That’s quite the formidable D. spatulata. Very cool!

If it occurs in a flower, the flower head will often look distorted and stretched, if not “double-headed.” The technical term for this is “fasciation.” Here’s a Gerbera bloom on my balcony that fits that description.

Occasionally, if you spend a lot of time gardening, you’ll come across a plant with some parts that look unusually flattened or crested. This can occur in a variety of different tissue types (e.g., stem, fruit, and flower). #Gardening #Gerbera #Flower #PlantSky 🪴

The sunflower from last week opened fully a few days ago. In September, at the flower, I crossed paths with a couple of resting bumble bees. This October, a sweat bee. #Garden #Sunflower #PlantSky 🪴

A highly reflective yellow flower with a dark center glowing in the late afternoon sun.

A small metallic green bee with a prominently striped abdomen lands on the sunflower’s rays and crawls towards the center.

Nibs and ink. Ink and nibs. Practice. Practice. Practice. #Art #PenAndInk #InkSketch

A collection of hand-drawn lines that vary greatly in width.

An assemblage of short marks, all connected to one another through a long, meandering line.

An assortment of hatch marks, each a unique weight and orientation.

A gathering of circles, divided up by lines of variable thickness.

A quick study for a larger project. 🌳

Only grew one sunflower to maturity this year. It should finish opening soon! The garden’s in rough shape after the summer drought (and the Anise Hyssop smothered a lot of the other plants; it’s a lovely native species, but it does not play nice with others, at least in my conditions).

Functionally, I want to compare it to a stiff brush. At least, that is how its strengths and limitations have guided my approach to using it. It requires frequent grip adjustments to get different strokes and it holds a lot of ink without tending to burp, which I think is fantastic!

I’m trying out another new nib this weekend. It works on a similar principle to those glass dip pens you see in Instagram Reels, but it has a bullet-shaped silhouette; you can vary the line weight by holding the pen closer to or further from horizontal. #Kakimori #PenAndInk #Art #InkSketch #DipPen

A small piece of paper covered in a variety of ink marks and sketches.

Three dip pens from top to bottom: a glass pen covered in colorful patterns, a Kakimori pen with a bullet-shaped nib, and a manga pen with a G nib.

As for the sketch, maybe 20 minutes after warming up, I’m happy enough with it.

The acorn came from the tree behind my house. It’s getting pelted with oak nuts whilst gardening season.

I’m adjusting to the G nib quickly. The flexibility is fun to play with (I’m used to relatively stiff bowl pointed Speedballs). That point is sharp!

A couple of family members brought the tiny jam jar back for me when they went on vacation. The jam was delicious and the jar has come in handy as an ink well. #Art #PenAndInk

A small jar of black ink, a dip pen with a G nib, an acorn, and the final line drawing. The sketch depicts variable texture and form through a variety of hatching techniques.

The nib was way too juicy for that paper, especially where any pressure was applied. The hairlines were surprisingly clean, though. 🫟

More of that horrendous paper. Different pen. 🖋️ A couple of doodles and practice strokes with a G nib and some acrylic ink. ✍️ I haven’t written anything in cursive (aside from my signature) since elementary school. How are my letter forms? 😂 #PenAndInk

Here are some sketches done with Pilot Precise V5 and V7 pens on that cheap paper online stores use as filler when they ship stuff. Not perfect; very low pressure. #Sketch #Art

Ink sketches of a variety of three-dimensional solids such as spheres, cubes, and pyramids, in a variety of different hatching and stippling styles.

Admittedly, it has been a long time since I’ve picked up a pen. The most difficult part is almost always getting started, and this, I believe, stems partially from my perfectionistic tendencies. #Drawing

What is tiny but has a PLANET-sized influence? Sphagnum of course. A 🧵 on why this moss matters more than ever. Holding more than 20× its dry weight in water, halting decay, shaping entire ecosystems, thwarting fire. Never underestimate a moss. 1/
