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

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.
