Although I bet you could set it with hairspray - that's what we used to do in school with pencil work, lol. <br />I like the Inktense pencils on fabric - they can be heat set and the colours are lovely and vibrant. There are some really stunning examples out there of work on silk scarves and so on. <br />Well, at least I gave you both a good laugh! :) Think we all need that a bit at the moment. Are the recent fires close?<br />Using only what you have in hand is good practice. I try to remember that and then decide I really need a different colour all together... back to the how many lifetimes can we create in? Although I am still thinking I need to come back as a very lazy and spoilt cat. <br />Thank you for the extra on the PS - he does, rest assured. Silly physician though! Hope the horn got stopped easily. Take care, keep warm - get that flannel sorted ;) xxxGina-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640906981065529894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6019967611762651725.post-36569268961197427012020-11-05T15:17:43.800-08:002020-11-05T15:17:43.800-08:00It is a good thing I did not have a mouthful of co...It is a good thing I did not have a mouthful of coffee when I got to your last paragraph yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fell on the floor laughing, Don fell on the floor laughing, we both fell over laughing some more - I am not kidding when I tell you that talking to you every other day or so is my one and only foray into computer communications - I don't and can't do anything else. This is just simple enough that I can get my head around what to do - a blog would kill me! I don't even send my own button club messages though Don probably wishes I would sometimes. My writing gets messy when I hurry. And for sure I am not able to put up pictures, etc.,etc. But thank you for the kind thought. Getting this far is a real triumph for me. I used to get distressed when Don set me up to write a daily note from England and I lost the cursor over the edge. I can at least squiggle around until it shows up again. One difficulty is that our teaching and learning styles don't mesh - makes some things very very tricky. No more bleating! We will just take what we can get.<br />This coloured pencil on fabric - do you heat set or anything or is it just for show not blow? Seems to me it would be a good method to emphasis embroidery that was a little duff or beef up a singleton type. In fact I just ran across a few bits of dress fabric that have cute little figures - not sure they are worth embroidering but a dab of pencil might be perfect. I will find the camera and use it and get Don to put up pictures - I will!!<br />No red fabric - I will have to stop looking for it completely and try to forget about it - that always coaxes the stuff out from under it's hiding place. I did find other bits and bobs that will be of use in the assemble and complete bings that I am on. I'm quite pleased that I've only had to go out once to get some seam binding, a red cloth tote bag and more extra heavy duty Vilene. I think a big part of the fun is only using what is here in the house. You are right about remembering where stuff was three reorganizing attempts back - it is a surprise to remember moving it to a "better" place. <br />Got a bit long winded today - must have been that decent amount of sleep! Must get dressed and scrag the person blowing a car horn outside - I think it is a child but around here it could be an adult! Stay warm and dry and well. Do the thumb exercise and wear the brace.
