| eBay 5 pack of palette knives for $5(AUD) |
 |
| Pebeo 100/129 palette knife. I was actually impressed by the eBay palette knives, I was expecting them to be flimsy and poor quality but are the best palette knives I've used. Definitely goes to show that even in art price doesn't equal quality all of the time. I mostly use palette knives for mixing paints or laying paint down for a large block colour, I still rely on brushes for detail. |
 |
| SetaSkrib and Zig fabric markers are the best, around $6(AUD) each I think, but are the best for planning out a fabric painting or naming/signing shirts. |
 |
| Brush tip of Zig compared to the tip of SetaSkrib. |
 |
| Zig 2mm tip compared to the same SetaSkrib tip as shown before. |
 |
| Fabric dye available for $4(AUD) on eBay, I find it's easier than the more expensive Idye's available and has a good range of colours. |
 |
| These silk and cotton fabric paints are great if you already have brushes but otherwise i'd recommend the fabric markers. |
 |
| Kids fabric Crayola markers are great for someone thinking about fabric art but not wanting to spend a lot of money, these average for about $10(AUD) for a pack of 10. |
 |
| The flat and round brushes I use most. Both synthetic #4. |
 |
| I acrylic tube I kept from chocolates proved to be a great holder for those delicate little brushes, currently holding my to favourite large detail brushes. |
 |
| My Mont Marte taklon detailer in #1 was only a few dollars yet proved to be a great brush for travelling, I use it with watercolour more than other paints. |
 |
| One of my favourite brushes for fabric painting, I use a taklon round brush in #5. |
 |
| Applying two medium pressure layers with the Inktense pencils produces a dramatic, abstract and bold effect. |
 |
| Colour swatches from the 6 pack of pencils, using Pentel water brush produce such vibrant colours. |
 |
| The thick strong cores are resistant to breaking and need less sharpening than a student grade pencil. |
 |
| Colours displayed on the end of pencils allow for versatile storage as you can easily see which colour is which. |
 |
| Pentel water brush in action, slightly stained brushed tip but still has a great output. |
 |
| Such a small brush but it feels like the water lasts forever! The one i was using here was the fine tip, sizes range from extra fine brush tip to a large tip. |
 |
| Super flexible brush bounces straight back into shape. |
