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.
