hey!
the material i used was from an organza bag - you know those gift bags you can buy from craft stores and have a draw string at the top?
eg. http://craft.ontheinternet.com.au/in...anza/index.htm
the material is smooth to the touch but has a pretty textured weave on it which means that it leaves nice, detailed hatchmarks
any material that has a decent textured weave to it will work well for pressing. some girls like to use the rough side of denim, others use random fabric swatches. i just used whatever i had lying around and found that the weave in the organza bags meant it gave a great imprint to my pressed pigments.
