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.
