Where do things go?

I asked QuiltArt online about mandala folding techniques used in dyeing . Mary Ann responded with a link to youtube. I watched it, and thought, hey.... I can do that with paint not dye. So I tried.

First step gather textile paints, muslin squares, foam brush, freezer paper, and start folding. What fun, I folded fabric in several ways.

diluted the paint, dipped the fabric, then pressing other colors on with a foam brush.

look like little candies don't they? Let them dry outside....

in what passes for sun here. I did not factor in the cold temps however and by the end of the afternoon they were frozen not dried. I pried open several and took them down to the basement to dry.
When I went down to get them today, all but the messed up blurry ones were gone. Gone. Poof. I have looked high. I have looked low. I have rooted around. I left them together.
The four that came out great? gone.
The blurry ones fit for stamping possibly? Here...

 I don't know (shaking head) Where do things go? This has to be the worst disappearing act yet. I mean it was just last night! The ones I folded into wedges did the best by the way, and the one from a spiral. Gone.
