    Well, shoot. Now I have to go to the grocery store! I love the prints you made with the mesh bag and the way you added the watercolor. Very cool!

    • @CarolynDube

      Have fun Amy! And once the mesh is all painty, it is great to use in a collage too!

    Love your results! Here's my tip: lay out a panel of mesh and use duct tape to frame the edges. Flip it over and wrap tape to the other side. Now it will sit flat on the plate and is easy to handle and store. Works with any kind of mesh or fabric.

    I had already kept a bag like that to use but hadn't thought about moving the weave around! Great idea -- and the painting and embellishing at the end made your look fabulous.

    I always lay my stencils of any sort onto a piece of paper and get a print that way. Then you have a positive and a negative of it.

      Love this idea Caroline! I’ve been trying to figure out how to reuse them, since they don’t have recycle stickers on them, and we get so many produce items in these mesh bags. I can’t wait to try this! I’m not sure that I’ve seen bags with movable threads though. What came in that bag?
