Transferring lino images to fabric

Needing some more designs for my small embroidery samples, I tried out rubbings of lino cuts using Inktense pencils on my tea stained calico.

On the left, I "set" the Inktense using a brush and water.

In the middle, I wrapped some of the fabric behind the lino to minimise movement as I did the rubbing.  It was then sprayed lightly with water to set the colour.

The one on the right I have left dry.

I did attempt to keep the pencil rubbing as close to the edge of the images as possible, but there has been some staining of the surrounding fabric.
