Wonderful everyone! I really enjoy seeing everyone’s work.
Today I worked on flourishing some of the words I wrote out yesterday. It’s going fair. I consider it a practice page. I am learning a lot from doing it. That by itself is valuable. I find myself spending time trying to make something beautiful out of a series of unintended mistakes: blobs, smudges, not so graceful curves, etc. Also a learning experience.
I’ll try to finish the page and post it on another day. In the meantime, I’m also looking at plenty modern and historic examples by accomplished pen wielders.
Today I also played with some soluble graphite products, as well as ink, on a journal page. And some metallic pencils (pink and blue), jumping off the word for today. Sometimes I don’t bother removing the penciled-in guidelines. Both are below.
