Thanks for the tip about self rising flour too~ so sweet that she choose family for her T-shirt, and so sweet that your son helped with her creation! I can testify that acrylic paint does NOT wash out of fabric :) There is a product called fabric medium you can mix with the acrylic paint but I swear I don't think it's necessary.

Wonder if you did that on purpose? I often pick a teacup that matches what I'm wearing! haha! That teacup is exquisitely painted -- what a keepsake.<br />I was going to a meeting last year where we were going to listen to a missionary from Africa talk, and we were supposed to bring a dish. I brought congo bars (get it??). I remember them fondly from childhood. xo Deborah<br />ps that T-shirt looks quite professionally done.Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727701576171648502.post-90830982158292052432017-09-12T07:37:37.173-05:002017-09-12T07:37:37.173-05:00Your Great Aunt Kitty was a very talented lady...t...Your Great Aunt Kitty was a very talented lady...the tea cup is SO beautiful!
