Okay-So I have no clue where to ask this question, but I have a small kit that includes some fabric eggs and a fabric book with some markers suitable for use on these things...And it doesn't have any instructions on what to do when one of the markers dries up, or any description of the markers, etc. I bought it at a yard sale (I love yard sales), so I'm sure it isn't new, and I can't find one online, so I'm not sure what to do because the pink is obviously drying up. I have included some pictures of the first egg (where I am almost halfway finished with coloring it) so that hopefully you can see the differences in the coloring of the pink from the top to the bottom.

Also, for anyone else with experience with these kind of projects: How do i make the color "set"? Any ideas?



The fabric egg and the markers:

Top of the egg:

Bottom of the egg:


See how the pink goes from a vibrant shade to what appears like a shade that has been "washed out"? And I was actually coloring over the same place several times to even get the washed out effect...

I looked at the tip of the marker and it looks like it has dried out a tiny bit. Would a drop or two of water on the tip or IN the marker (the bottom comes off pretty easily, these are obviously cheaply made) help with this problem?

Arrggh.

Help?
