I was sent some Copic mar
kers to PLAY with by Colleen Schaan, a Certified Copic Instructor.
The first experiment was to see how they worked on Lutradur. I had a piece of painted (used watered down Pearl Magenta Lumiere by Jacquard ) Lutradur leftover from another project. The weight of this piece of Lutradur is 100 grams.
I used E59 Copic sketch marker to draw the tree – no bleeding at all. I wen
t over most of the lines twice, some only needed once.
I used my Black Zig Millennium marker to print “Strength” on the piece of muslin. I stitched the muslin word down, before adding Timtex as a backing, then quilted around the tree and satin stitched the edges.
So, I am very happy with the Copic sketch marker for drawing on Lutradur. Next experiment will be colouring the Lutradur with the markers.
UPDATE:
Tracy suggested doing these for Breast Cancer/healing piece……
I’m one of the featured artist at The Art of the Matter at the Annual Gathering of Ovarian Cancer Survivors in Regina August 13 – 14th, 2010. I think I’ll have to do some Teal pieces…..now to go find some Teal Lumiere. Half the proceeds will go to Ovarian Cancer Awareness & Treatment in Saskatchewan. So THANK YOU Tracy for the idea!!! and I will do some for Breast Cancer as well & sell on my Etsy shop.
