Oh that is too cool. I want to pick that up tomorrow and try it. Where can I get those pens and the aloe vera gel? My residents would love to do this. Should we use embroidery hoops to stretch the fabric or do we tape it to the table? pm me with more detailes please :thumbup: :thumbup:

I am in love with your "lily quilt". I love the look of the watercolor pencils. I would love to try this myself. I want to make sure I understand exactly how you did it. Using high end muslin you trace your design onto it, then you apply aloe vera gel to the area you plan to color with the pencils. Do you use any particular brand of aloe vera gel? I would appreciate your assistance. Thank you.

Hobby Lobby has the pencils. But it only a 12 pack.

Love your flowers! I took a class with Velda Newman and learned to use the inktense pencils (and bleach and resist and acrylic paints). Never thought I would paint on a quilt, but I loved the effects! She has a few books out on how to do this. Got to see her Zinnias quilt - 8 feet high and 18 feet long! Gorgeous!

It helps to press freezer paper to the back of the muslin when coloring and applying the gel to stabilize the fabric.

Check previous pages to find out more about the pencils and gel.

I color with the pencils and then apply the gel afterwards. Check page 9 to learn about the gel.
