I don't understand any of this! I merely pass on the words of others! :)

Wow, that looks gorgeous!
PS: you do a great job of passing the words along... :-D

I decided to try coloring with Inktense pencils after quilting on this practice piece. I colored with the pencils and then used water on my brush. I think the W&N batting absorbed some of the water, so there was very little bleeding.

That is so beautiful! I would like to try your method. Is there somewhere that I can maybe find a turorial? It would be so great, if you could add one to the message board with the other tutorials.
If you can tell me how to find info on the process, I would be so grateful.

I'm still getting inspired by this thread!
My printmaking class is over in two days. It's been very intense but very satisfying. I can really see where I can combine this with quilting. Had weekend plans that just fell through so am going to play, then.

I'm hoping to put the info together soon, so it will be in one post. Scan through previous pages in this topic to see related websites.

Sew glad you will be doing this. I have edit/copied everything in this thread into a Word document for my own tutorial. You have given us such great info. Thanks!

PS: got my pencils, just need to find the time to sit down and work on this.
