One of the best IMHO about how to use them, with what and the durability is:

I did put a fabric medium (Liquitex) over the white base cloth I did with stencils Friday. I believe it is slightly lighter (hard to tell as photos differ depending on the light). At this point it is very stiff. I will iron it and do a gentle washout and see what happens.
The black piece I was so disappointed in is even more of a disappointment. I used the same fabric medium and it made the marks much lighter. After it dried I wet it and did more color on it over texture items. I am not at all in love with it. Nancy, it is not nearly as lovely as the piece you gave me. It is drying now but I don't think that is going to make any difference.
I am guessing my original thoughts were right and since these are inks/dyes you can't cover black or dark colors not matter what you do with Inktense??? Prove me wrong!
Thank you for allowing me to lurk!!! Robbie you created a wonderful website......and I'm simply loving all that you gals have done. I'm flattered that the Fiber Junkies, a group of 6 that I organized years ago was Kay's inspiration for the development of your group!
ReplyDeleteKay - try it with Paintstiks - iridescent. They have stronger colors. I will bring my dark piece using Inktense next month.
