The only thing I will say that is different from what was mentioned before is that I have washed my project immediately after finishing it, and heat setting the fabric medium so the project was fully dry, and the none of the color washed away. With other set methods, it may need 24 hours.

Here is the photo I used for the lily. I resized it and cropped it. Then I printed it in black and white. I drew black lines on the paper around the major shapes with a pen. I laid high quality muslin fabric (or have used polished sateen purchased at Dharma Trading Co.) over that design and traced lightly with a mechanical pencil. I used the Ultimate Marking Pencil for Quilters. I started coloring with the lightest shades first and added medium and dark for shading and intensity. I drew strokes of color to mimic the lines in the photo. Finally I used the small, short stiff brush to dip into the aloe vera gel and brush onto the colored fabric. I make sure all of the color has been activated by the gel. I know this has happened, because the colors become more intense.
