I just now saw the posts on the iris with colored pencils. I'm need to check recent posts more often.

Spectacular! What reference do you suggest to help learn this technique? Or are you thinking about (hint, hint) writing a tutorial for us?

I learned about colored pencils by searching for... colored pencil on fabric.

Read Jill Buckley's blog and just try it.

Be sure you use the clear aloe vera gel...not lotion.

When you shade with the pencils, start with the lightest color. Then add medium shades and then darker. Of course, look for the areas where the light shines and where the shadows are.
