This fabric is 100% Cotton Aida and each piece is hand-painted. Each piece is
washed in detergent to remove sizing, soaked in an activator to better take the
dye, then laid out flat and painted, blending several colors to achieve the
mottling. The fabric is cured for 24 to 48 hours, then it is washed seeral times
in hot water and detergent to remove access dye, making it colorfast. Due to
the hand painting colors vary from piece to piece - some could be lighter, and
some darker. No two pieces will ever be alike
