Derwent Inktense on Printed Fabric - Love Letters Mug Rug Kit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2018
- Today I had some time to get creative with my Love Letters Digital Mug Rug Kit. I printed on 100% cotton with my laser printer and used Derwent Inktense pencils to color in and dye the fabric. Let me know if you have questions, I'd love to help!
These are the products I've used in today's video as I am an Amazon affiliate :)

Lisa! I sent you a little note not long ago on Facebook, stating how I stumbled upon your
channel by accident. I was not looking to be a quilter, but ... instantly became a fan of yours.
I was specifically looking for a good product, paint or ink for fabric. My gift is drawing and I
wanted to find a product that would allow me to utilize drawing and painting on fabric. Being
a new fan, I do watch and learn from you. I stumbled upon this video and Lisa, this is exactly
the product I had been looking for in the first place, I just didn't know what it was. There are
no accidents when God is working and connecting and I am certain you were not a stumble
find either. Thank you so much for all that you share and how you share. You truly are an
amazing instructor. Love Love Love!
I love your refreshing point of view! My professional background before becoming a "professional quilter" is that I was a restoration artist for a company in Williamsburg VA, and have been painting since I was 15. I love every aspect of painting and with different mediums :) The Intense is by far one of my most favorite methods!! I do highly recommend them, and as with any other medium, they do have their fair learning curve to go along with, however, every bit of working time with this product has been a joy. I appreciate the awesome feedback and am thankful that you are following along with my videos!
There is a product called STOP FLOW by Sennelier - it prevents DYE from spreading, and I would imagine it would also work with this product as well. I have DERWENT inktense products - so I will try this method on an idea I'm working on.
I love your laugh Lisa!! You are fun to watch!!
Absolutely beautiful, Lisa!! Great job!! 💜
Alice Bair thank you so much!
So glad I happened up on your videos. You teach stuff that I’ve been curious about and didn’t where to find the answer. Thank you
Joy Chalkley awesome! I'm so glad I've been able to help :)
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again......I love your videos!
Another great Video. Love them .
wow i can't wait to get started on this...great to add to my daughters quilt i'm thinking of doing with your antiquing method...you've inspired me to so much more and now i find myself thinking what quilt to do next while i'm working on one...lol...thanks again.
Ivette Lopez hahahahaaa join the club!!! I have project A.D.D LOL
this is a fabulous idea & I loooove my Inktense pencils to colour with so this is a great way to use them
I was in Heaven when I came across a video about using Inktense on fabric!! I just love this method and had to share :) Thanks for watching
Fantastically made . My daughter bought me a set of these pencils a couple of years back. Didn’t know what to do with them. Great idea Lisa.
ohhhh I think you are going to LOVE them once you start playing around with them :)
I really like using the inktense pencils they make wonderful pictures. Your Mug Rugs are so amazing.
Sharon Kimber the colors are very vibrant..these pencils are by far my favorite :)
Really, really cute! My mind's wheels are really turning!
Yay!! I love to hear that :) have fun!!!
Fabulous Lisa and thank you for your teaching today
My pleasure, thank you so much for watching!
I made some amazing fabrics with Inktense pencils and blocks and was crushed when almost all the color washed out! After watching your video I'm asking myself if I heat set the color. I don't remember any directions about doing that. Now I'm going to try again. Thanks!
Here's a little tip of mine: I use cheap hair gel instead of aloe vera gel (it's much cheaper and the bottle is huge!) Another way to apply it is to pour it on the fabric and drag it over the surface with a plastic card. This quickly fills all the fibers and preps the surface for the color. You can still blend with a brush or other tool as you go along. Fine lines will hold their definition. This also works great with thin fabric paints and stenciling.
Thanks for your cool ideas!
The Inktense products come with very vague instructions. I think they are primarily made for paper. However, due to the nature of the ink, many people use them on fabric as well. I surely would heat set the image you create after it is dry. MOST of the time I use Inktense on my art quilts and projects that don't usually go through the wash, however the items that have been washed handled fine. Try heat setting and see if that works for you :) Great idea about the hair gel! Hmm.....I'm almost wondering if maybe that was a reason the color didn't set in???? I don't know that the hair gel would make a difference vs. aloe.....maybe something to experiment with :)
Also my shirt, after washing, a lot of paint was gone. It was a test. On my trouser (work) it stayed. My shirt was a cotton t shirt my trouser polyester. And I have ironed the both.
that is so interesting! I'm guessing that the shirt had been prewashed before applying the color? I haven't ever tried it on clothing items. I'm glad you were doing a test. It would be worth experimenting and finding a way to make it "stay". Thanks for sharing your results!!
