Derwent Inktense Pencils on Fabric Tutorial
#11
Linda, your flower and using colored pencils reminds me of the 'Venus of Paradise' coloring projects I bought when I was a very young teenager.
How awesome to reproduce such beauty for a quilt project.
Looking forward to seeing the complete flower.
Blessings,
Sandi

I made this Zentangle Leaf with the pencils and used the Pentel Gel Roller for Fabric pen to outline in black. The pen works great on fabric; it rolls so smoothly with the lightest touch. I used all of one pen and a little from another, so a project like this can really "eat up" the ink. I ordered two boxes of 12 each, so I'm set for the near future. After doing the search below I could have bought them for less, but I got free shipping at the Amazon site.

Jane, how do you suggest that I go about darkening the flower center but still making it look like the real flower with spikes? In real life the center is like a round mound with pins poked in it, basically.

You could use a wet brush on the tip of a pencil in the desired color to remove some color. Place it in a drop of water. Test on practice fabric. Add more color if needed. Brush the colored water onto the fabric.
You may need to darken the spikes with another color. Let me know how it works.
