Fugitive Media (watercolour pencil crayons)

Last month's technique at And Then We Set It On Fire (a group surface design blog I'm part of) was Fugitive Media - where you use items normally meant for paper, on fabric.

I started with this piece of fabric I had dyed with procion MX dyes back in May. This was my second attempt at producing a mandella.
I thought it looked quite a bit like a flower, so I decided to use this piece to produce a flower using fugitive media. The first thing I did was....

Add some blue water pencil-crayon at the tips.

Then I added some green to the blue. You'll note I haven't done any blending whatsoever, because I knew that would happen naturally once I "painted" it with water.

I enhanced the pink lines that you see in the photo before this, with a fuschia water pencil-crayon,

and the added medium charcoal at the already feathered ends. Then I drew in some actual petals with a watercolour crayon (as opposed to a watercolour pencil crayon).

Now, when all of that was done, I blended the colours by "painting" it with water. And then in order to change it from a "fugitive" media to a "permanent" media, I painted it with a 50/50 mix of base extender and water, and hung it up to dry.