Lisa Capen Quilts, Yes it is my painting shirt. So i have washed it many times. I have ordered now golden gac 900. I saw an test on UA-cam and the colors stayed with this after washing (in the machine ) and ironed it for 4-5 minutes. So I going to try that. I am a teacher, so when I say something to people it must be the right thing.
Thanks for you’re answer 💐
Hello lovely Lisa I just love this darling little rug. I live about 2 hours from Keswick in Cumbria where the original little Derwent factory was. It is now their museum, they started making pencils around 1880 I believe, it is Beatrice Potter country. I bought a lovely big box of these pencils when I visited there last so am going to try a new rug today as it is too snowy to go out today. I hope you don’t mind me saying but I hope your arm heals quickly it looks sore so take care of it - many years ago I was a nurse/midwife. You have wonderful day and thank you for your fabulous tutorials they are so clear and precise. I think you would make a fabulous radio announcer as your voice is so nice to listen to. Big hugs and loves from a very snowy U.K. xxxxxxxxxx🙋🏻😘❤️
Dorothy Griffiths sounds like a lovely place to live!!!! Thank you ♡ I had surgery on my arm a few weeks ago...although it looks pretty bad still, it has healed a LOT! I had melanoma skin cancer...but they got it all and no more cancer ♡♡♡ These pencils are wonderful, would love to go to the museum, enjoy!!
So happy they got all the cancer!! I wish they could take mine out and I could be healthy like everyone else!! But I still have my quilting!!
Tricia Thurman-Beckman hugs to you Lovely ♡♡♡
Can't hardly wait til i can get a kit
Debra Norton this was a LOT of fun today :)
Great! Thank you! My MIL and I have been looking into how to make Derwent inktense more permanent.
I’m soooo happy about this video. My happy is happy. 😆❤️
Essence of Me hahaha, I like that...my happy is happy.....awesome
What fun!!
I just ordered a set! $20 on Amazon can't beat that.
Windy Stroud woahhh that's cheaper then Michael's even with coupon I think.....you are you going to have fun!!
I'm going to need to stop watching your videos hahaha! This is just too cool , not to try!
Hi Lisa bless you I will remember you in my prayers. I would love to take you to visit if you ever come to the U.K.. Lisa I follow a lovely lady called stitchesbyjulia and she does lots of free motion embroidery and uses these pencils. A little while ago she did an amazing experiment to see which pens/paints stayed out after washing. I love her channel like I love yours. You might already know of her - she is based in the USA. Thanks for always leaving a comment Lisa it is great to hear from you. When I first watched your vlog I thought the heater noise was her husband vacuuming up for you😃😃. Big hugs and loves as alwaysxxxxxxxxx🙋🏻😘❤️
Vacuuming hahahaaaaa no. I have also subscribed to her channel, so much inspiration from her!!!! You and I are a lot alike ♡
I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed this video. I love coffee staining my fabric for that vintage look. Haven’t heat set because I have been doing pictures.
Ohhh, would love to see what you make with your coffee stained fabrics :)
Lisa Capen Quilts will post as I do them! I coffee stained a piece of muslin that I am going to stitch leaves and a stem on- which I will then paint with a watercolor effect with Neocolor 2. Will then make a yoyo flower to attach to stem and finish it off with a small word ( maybe BLOOM) that I will cut out of coffee stained cardstock. I got this basic idea from stitchesbyjulia. I am also exploring using drop cloths for projects. So many ideas so little time!!
Lisa Capen Quilts unfortunately I can’t post a picture on UA-cam comments.
Looks like you had fun. Going to get myself a kit and some impotence pencil with my next pay
Debra Norton it was a TON of fun....I love painting anyways so this is right up my alley hahahaaa
There is a product called STOP FLOW by Sennelier - it prevents DYE from spreading, and I would imagine it would also work with this product as well. I have DERWENT inktense products - so I will try this method on an idea I'm working on.
Did it work?
@@CaleanWsh YES! it works I also use a product called RETAYNE - check it out, it helps keep dye from spreading ... sorry, I didn't see this message come in.
Thank You for your videos.
You are so welcome!
Tricia I hope you don’t mind but I am sending you lot of love and best wishesxxx🙋🏻😘❤️ Dorothy
It's sad that it fades with repeated washing! I was going to use this idea on a baby quilt label. Glad I didn't! Will keep searching for a way to keep things permanent! I love the idea Lisa! Even though it won't work for a baby quilt, doesn't mean it won't work for a wall hanging!! :)
I have those pencils and love them, you can also pick up ink directly from the pencils
Which ends up being softer after heat-setting - using the aloe or a fabric medium? You can also 'pull' color by touching the brush to the pencil. Love all your videos especially this one.
