Sorry I'm so late in submitting this, but I've finally finished my quilt!
I was inspired by the wedding invitations, where the couple is surrounded by a door of roses, full of happiness and sweetness.
The pattern was drawn with oil-based pen and embossed on cotton, and the roses were knitted with fabric.But I don't think I've got the desired feeling of the roses this time, I may need to test it more, since it's been delayed for too long, so I'll leave it like this for now!

This is a delightful piece and beautifully done Momo. You must be so pleased with it. Rosemary
ReplyDeleteMomo, definitely worth waiting for. It is exquisitely executed and with your very special signature touches of the knitted roses. I think you captured the romance perfectly. Hilary
ReplyDeleteI agree....worth waiting for. A delightful piece. I think your roses give the pefect splash of colour surrounding the couple.
ReplyDeleteI's a lovely piece Momo. What is the oil based pen?
ReplyDeleteI think they are what we called Markals. Fat sticks of colour. you had to leave them to dry for quite a while and they had a strong smell. Very popular at one time. I think they have improved the medium a lot now. Hilary
ReplyDeleteI wondered if it was Markals, which I have used, but I think it was the word pen that threw me!
ReplyDeleteIf you google 'oil paint pens' a whole new world of markers opens up. Things have definitely improved and moved on since those smelly rather clunky Markels. Almost tempting to investigate and try a few out. Anyone already used some of the newer types of oil paint pens for fabric? Hilary
ReplyDeleteI've just had a look, and I'm tempted: they would be brilliant for line work, though I'm not sure they would work for stencilling, which is how I like to use the Markals.
