Then research it by finding old threads that cover the topic OR add your own new thread with a WIP or demonstration, or a summary gleaned from the threads and your own knowledge. Just post your contribution in the forum with the subject line Learning Library – subject.Contributions will be reviewed or edited as needed by the new Library project managers. Should your contribution be a link to information other than on the WetCanvas site, be sure to obtain permission to use the information.The following categories are just the bones. We will add more as suggested by you, and look forward to your participation. Thank You, and Enjoy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." --Dr. SeussNovember 28, 2009 at 10:10 am #506001Thanks Linda – couldn’t have done it without you!! :thumbsup:
edit: For those who volunteer to gather information for the Library, here’s a little tip on doing a search that is much quicker than using the WetCanvas search, and allows 3-letter words:
Use Google Advanced Search – use https://www.wetcanvas.com[/URL%5D as the domain. You can add a date range if you wish.

It is a big task, and you have gotten so much done so quickly. Such a contribution to not only Watermedia, but Wet Canvas. :clap::clap: I look forward to seeing it grow, with the help of of little community here.

Proud to be published in Art Quilting Studio magazine and educating about wool at The Great Dickens Christmas Fair.December 14, 2009 at 7:11 pm #506003July 21, 2020 at 9:32 am #1315016Anyone have the direct links for the neocolor ii threads? I think the site redesign has lost them. I tried a search but honestly the functionality is almost unusable (or I am a troglodyte).
Similarly, does anyone know if thee is a thread on here anywhere regarding mixing neocolor ii colors to create new colors? Again, the search function isn’t much help to me so far.
Thanks all.
