I really hope I win! I have so many ideas like making vinyl cutouts for the wall and t-shirts.
First craft would have to be creating stencils for applying gesso to fabric, which I will then finish with gold leaf! I have SO many designs for medieval-inspired fabric treatments trapped in my head, and so unsteady a tracing hand!
