Thanks for posting the link, but really I'm not that much the wiser after looking at the website, as it closely resembles a stiff tulle or net, and its not nylon but polypropylene. I presume its the little veil part that goes around hats, so regular netting or tulle could be substituted? Once its glued and gelled and painted, there would be very little difference in the look and the feel of the product.

This is interesting, but here in the UK I don't think we have crinoline. What is it please?

Vivika, So glad to see your embracing the Crazy Painting side of things. I just love the techniques.. I have been playing with mediums, glues, paints etc on fabrics for years now.. and for some reason it is a constant tool in my toolbox of things to go to. If it doesn't have a gel medium or paint on it.. it just isn't me. Let yourself free and embrace these wonderful techniques. Enjoy! Von
