Inktense

 Well, we made it to the meeting in spite of the weather doing its level best to disrupt things in recent days. We had a lovely day, led by one of our members Jackie, on using Inktense pencils.

                                                                

The lovely flowers in Jackie's lockdown quilts are fabric coloured with Inktense pencils and then blended with aloe vera gel. We experimented and found hand sanitiser gel works fine too! 

The first job was some individual leaves (Jackie has a cunning plan for these!).

Then we tackled some roses. It was really good fun and thanks go to Jackie for the time and effort spent in preparing all the materials for us to play with.

Here's one of Jackie's finished pieces which she has quilted trapunto style...

...And some of the variations we produced on the day.
