AS always, Josslyn is wearing the green shirt and Brielle is in pink...
The following is a direct copy of what I found on her blog...
Copic On Fabric
People ask me frequently if you can use Copic markers on fabric. The answer is YES! They look great on fabric. A few things to consider:
1. Red inks will bleed when washed, so either use colors besides red (or brown since it has red in it) or only work on projects that won't be washed.2. No need to heat-set, the markers are permanent
3. The markers will bleed out as you color with them since fabric is so absorbent. To avoid this just heat up the fabric before coloring and the alcohol will evaporate quicker, causing less bleed.
4. For a fine line you can use Copic Multiliners, however, those do need to be heat-set.
5. Don't airbrush on fabrics, since the dye doesn't soak down into the fibers enough.
6. ALWAYS work with scratch paper under your fabric.
When Stamping on Fabric to be colored with Copics:
Try using Brilliance Ink, Heat-set for best results. Sherrie Siemens has done many projects on fabric with Copic markers, so check out her blog for more examples.
Otherwise, enjoy playing with Copics on fabric! I have a couple pairs of jeans I've drawn on and I love how the markers look.The photo above is from a scrap of white cloth that dyed with Copic inks, then I went in with the colorless blender and added drops and swirls in for texture. I made this about 4 years ago, so I don't know what colors I used, regular cotton fabric (though any fabric works).

ReplyDeleteHi Barb!
ReplyDeleteI love these t shirts. They look awesome. The girls look so adorable. I was wondering how they would wash up. Wow! you would need to be so careful to get it right the first time. You are very clever and thanks for the tutorial. I have Promarkers but I guess they would work the same. (one way to find out).
