The paint I used is Setacolor Transparent paint. One place to buy it is at dharmatrading.com. The paint is watered down before use. I also used orange shimmer paint to give a nice shine to the flames - same brand of paint. Go to http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/en...echniques.html for step by step instructions on using the paints. I found the fabric was nice and soft when it was dried and I set the colour by ironing the back of the fabric. Easy peasy!
