I like them all- traditional, contemporary, thread painting, fabric dying, numerous artforms, etc. For the most part, I let the fabric leads me in to the next creation. I know I'm not much into the reproductions but I also know I can never pass up batiks. I've always enjoyed painting and sketch drawing. And this board has helped me expand that by using the Derwent pencils to transfer some of my artwork into quilts. And from what others have said I too feel that quilting is the most versatile art form in the world and that suits me just fine.
