Fine details were printed from the photo onto Printed Treasures photo fabric and fused. All edges were stitched.

Clarification:
The clear aloe vera gel or diluted FABRIC MEDIUM activates the color. Heat set when dry. Wash out the aloe vera gel/fabric medium.
Then apply GEL MEDIUM brushing only on the watercolored areas. This makes the color permanent...more than just heat setting...especially if it will be washed.
Gel medium is different than aloe vera gel. Buy it at Michael's or an art supply store.

To solve the problem of colored pencils being colorfast when washed...
Use Derwent Inktense pencils. They are permanent after color is activated. Pencils can be ordered in sets of 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and individual pencils (great if you run low on certain colors). Inktense Products list: http://www.pencils.co.uk/productlist.aspx?mid=718
Activate the color with water if you don't mind bleeding or want a color wash effect.
Activate with clear, aloe vera gel (not lotion) to prevent bleeding.
I haven't experimented with length of time between drying and washing to remove excess dyes and gel.
Read this Derwent website about using pencils on fabric with fabric medium...dry 24 hours and then heat set.

You may need to wash and dry and then continue coloring if there is too much gel build-up and color doesn't seem to be penetrating the fabric.

Inktense brochure
http://www.pencils.co.uk/files/uploa...rature/604.pdf
This fabulous pencil from Derwent combines the brilliant intensity of pen and ink with the versatility of line and wash. Inspired by the traditional painting styles of the East, Derwent Inktense can be used dry for rich, intense colour or washed out with a little water to create a vivid translucent effect. Once dry, the colour is permanent and can be worked over with other media. The information in this brochure was published when the first 24 colours for this range were launched. Since then the range has been extended to 72 colours.
