Doug Hughes – Hand drawn and then completed using digitising software

Leith Cohoe – Leith produced this piece by alternately dipping the same nib into blue and green Ecoline inks.

Jenny Fowles – Jenny used watercolour for the background foliage and Ecolineink for the text.

Jenny used Ecoline inks to produce the look of watercolour for the background for her Uncial practice piece. This piece also featured on the May issue of Quiilo Talk cover

Leith Cohoe – Moonshadow Mist sprayed as the background with the text written in black ink.

Thea was inspired by the Quote of the Month from the Guild’s newsletter Quillo Talk, to create this piece

Martin made this piece using the technique ‘Orizome’

Martin used the words by Jack London to surround a pattern made with the Japanese Orizomegami technique. Orizomegami is the Japanese art of folding and dyeing paper to create vibrant, repeating patterns.
