Experimenting

Yesterday, I took out my Inktense water soluble pencils and blocks. Before using them in a project, I needed to see how they react on cotton. Was the colour intense or washed out? Use dry or wet fabric? Use a fabric medium? Some questions to consider.

This time, I was only interested in how the pencils and blocks looked on white cotton. I marked on dry cotton and used a wet paintbrush to spread the colour around. Of course, without a textile medium, the colour ran with the water.

Here's some links to more information using the Inktense Pencils / Blocks:

• Inktense Fabric Paint Tutorial, another HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE
• YouTube using Inktense Pencils
• Printmaking with Inktense Pencils
• Quilting Daily (August / September issue)
• Using Inktense on Fabric

YouTube has lots of tutorials using these pencils.

Now I have to do some more reading and experimenting!

I've also linked up with The Needle & Thread Network.
