Looking for a pictorial quilt teacher
#21
Unfortunately men who quilt/sew/crochet/etc. are a rarity. Just like women are when it comes to mechanics. I would have given anything to have taken Shop when I was in high school in the 50s but nooooooo girls not allowed.

Basketman, your experience with the quilty group doesn't sound like much fun, sorry you were uncomfortable with the situation, however most of the ladies could have probably learned lots from you, little did they know, sounds like they they are the losers in the situation.
Here are the fruits I experimented using crayola crayons, and applying by various means, cotton cloth, sponges and then coloring in circles on the apple and leaf. The sponge just rolled under (see the Peach), and the cloth cooled the wax too quickly, however when I warmed up the cotton I was going to draw and color on, it turned out to be the best method for the application of the color, just had to be careful not to lay down too much color at one time.[ATTACH=CONFIG]507057[/ATTACH]You might want to check out the Derwent Intense pencils as well. Have a great day.

Basketman sorry your experience with that one particular guild didn't go so well. I hope you find another one and have fun with it.
when I took my sewing class at Adult Ed in the early 90s' we had a guy in our class who was there to make himself a particular skirt. we had fun, all of us. my spouse was part of that group to learn how to make his first quilt, which I would not do as a first, Dresden Plate.
