Lint Lovers' Lottery
Delight, oh ye lint lovers of the world! My dryer, Harmonica, collects this colorful lint for me after every load of colorfully dyed fabric. Isn't it pretty?
And now you can have this lint for your own peculiar purposes. Interested? If so, enter my Lint Lovers Lottery by leaving a little comment below on what you would do with this lovely lint. If you are the most deserving of the lint, I shall send it to you where ever you live.

You have got to be kidding, really, that is lint? That is the most beautiful lint I have ever seen.
I used to make handmade paper...and many times would use LINT to add interest...but I don't make paper anymore. Sure pretty though.
Oh PICK ME!! I will make lint clay with it...and it will be gorgeous!!
(but don't tell my husband I am begging for lint on the internet...he will surely think I have lost it)
:)
EEEEEEEUUUUUUUUU the lint is begging to be felted into some art quilts..... love it!!! Thanks for the fun..

Oooooh, what wonderful colors. Lint is great. Hope I win.
Laura,
What a great giveaway idea! Please don't waste it on me though. We love to use lint to start bonfires. Works great!
ps. please don't mention this to the fire marshal either. :)
Pick me, pick me! I would make this into wonderful cloth like I do with yarns...no, not felted.
How beautiful. I would combine it with my thread scraps (from the edges of fabrics after washing) and needlefelt them onto a base to make brooches, and small wall hangings.

I love lint but I don't seem to have much. If I do have it, it's grey and boring. I have a few small art pieces that need 'something' to perk them up. Your lint would be the perfect embellishment.

Well, I can't pass up on the chance to win lint, but surely I could find something to do with it. I'm with Karen, above. My family would think I'm really nuts to be entering to win dryer lint. They just don't understand.
I like to make quilts for charitable fundraisers. My mother has Alzheimer's so I am very interested in donating quilts to the Alzheimer's Quilt Initiative. I sent one to Houston which sold and I am very anxious to make some more. I plan to start working on some as soon as I finish the pieces I am doing for our local arts council. If I won, this beautiful lint would find itself headed to Ami Simms.
I would use it in felting... and fabric paper [paper fabric]. I save my nicely colored lint. In fact I used lint from my blue sweater when I made my 'Moon Series" #4... here is the link:

The whole sky is lint.
I would Love to be able to win it.
Ooh! Ooh! Gorgeous! "Better than Being Boring" is what I always told my kids when they gave me the "mom must be crazy" look. I actually purchased lint (oh yeah!) in Chicago last year. Can't wait to expand my art quilt horizons. Pick me! Pick me!
As part of my 2010 makeover, to never say an unkind word or gesture, to believe only the best in people, to completely and forever lose my sarcasm, I just know these little pads of fluff will do much to make me a warmer, fuzzier person!
I'd make glamorus updo's for art dolls. Marie Antoinette with turqoise hair. Mah-v-lus
Well, my God, you well know I am the one who really needs and uses colored dryer lint - holy smokes, how could you consider anyone else but me. You've seen my landscape quilts and know in your heart of hearts, I am the only viable candidate. Look at my web site and see how I've used colored dryer lint on my quilts; Dryer Lint Etc., Moods of Summer, and Twilight at Paradise....Plus, you know and love me, don't you.....???? I'm good for a good laugh, anyway, right? Miss you, Laura and hope we cross paths at a conference somewhere sometime again soon. xxoo Joyce R.

My lint collection is so paltry! I have been to accumulate enough to use with sheers along with my thread discards and even a small portion of your beautiful hues would put me on my way to create a most unusual art quilt!

Creativity wins!! I discovered a great book that uses selvages and it truly is inspiring. Is there a quilt book that uses colored lint? Then I'm in... as I am on a quest to learn new skills from quilting books in 2010. (for more details see - http://quiltsamplerjournal.com)
well, well well, I would use the lovely luscious lint to make tiny flowers that I would then use them in my art quilts.
oh what would i do with that lint? why use it in my art quilts as I always do, but colors from Laura will make it extra special!
ok,ok,second post, but after reading QA, I just have to add the fact that I am NOT sensitive.
oh dear...
wowee zowee, I love that lint. I would like to trap it under sheers or netting and stich over it with lots of thread to make fish scales with it, Because I need to make a linty thready fish- doesn't everyone?
I would love to put it under my hand-dyed cheesecloth and felt it in some little art quilts. The colors are amazing.
I'm not in need of any lint, but this reminds me of a former art professor where I went to college. :)

colorful lint is a boon for a paper maker. I have not made paper in about 2 yrs, but I have the tools to do it. If you pick me, I will send you some paper made with the goods. :-)
