How To Use Derwent Inktense Pencils on Fabric
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- I conducted a little experiment using Shiva Paintstiks to create stencils, and then colored in with Derwent Inktense Pencils. To move the ink around on the fabric I used Liquitex Fabric Medium, and plain ol' aloe vera gel.

Thank you so much! It wasn't hard...just some photo shelves and fixtures from Ikea :)
Wonderful, wonderful, so glad to come across your video. Very helpful. I have these pencils and blocks. I had only a partial understanding of their use. Thank you for helping me out.
Oh I am so happy to hear that you found this helpful! You are absolutely welcome :)
I love your work space!
+Valerie Headrick Thanks a lot Valerie! I set it up myself with help from Ikea ;)
Oh yes! I agree with them! Nice studio and presentation! Thank you.
Thank you so much. You're welcome! :)
Great video! I don't have to do the experiments with water/mediums because you did it for me -- I can just get right on with my project. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching Claudia. Happy you found this helpful :) I apologize for the late response, as I didn't realize I had comments!
Very good and informative video. Thank you.
You're welcome Jane. Thanks for watching! :)
I just found your channel and I am thrilled. I see we have a lot of the same interests. And books we like. I love all of Julia Cameron's books, love Spoonflower and have had Lecien fabric approach me about doing a fabric line for them. I am a quilt pattern designer and used to have a quilt shoppe. Now I am really into my journaling, writing and art.
Love your channel, and I look forward to going through your videos!
Yay! Thank you so much for reaching out and your kind words. We definitely have a lot in common :) That is amazing. Have you started working on your fabric line yet? Any pictures of your quilts online? I'd love to see because I'm smitten by quilts too. "Journaling, writing, and art"...I'm right there with you!
I have a blog: Thescrappyappleyard.blogspot.com
And on the fabric line, I am fine tuning my style and learning about art. I knew nothing when they first asked me.
I look forward to getting to know you!
Thanks Lou. Love the look of that journal, very inviting for work play 👍Do you cave any vids with tips on making books easy stitches, papers use, or can you link to any you have found useful?
You're welcome! I absolutely love bookbinding, but come to think of it...I really haven't done any. Thanks for the idea! Have you checked out Sea Lemon's videos on bookbinding? Hers are the best.
Very good video. I want to paint some blocks for a quilt.
+Sue Woods Thanks Sue! Oh that would be nice :)
Excellent video.
Thank you so much!
where i buy all that thing can you tell me i really need that all thing
You should be able to order it online at Amazon, and the fabric medium too. Also check with your local arts/crafts store.
Hi Loi .. thanks a lot dear for the video.. l have a question please, does the aloe vera gel works excellently lthe same like Fabric medium, I mean the piece of fabric will be washed safely ?? Thank you
Hi Hala,
Thanks so much for watching. Fabric medium is always ideal since it's made for that purpose, but the aloe gel works just as well for blending the colors. With these pencils you can heat set the fabric, so you shouldn't have any issues with washing and the feel of the fabric is the same since they're not like paint. I apologize for the late response, as I didn't realize I had comments!
Thanks a lot Loi .. have a nice day

You're welcome! :)
I use Aloe Vera Gel
or Spray Starch all over the fabric!
Cool beans Judi! I never thought to use spray starch. Thank you!
Hi Loi Laing, when it dries on the fabric does it smudge or can I wash the fabric and it will stay on there?
Hi Chesa. The Inktense pencils can be heat set on fabric, so you can wash it. Just iron on the reverse. Also, if you use the fabric medium that helps it to set even more. Make sure to test first. Hope this helps :)
oh okay. awesome thank you so much!! :)
You're welcome! :)
I used aloe vera gel, did my detailed painting on silk, ironed to set the Derwent and because I had silk dyes on the background, I steamed the piece and no problems. Then when I washed the piece three days later, ALL my Derwent work went down the drain! Can someone help me figure out what went wrong? I also use hair spray on silk when I want the dye to stay in place and not run.
Oh my goodness Karin! I'm sooo sorry that happened to your work! The only thing I can think of is that the silk dye in the background probably affected the Inktense. Did you try the Inktense by itself without the silk dyes in the background? Always make sure to do a patch test. I hope you can try again and make something even more beautiful. Jacquard and Pebeo also make fabric paints that work well too.
Can you use degree to inktense pens on fabric
Hi Thomas...can you explain a little more?
