Quilt Marking Tools I Tested 38 Quilt Marking Tools So You Don’t Ruin Your Quilt By Hailey Stitches Included Frixion pens, water-soluble markers, air-erase pens, chalk, pencils, and more—to find out which ones are actually safe to use on your fabric and which ones can ruin your quilt. I put each marker through real-life tests on light and dark fabric, including heat and washing, so you can mark your quilt with confidence instead of fear. If you’ve ever worried about permanent lines showing up at the worst possible moment, this beginner-friendly quilting experiment will show you Quilt Marking Tools exactly what works and what doesn’t. The winner was Sewline Styla Water Erasable Fabric Pen, watch the video to find out why.

Speed Paint some daffodils with me! Since painting the crocus the other day, I have been painting some daffodils and I filmed one set to give myself some practice. I still suck at it, but you might like to watch nonetheless.

Also, for you watercolorists out there NOT using frixion pens to draw out your design first... I, I just don't even know what to tell you other than no more pencil marks when you don't want them! Seriously... no. more. pencil. marks. Wanna change your design mid way? No problem, because the heat gun takes care of the marks for you. These markers are so cool!

Sigh, my black Frixion pen ran out. Pretty quickly too! It was a replacement for the previous one. But this time I bought a refillable so I'll have to buy refills. No idea where but hopefully I'll come across some, or I'll have to seek out a stationary or art store. I'll probably buy another of those animal pens to replace the blue one. (Unless Frixion sells those bigger ones in blue as well.) Those also have refills you can change, and luckily these are pretty common in book and gift stores.

A material test and art for a fanfic involving the Treasures of Ruin, called As Above, So Below,. I'm sort of piloting a cool idea I had for my fanfic, which is incorporating my art. Since that's where my muse wants to go.

I figured that I'd combo it with figure drawing and a test of my Frixion pens (fineliners and wedge tips) on Rocketbook's reusable notebooks.

I love using these pens overall - bright colors and erasable ink is honestly great on normal paper. I'm now using them exclusively in my planner because it's bright but I can change things up if needed. I also am using my rocketbooks (bought on sale, so half off, haha!) and they have their challenges but it appeals to my recycling heart to not have to buy a new notebook or "waste paper." I was sort of hoping to use my graphing one for art practice or very colorful pen art.

I was disappointed. The scanning app did not like the markers, and the phone camera could only do so much. The colors got washed out. The markers also smudged on the rocketbook paper even when I used a special glove. Putting marker on top of marker didn't work out well - basically like a whiteboard.

The rest is due to my own artistic inexperience, but this was ultimately a material test and a way to express my OC/an OC that is only sort of half mine.

I arranged the images in photoshop to create depth and drama and cleaned it up, but I didn't put too much effort into it. I used Quickposes for pose references.

Day Fourty-Four-

THEY'RE ALL SO CUTE

I didn't realize until after I drew them that they all look like they're supposed to go together like this- That was a complete accident.

My favorite is the top left one, Pippet from Prodigy as a human.