Gypsy's Mom you know....I think it may depend on which brand medium you use.....some may be softer then others. Thanks for watching ♡♡
Love This Lisa!!!! Love your Tutorials!!!!How do u clean your brushes???
the brushes clean with water when using Derwent :)
I'm totally smitten with your project, and I've just ordered a set of the pencils..can't wait to try all this, new to me stuff! Question.. your sewing machine.. do you love it? ..I've been looking for a new one and would love your opinion. thanks!
knittingismylife I have a Singer Patchwork sewing machine.....and it is a work horse of a machine!!! Not one problem in three years, and I piece together some heavy duty quilts! The only thing I wish it had was a hovering option, like when doing applique and stop stitching, the foot lifts slightly allowing you to move your work without manually lifting the presser foot.....AND in my opinion the throat space is a tad bit small. But I can't complain, this machine has been faithful!!
Hi Lisa
Love your work and learned how to stop bleeding fabric when painted.
I watched a video that may help you to stop fadding after washed. Watched: Quilt Videos-Quit It! 702 Doodle Quilting @about 34:20 segment 3. Take Care.
thank you so much for passing that along :)
I enjoyed watching your video- did you trace the outline on the fabric or run it through a printer> does this bleed as you paint?
I printed the design on the fabric with my laser printer. Printing results vary on fabric according to the type of printer/ink/toner that you use.
I would love to see these same blocks after they are washed. Mine faded.
When you wash it 2 times the colours become less. Also polyester stays longer as cotton. For cotton I use Gac 900 and iron it 3-5 minutes.
Also for shirts.
.
how did you transfer that design onto the fabric? i want to make a decorative pillow using these ink pencils and a sharpie. do i have to heat set it?
I printed the design directly onto the fabric :) I'll show you how I did it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DfzTXlkQr5o/v-deo.html
This is nice as well. Another question for you... Where do you buy the aloe vera gel? Thanks
Colleen Murphy I got mine from Wal-Mart :)
Where did you get your aloe. I have been unable to find it. Love the videos 😎
I found mine at Wal-Mart :)
Lovely! Thank you. 8-)
Thank you!!
I did a facemask with a watercolor effect using Inktense. And water it passed 2 washes. Y try now with Inktense and medium. The colors are brighter but not sure how well will go with washes let's cross the fingers
At least on paper, these are definitely not light fast (it's one of the big drawbacks of this medium to many artists since their works using these won't stand the test of time). Also, I wonder if thinning down the aloe vera gel with a mix of water and fabric medium (instead of plain water) wouldn't help with setting the color into the fabric.
That's interesting about being light fast......I did an art quilt about 2 years ago and the colors are still as vibrant today...I wonder if it's because with the fabric you heat set it with the iron? Interesting.....
Different colors have different lightfast ratings. Looking at the list, the ones in the sets are the more lightfast colors. Not a bad idea to check the website before choosing colors for work that will be displayed long term or sold.
There is a product called STOP FLOW by Sennelier - it prevents DYE from spreading, and I would imagine it would also work with this product as well. I have DERWENT inktense products - so I will try this method on an idea I'm working on.
Love this technique! What laser printer do you use?
Wakemewhenits Over I have a Brother :)
Sorry Lisa I meant stayed put not out, message went too soonxxxxxx
Dorothy Griffiths I do that all the time.....hahaaa
What happened...there is a loud noise in the background?
Lol....that was the air conditioning
Got it! lol Thank you for this demonstration, @@TheQuiltmakerHomestead I'm attempting to do some Art Wear with Derwent to get a look I can't get with Acrylic paints. I purchased them a couple years ago, but they didn't have enough information on it's usage. I don't do quilts … lol But I do upcycle Art Wearables. thanks for this information via your video. Juliana
sounds like an interesting project! Hope it all turns out well and the Derwent works the way you want it to. I think a lot of the results vary from fabric to fabric.....giving them some test runs would be a good idea......ohh....that sounds fun! hahaa...enjoy!
What in the world happened to your arm??? I can't concentrate on the tutorial!!!
sorry LOL! I had a mole checked on my arm.....and good thing I did because it was melanoma skin cancer! Had it removed....and besides the scar we are all good.
You might want to check out Gerson Institute about Cancer issues & natural healing. Listen to her videos and take it to heart - she is very well known for her work. She is on UA-cam - Charlotte Gerson is her name @@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Sometimes a Melanoma is a sign of bigger issues lurking...
@@bjulianaleo3025 I will look into it, thank you ♡
@@bjulianaleo3025 interesting! I'd like to know how that works!
that's kind of a rude thing to say - and why i don't make my own videos. i have a skin condition and i know i would get hurtful comments.
