To me, that matters not at all, but to a purist and to anyone wanting to work solely on paper it might. I'm of the opinion that I should use all the aids / media that help me to obtain a certain effect. I have yet to try out how well this directly works on fabric, although I've printed my photographs of ink drawings onto fabric. Watch this space for further experiments!<br />I rather think Quink is only available in the UK, where it can be bought in blue, blue-black, red and green in addition to the black I used here. The red and green are hard to find and I think that the black is by far the most useful in producing interesting effects. Details can be found on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quink and it is available on Amazon as well as other sites on Google. I hope this helps.<br />Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-59189763459612121872015-09-30T12:38:28.676+01:002015-09-30T12:38:28.676+01:00What gorgeous 'marks'!

Looking this up has made me aware of the variations. I may even order a few more!Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-5368673344144051422015-09-27T12:58:57.261+01:002015-09-27T12:58:57.261+01:00Good to hear - thanks for your comments.
