My local Michael's only carried the white and smooth transparent kind so I had to rough up the surface myself. I was surprised at how well it worked and how beautifully the color came out after baking.
I decided to test the shrinkage out by tracing a mandarin duck I drew a while ago. They give you measurements and an estimated percentage but I like to see for myself.
Here's a side-by-side before and after shot. I placed it on a Moleskine "Classic Large Sketchbook" (5.25 x 8.25). The colors are so much more vibrant after shrinking!
I plan on turning it into a brooch of some sort but I didn't plan it out well enough. I should have punched holes around it as a border so I could sew it onto some felt. Oh well, maybe next time!
