Oh, and I forgot to mention, good scenic paint, like Rosco Super Saturated, is intended to be used as a fabric dye when cut with water. Good brilliant colors, too. And a black that is really BLACK.

It looks like dirt, but the material isn't damaged. If you want "wear" on seams or hems, try sand paper (hold wrapped over a block of wood).For a spot where the fabric is worn, try gingerly holding fabric (with something hard inside, like a dowel) against a grinder. Work slowly. Dipping hems in watered down paint looks like mud stains. You can drip wax on the material and then iron it out. It usually leaves a darker mark. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pauline Loven Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 11:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [h-cost] Help with 'breaking down' costume Hi Can anyone direct me to some good tips on breaking down or ageing costume - does anyone know of any books, booklets or web sites that might be useful?
