Tee Shirt Tweak

Sometimes the best craft hacks are the simplest! As any marbler can tell you, an abundant supply of rags convenient to the work space is essential. So is the ability to clean one's hands between prints.

I like to have a clean, dry rag available to dry my hands with, but it always seemed to wind up getting mixed in with the increasingly soggy and paint saturated ones at my work station.

Then I took some old t-shirts and cut them up, leaving the collar intact. I hang one on a hook in the bathroom where I rinse and hang just-printed scarves. When I rinse and dry my hands between prints, I no longer have the frustration of fishing around for a rag that's not going to redeposit paint back on my hands just as I'm getting ready to handle the next pristine white scarf.

It's such a small thing, but this improvement has had a surprisingly large payoff in terms of convenience and efficiency!
