I've found the pencils at dickblick.com. I love the set of 72. At dickblick.com you can order individual pencils, too, if needed. Prices have changed at this site since I ordered mine. Search the internet for best prices including shipping.

My three threads regarding this process here on the quiltingboard:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...g-t131922.html
I was exploring the process under this topic using Derwent Watercolor pencils and later changed to
Derwent Inktense pencils. Ideas changed along the way with input from others.

Go to Post #340 - This is a Tutorial for Derwent Inktense pencils on fabric (9-18-11) with added information regarding Loew-Cornell fabric brushes and the Pentel Gel Roller for Fabric pen. Artist trading cards and bookmarks are also included. This is the most complete tutorial.

I had come to some conclusions under this topic. The tutorial here is brief (3 pages) under the guidelines of writing tutorials without websites. It is just three pages from the longer tutorial at post #340.

I love my Inktense pencils. I bought a set when I was at the Grand Rapids AQS show. I also got a water brush to help set the colors. So far, I've only been playing a little on my son's quilt but already I love them.

Stunning!...What a wonderful idea. I have several questions for you if you don't mind. Are these regualr watercolor pencils? I have some but didn't know if they would work...no idea what kind they are..Aso, you mentioned aloe vera gel, is there a special kind?..Where do you purchase the products? I would love to try this technique..Thanks in advance..

I haven't had good luck with regular watercolor pencils. The Derwent Inktense pencils, in my opinion, are superior to any watercolor pencils. I don't know if there are other brands of ink pencils on the market.

The Fruit of the Earth aloe vera gel should be clear and can be found in the hand lotion section at Walmart which I have found to be the least expensive so far...$3.99 for 12 oz. I really do like the 20 oz. pump bottle for home use, but Walmart doesn't stock this size. I take the 12 oz. bottle with me "on the road" while working when riding in the car.

What a great technique! I've never tried this but I'm tempted now. Sometimes you just gotta get outside your comfort zone.

I've used the Derwent Intense and Love them.
