Earlier this week I had a session outdoors with painted used dryer sheets, which I distressed with my heat gun. Great fun, but very smelly and definitely something to be done out-of-doors.

The differences are subtle...but I'm leaning toward the second one. I don't think hand stitch alone would get me the effect I want -- it seems to be all (the dryer sheets) or nothing at all. Any thoughts?
