And Blackwork is EXACTLY like the crosshatching concept of pen and ink- the denser the pattern the darker the area.<br /><br />@Drucilla- I was stuck too, and there's not a lot of online resources, but I'll write a roundup/tutorial too.MarieEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255440089611626603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117189575507833506.post-43355033473359110392010-10-19T15:47:09.872-04:002010-10-19T15:47:09.872-04:00really lovely marie! i want to try it as well... ...really lovely marie! i want to try it as well... i'm not sure how to begin though.Drucillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228978343783804866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117189575507833506.post-35496542028295962572010-10-19T14:09:58.302-04:002010-10-19T14:09:58.302-04:00Its lovely!Its lovely!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999711983585051357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117189575507833506.post-38715359201309069802010-10-19T08:03:41.952-04:002010-10-19T08:03:41.952-04:00Beautiful Beautiful!
