    Does the fabric media make the fabric stiff ?

  • @LadybugsCabin
    @LadybugsCabin3 ай бұрын

    If you use a lot of it in one area you'll feel a bit more stiffness, but some of that can be washed out once your project is dry. I try not to use too much medium while working and therefore the hand of the fabric (or the feel of it) remains soft and plyable.

Also, I'm wondering if it might work under a heat press that's raised just high enough above the fabric or shirt. The scientific principle is capillary action.

    The fabric will feel a little stiff when it dries in the sun, but once you wash your fabric it will feel like normal. It can make a difference with the type of paint you use, or if your ration of paint to water is a bit more towards paint.

    I just happened to run across this video, I have been wondering for some time how to color fabric. I don't sew much anymore since my friend sold her EllaGeo we sure had fun. I am an artist and a beadweaver, have gone back to my first love of drawing and painting, but have been thinking how fun it would be to paint one of my designs onto a shirt. I still have a couple of shirts with patterns that I designed and embroidered with the Babylok. But so happy to run into this video. I have all those pencils and also have the watercolors. Can the watercolors be used the same way as the pictures? Do you know of any other derwent watercolors that would work and what about alcohol inks? Thanks again for you great video you did such a great job, you are a natural you taught it so well and easy to understand and I learned so much from it so appreciate it.

    How lovely to get your note! I hope you have a great time exploring with your paintings and artwork on fabric. (and I hope you'll share a photo when you do!) Yes, you can use normal watercolor pencils on fabric...but you can't use water with them, you'll need to use fabric medium and be sure to heat set them after you are done. Working with the Inktense pencils on fabric will feel very much like doing watercolor on paper, except that you can't lift a color once it is put down..but you can let the color dry and then add other colors on top. (to create highlights or alter the color). I am doing an online class on the 25th of March if you are interested. (you can find out more at sewbattical.com )

    They are different than normal watercolor pencils due to the ink in the mix. They work great with water, but you will get a more vibrant color should you like, and they don't require using textile medium to use on fabric. You can use normal watercolor on fabric but you can't just use water and have the color stay permanent.
