sure you can wash it. is there a law against it?

what will happen to the cloth or the washing machine is another story. buy a new one.

i mean, will it fade?

it might fade but might not...

I've used plain aerosol on t shirts and they tend to fade a little.. but more in the cool vintage type way. I've never used 'oil paint pens' though.

you can definately buy textile mediums from craft and paint shops though, which you could just paint over the top of the drawing, iron/heat fix and then all should be fine. If you dont want to do that.. maybe draw something on a spare piece of cloth of similar textile makeup.. and put it through the wash a few times?

good lux

post pics of it??
