Super thanks to you as I didn't know how I'd keep it from bleeding unless I used wax batik or something similar... And batik is LABORIOUS when what I want is FUN! <br /><br />I also did not know that the Derwent outline pencil acted as a resist. I wonder if it colors the fabric and them must be washed away... It was dark and seemed to be a graphite pencil when I tried it on paper.<br /><br />Thanks again, everyone!Pat Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724006295082940515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10774137.post-67017074611981655332010-01-17T13:23:41.413-05:002010-01-17T13:23:41.413-05:00Fabulous drawings.

They seem to blend pretty well for me on the fabric (only used 100% cotton so far). I do most of my blending when first layer of pencil color is wet. Once dry, color is permanent so I then make new wet layers of color to blend on top of dry layers until I'm happy with the result. I've learned to be careful of bleeding though and recently heard their outline pencil acts as a resist. I have one, but haven't tried it yet. I've used a bottled clear resist a couple of times and was able to remove the resist by handwashing it in clear lukewarm water. Took some time to remove resist, but I couldn't see any color loss afterwards. I no longer use resist. Instead, I just add pecil color well away from edge of face/mouth/eyes and then carefully use a lightly wet brush to move color out toward edges. I really love these pencils for fabric work and hope you have a good time with them too. I think that painting with fabric paints and inks is faster, but the Inktense pencils leave a nice, soft hand to fabric, IMHO. I use them all, depending on what I plan to do with finished piece. Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10774137.post-26051617815548562442010-01-17T10:32:59.161-05:002010-01-17T10:32:59.161-05:00Thank you for taking the time to do this and to po...Thank you for taking the time to do this and to post them so we can all see them.
