Fabric pens and a journal page

                                             


I recently bought some fabric pens called Fabrico dual markers and I found they didn't bleed when i drew on fabric.So I became a little carried away and drew some flowers and insects with one end and then used the brush end to paint in colour. I didn't stop to think at all and straight away used my sewing machine to add embroidery.Then because the drawings were random I decided to paint the back with Golden's matt gel so I could cut them out.I still wasn't sure what I could do with them and tentively cut out just one and made a journal page.


I then found a small quilt I made a few years ago and have been thinking how I could make another using this same way of  creating the insects and whatever.
       
  This is just part of the quilt,I used what I had because at that time i was able to buy lots of second   hand silk sari  materials.I have very little left now which is sad because the colours were always so
