Oh my goodness . . . just beautiful! I have been watching KZread videos on how to use Inktense pencils on fabric for over two years, and you are the FIRST artist who has EVER mentioned the "outliner" pencil! What a game changer! I--of course--only bought the set of 12 Inktense pencils which does not come with the outliner. I will soon be purchasing some of these for myself. THANK YOU again for this wonderful video!

My pleasure! The outliner pencil is a must have (well...I must have it at least!) I do have some sets of inktense on sale on my site if you're looking for a good deal...and might even have some single outliner penciils too)

Having just splashed out on some Inktense pencils this was a fab-u-lous tutorial to give me the confidence to try a watercolour technique on fabric. I’m a great dressmaker, but a poor artist, and wanted to create a special gift for my mother this Christmas. As she is a botanical artist, but now in her 80’s with arthritis, she has changed over from watercolour to coloured pencils. I have started to make her a pencil roll to store her fancy watercolour pencils. I am decorating with the Inktense pencils using Tim Holtz autumn blueprints stamps as my outline. I was having trouble controlling the bleeding but now with your help I have got to grips with the basic technique. I know she’ll love it however it turns out, but now I will be proud of my gift. Something positive has come out of 2020 for me, thanks to you 😊

I’ve watched a number of inktense videos starting with Helen Godden in Australia and slowly getting to use paints on fabric with Free motion quilting (FMQ) and understand how the medium works to confine the color spread. Muslim apparently also can do that but I’m a quilter so I have already used it to embellish or alter the fabric I have rather than buy more fabric. Love the outline and fabric iridescent medium I’ve Not seen those elsewhere and this is a good review on basic techniques as well. My next project will be a landscape panel of my own. I do use a light box to transfer coloring books, stencils, or just photographs taken from uncopyrighted items which I alter. So I am reviewing a lot of the videos to refresh my knowledge and ran across this one, and like the additional sparkly medium, I want to try that. I usually outline with a fabric marker and stitch over that. I also didn’t know freezer paper could be used as a transfer medium. I also have used friction pens and Clover makes a white one for dark fabric those are iron erasable!

@LadybugsCabin

Жыл бұрын

Sounds like you are having a great time playing and experimenting! I used friction pens a few times, but had the color come back after a while, so I'm a bit wary of them now--although I know lots of folks who use them and don't have any issues. I love using freezer paper (to help stabilize my work as I'm coloring), but I do still have to trace the lines on to the fabric..it won't transer the lines for you. :)

I've watched every video I can find on using Inktense pencils on fabric. Yours was one of the best. This is the first time I've heard of iridescent medium. Is this medium specifically for fabric? If so, what brand name? I found iridescent medium online for acrylic paints, but I'm not sure that you can use it on fabric, particularly if you wanted to wash an item.

@LadybugsCabin

3 жыл бұрын

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! My favorite Iridescent medium that use the most is from Liquitex. While it is not specifically made for fabric, it works well on it. www.ladybugscabin.com/shop/c/p/LIQUITEX-IRIDESCENT-MEDIUM-x31792984.htm I have not had any issues with washing items that I've used this on, and sometimes if I just want to add the shine without color I paint it on fabric directly. Start with a small amount first as it doesn't take much, and let it dry to see how much shine you've got before adding more...it's easy to overdo it! :)

Fantastic video! I want to use stamps to make a particular fabric design for masks for myself and was having trouble with the inktense color spreading far outside the lines. You gave lots of great tips that help immensely. Thanks! Is Delta the brand of medium you are using?

@LadybugsCabin

3 жыл бұрын

I use a few different mediums. Delta works great, but so does the liquitex brand. There are a number of brands out there, and I have yet to find one that I don't think works well. Use your paint brush (stiff) to bring the color out toward the line instead of coloring right up to the line and it will also help in keeping 'the creep' from happening!

not to take away from this great video but if you, like me, already have derwent watercolor pencils (and can't justify or afford inktense) the watercolor pencils work GREAT with the fabric medium process! I tested today with liquitex fabric medium on cotton and heat set with a dry iron. The color stayed vibrant and did not wash out with hand soap. The test I did with just water and pencil washed right out.

@LadybugsCabin

Жыл бұрын

Yay! That doesn't take away anything at all! I do mention it at one point that you can use any watercolor pencil and the medium to bond it with the fibers for fabric (as a number of us do have collections of great watercolor pencils :) But I do love the ability to use water as well--which is why I'm such a fan of the Inktense. Keep playing and coloring! The world will just get more beautiful :D

Thanks! I learned a lot! I’m thinking of using my Inktense pencils to “decorate” a white jean jacket. I think I should practice before starting the jacket. My question is, will denim respond differently than a cotton fabric? I wouldn’t want any big surprises!

@LadybugsCabin

2 жыл бұрын

Denim can be made out of pure cotton (which means that it will take the color well). If your jacket has a blend with some synthetics then it might not do quite as well. I would do a small little test inside the jacket before you get started on the outside design. And work with some other denim scraps prior to that to get used to working on a slightly rougher surface than flat cotton as well! Let me know how it goes!

What an excellent tutorial! Although I used Inktense Pencils a few years ago to make some curtains your demonstration taught me a lot of new things, especially the use of the outliner pencil! I had just never used it. I have one question: I have a large bottle of fabric medium, rather than buy another bottle of iridescent medium could I add glitter dust to the medium I have to get the same effect? Might that work? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and beautiful work with us.

@LadybugsCabin

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Nicole! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :) (and check out my website if you want a good deal on the pencil sets too) Textile medium can be added to acrylic paint to make it color fast on fabric--so in essence all textile medium/fabric medium can be used with acrylics...as can the iridescent medium as well. It just so happens to also work great to activate the inktense pencils and still give you some control on where the color spreads.

Love love love this video. As other have said you do cover the topic well and offer many methods to use the coloring. I have a trapunto quilt that has already been quilted. I would like to add color to it. Will the color bleed to the backside?

@LadybugsCabin

2 жыл бұрын

You can color on your trapunto quilt, but I would suggest only using the textile medium and not water as the batting can act as a wick and let the color travel to areas that you don't want it in. Start slow and add bits at a time to make sure you don't get things too wet as you work. If you would rather have softer more watercolor look then do a little at a time using water and let things dry inbetween so you can have a bit more control. (and it's always a good idea to play on something similar (even if it's just a little test project) to see how it works with your combo of batting and fabric :)

@LadybugsCabin

I have washed projects that I've colored and had great results. I think the most issues I've heard of fading that people have experienced have come from prolonged direct sunlight exposure. Most important thing to remember is that the colors are not permanent until after they have been activated (wet) and then let dry. If you have some pencil color that didn't get fully activated and you get it wet to wash, that bit of pencil can either wash away or spread to other areas.

I'm glad you found me :) Yes, you can use a hairdryer or heat gun to speed things up if you like (be careful with the heat gun of course so you don't damage the fabric!) Just like any colored fabric the more washings it goes through the more things can fade...but the fun thing with these pencils is that if you ever want to bump the color back up again you can! :) I don't tend to wash my quilts much (or if they are wall art--at all) but I have done some testing on projects to see how they launder and I've been really happy with the results.
