I'm so excited to share with you how Faber-Castell art products work. I've been a big fan for decades and use the Pitt Artist Pens for all my art journaling and drawing. Here is a quick look at one art journal project utilizing Pitt Artist Pens in Black…sizes XS, S, F & M:
Here is my 1st Helmar Design Team project to share with you and I'm really excited because it was created using canvas fabric. I wanted you to see how well these products work not only on paper but also fabric. The first thing I did was use HELMAR's Fray Stoppa to reduce the fray on the fabric. LOVE THIS STUFF!
Once dry you can remove any stray strands and be insured that it won't fray anymore. This is how Helmar's Fray-Stoppa looks after it's completely dry…that is a selling point for me that it totally disappears on this fabric. I would suggest that you try this on a sample of any fabric you use to make sure that it is color-fast.
Here is the finished Canvas Corp Canvas Tag using 4 different Faber-Castell products…Gelatos, Pitt Pastel Pencils, Pitt Artisit Pen & Art Grip Aquarelle Pencils.
I used the Gelatos on the small canvas piece that was pre-printed with the frog scene {Basic Grey}.
The Prima Resist Border and handmade leaf was colored with the Art Grip Aquarelles.
The Studio Calico Wood Butterflies were colored with the Pitt Pastel Pencils.
I traced a border with a Pitt Artist Pen in Black {S}.
The border and frog canvas were attached to the Canvas Corp Tag with HELMAR'S Fabric Glue. After completing the canvas tag I felt like it needed a 2nd leaf so I created another…both leaves were attached at the top only, with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, so they would float above the frog. The wood butterflies were also attached with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. I just love this tag and it reminds me of a favorite fairtytale from my chilhood, Thumbelina.
Here is a close-up of the bottom of the tag:
I hope you enjoyed this project and it gives you some inspration…stop back each day to check out what the rest of the HELMAR Design Team is creating during this week of showcasing FABER-CASTELL. I will be back on Fri. with another project created with Faber-Castell products.
