LET'S QUILT DAY

Today, Louise Coghlan demonstrated the use of Derwent's Inktense colour pencils.
These colouring pencils have a lead made of ink.  The colour becomes intense when a medium such as water, Aloe Vera Gel or a textile medium is applied to the hue.
Louise explained the effect of the different types of medium when applied to the colour.
Water tends to make the colour spread out into the fibres.
Textile medium keeps the colour from spreading, but there still is a minimum of spread.  Whereas, the Aloe Vera Gel keeps the colour where it is applied.
Brushes were also mentioned. The one Louise prefers is a short rounded bristle one.
​Louise demonstrated on fabric how to colour and also brought samples of her work in quilting art.
