Flourish-carpetPage by

It's been a while since I've posted, well, anything. Sorry about that. I've not been exchanging lately, because life just got very much in the way and I didn't dare agree to a deadline I couldn't keep. But I have been practicing. And one night after I had been reading the Night Circus, one of its quotes got stuck in my head. I thought that might be a place where a bird flourish really made sense. (I'm not normally a fan of the birds) And so I thought I'd give it a whirl... or three. The above is what fell out of my pen two nights later. I didn't dare put this is the flourish section, I know it's still really rough. And it probably breaks a dozen rules, but for a practice piece that took on a life of its own. I kind of liked it.
And I think I like fish flourishes. And search-and-finds. Who knew?
Feel free to tell me about the rules I broke. It truly won't hurt my feelings at all. (I know the tail is awash in errors) And I'll keep them in mind the next time I go nuts on a page, promise.
Hoping it makes someone else smile. (Fishes are fun.)
