Thanks for posting that. I've been going over in my mind what to do with the large white areas around a giant dahlia. I was thinking tendrils of delicate vines and leaves coming out from the dahlia to the corners. Coloring them against all that white might be something to consider.

That is beautiful, I went to your web page, and love the way you did that, How much dose the supplies run? I am hoping to get on S.S.S. that may take a while. But would like to know the cost. Thank you for sharing. Penny

Have fun, and make sure you post pictures if you try this technique!

I used the pigma pencils that I took a picture of and posted on my blog. I've seen them at Michaels and JoAnn, and you can buy them in a box or one at a time. I did have to do that with a couple of colors - the green and yellow - since I've used so much of them. I'm really only using about 20-25 of the colors in the box. But you know how it is - the bigger box of crayons is the best!
The extender (the liquid stuff that binds the pigment to the fabric) I've purchased from Dharma Trading Co, the link is also on the blog. I've blown through the 2.5 oz bottle, and just ordered the 8oz. (Translation: I've run out and can't color until more gets here!) With shipping, the 8oz was less than $12.00. You may be able to find it locally. Where I am nothing is local, so I do lots of ordering on-line.
I haven't tried any other methods, this is my first attempt. It was CRAZY to do this on such a big project, but I do love how it is looking. Thanks for your nice comments and encouragement!!

I hope this link works , never tried to do it before. This is a quilt that I had kids color on muslin, and made it into a quilt for their fundraiser. Elaine
