-88657503989853888132008-06-24T03:02:00.000-07:002008-06-24T03:02:00.000-07:00Kim, your blue and white runner looks like somethi...Kim, your blue and white runner looks like something my DGD might do at art school.
