Turns out you can use tissue paper for transfer paints. I wasn't sure, in part because I wasn't sure which side of the paper the paint had dried on. The tissue paper is so light that when I was trying to rest things on the radiator to dry the tissue paper was floating right up the wall. I got some nice texture from the tissue paper being slightly scrunched as well. I think that is an artifact of the satin I was transferring to, rather than a constant function of the tissue paper.
I also experimented with transferring onto other textures of fabric. I have a startling amount of white felt, so I tried several layers on that, with interesting, if fuzzy, results. It takes a lot of color to get down into the structure of the felt, so it can carry a lot of layers of color, so long as they are all light.

I also worked for a while on the TIF Challenge. I am having detailed thoughts about other topics, but this is what I worked on making. Today felt like process rather than planning, so I just ploughed ahead with cutting and stitching, to see where it would take me.
The thought was alternating rectangles of felt, with leaves on them. I like the stand up seams. I adore the leaves. I have more leaves on sheer fabric to go over the more solid blocks. There is another picture of the larger object on Flickr.
