You can mix your own colors and it will not be as expensive as fabric painting pens. The aloe washes out when you are all done. You would need to use a setting agent on it. If you use acrylic paints which are cheaper, can thin them down with the gel too so the fabric will not be as thick. This will not bleed or cause problems when laundering. I just heat set it when I am done with an iron and a paper bag on top of the fabric.

Henry, I cringed when you said you were washing it. Why
wash it? Isn't it going in a frame? Also, beside using the crayon you can use the colored pencils. What a great
project this is. Also, there is a product that you can buy to add to regular acrylic paints, so that you can use them on fabric.
