What is the Best Inktense Product on Fabric? Pencils, Pans, or Blocks?

[@gaylebyron4494]

That was a great way to show how these work on canvas. I did try quick flower on white cotton. I have the pans. I was surprised how pretty they turned out. I thought it would be cool to do small panels for a quilt with hand painted fabric. Maybe one of these days. Have a great day Stephanie ❤

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Oh I’m so happy you gave this a try! This is so much fun! I will be trying more techniques with the different Inktense products soon!

[@janwalkingstick1393]

Great exhibit of the products and wonderful visual comparisons! Thank you. Jan

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

So happy you enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching and commenting- I hope you’ll share the video with your creative friends

[@SerendipitySoulFluidArt]

Thank you so much for showing such an inclusive comparison of these products. I am really not familiar with Inktense but I’ve seen you use them several times and I love the way they play. Each seems to have their own value and each seems to have different pros and cons depending upon the substrate you’re using them on. These lessons are so valuable, Stephanie, thank you so much for doing them and for showing us just how far outside of the box we can push our creativity! ❤

I like the blocks..I've used them for quick drawings, like when on vacation, then when I'm home I can finish with water, and sometimes ink for detail!I have oil crayons too..love em!!

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Yes!! Blocks are my favorite too. Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m so happy you are here

Appreciate your review of the products. I’m hoping to use that technique along with embroidery. Thanks

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

@@susandevine714 wonderful! This is great for combining with embroidery and any thing that uses fabric. Have fun creating your beautiful world!

[@lisecousineau]

I enjoyed your video.._it s nice to see the differance of each ones..and of course your drawings are always beautiful

Thanks so much for this video - very happy I got the blocks 🤗

Have a blast creating! Thank you for watching!

This is awesome . Thank you so much.

So happy to hear that! Thank you for watching my friend!!

[@michellecampbell4194]

I already have the pencils and the pans so as much as I might like to get the blocks, I think it might just be a waste of money. I will use the pencils, maybe in conjunction with the pans to get bright colors. Thanks for this video! I’m going to be making shopping bags for the cat charity I volunteer with, it’ll be fun.

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Oh I would save the money for certain! Way to go on making the bags for the cat charity- I love how giving our creative community is!

[@salemdog100]

Thanks for sharing this information, it's very helpful! I like the way the pencils look the best, maybe because that had the most product applied...? Is the inktense product permanent on fabric??

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, it is permanent on fabric- I would hit it with an iron and wash it in cold water. It is so fun to use the Inktense in many ways.

[@micheleking1114]

I like seeing your comparisons of the three. I have had the pans for a couple years. I painted canvas shoes and they are bright and vibrant. So I was surprised by the outcome for you on your bag. I must have used more product? I recently bought the pencils but haven’t used them yet. I chose them over the blocks for ease of use & more control. I want to paint fabric blocks that my sister will then turn into a quilt. Great video- thank you!

[@denises9455]

Always love your videos

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

I always love seeing your comments! Thank you for being here in our creative community!

[@taketimetoseait396]

Always interesting..and so informative, thank you.....also this week found Elizabeth St Hilarie from cali... the premiere format is a different style

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Thank you so much for watching I appreciate your support!

[@mjrewerts]

I have heard about these for years and just bought a small set to try them out. Q: If your color comes out too dark, can you lift some of it out while it’s still wet? Thank you for the excellent video!

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Yes, while it’s wet you can lift and scrub out much of the color. But you can never get it to compliment go back to the paper /fabric color- it will always stain

[@teckasantana9763]

Thank you very much.

[@6962943]

this is so cool

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

@@6962943 Whoohoo! So happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching. If you have a chance to share the video I’d really appreciate it.

[@melissaherivaux7838]

Once it's dry, can you wash the bag if it gets from use?

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Yes you can!

[@andreals3922]

Have you tried washing the bag yet, to see if all 3 types have the same amount of colourfastness?

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

@@andreals3922 yes I have washed the bag and it seems to have held 90% after several washes- it will probably fade more over time but any dyed fabric will fade.

[@andreals3922]

@@DeliberatelyCreative That's great to know, thank you

[@michaelineleppan9214]

The Blocks though I do have pencils and enjoy both

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Have fun with what you have! Thanks for watching

[@marlenaamalfitano2727]

My pencils are very vibrant,as are my pans. I found them comparable. I d not use them on fabric. I am sure paper type really matters. I use 100% cottonpaper., usually hot press, but I love trying them with different finishes of paper.

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

So much fun to use our supplies on new surfaces! Thank you for watching-

[@ginavinciguerra451]

I’m torn between the blocks and the watercolor.

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

You can use the blocks just like the watercolor! Bonus with the blocks is that you can pick them up and draw, sketch, color and paint.

[@ValerieSpence-uw2lx]

How did you keep the colors from bleeding? I tried this with hardly any water and the edges still bled. Thanks :)

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

If you are doing this on fabric you can use a fabric medium as your wetting agent instead of water. If you need to use water don wet all the way to your outlines. Stay back 1/8-1/4”.

[@sandycrawford1469]

I use aloe vera gel instead of water. No bleeding.

[@ValerieSpence-uw2lx]

[@CindeeSchroll]

Blocks the best

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

@@CindeeSchroll Whoohoo! I really love the blocks but all the forms of Inktense have a place to be used. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@marlenel3926]

but is it permanent? washable?

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Yes it is a permanent pigment after it is activated with water or fabric medium on porous surfaces

[@thecheekyquilters]

@@DeliberatelyCreative do you use any fixing agent? I know it’s ink and permanent…. But someone recently suggested I use a fixing agent anyway. 🤷‍♀️just curious what others do.

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

@thecheekyquilters I don’t tend to use fixing mediums much. I like ease of just grabbing a cup of water and the Inktense. You can was the items in cold water with white vinegar as a fixative.
