So nice, Mary!  What type of cards are you using?  I'm not happy with the messy illustration board...Silk is just so gorgeous!

I decided i'd probably be keeping these for awhile, so i invested in the artist trading cards: Strathmore Illustration Board. They are 2.5 x 3.5 42pt thick

Nothing quite like some dyed silk to create silk envy!  Nothing dyes as easily, or as brillantly as silk.  The natural whitness and lustre of the silk are hard to beat, then it takes up the dyes so easily.

From ancient times to now, dyed silk is a beautiful thing to behold.

If you use an on-line source check out European Papers and their ATC supplies.  They have packets of 25 Museum board that are $3.95 plus they have pages to protect,store them. There are also protective sleeves, evenlopes and boxes for their storage.

Thank you both for the info. I am back in town now and back to my dye pots! This is way more fun than hearing aids!
