A fun little project over the last few days to get back into some ink painting. Scroll through for some progress shots, the massive inkcident, and some shimmer shine. I was going to draw back into it, but everyone loves it like this, so I think I’ll leave it and move on to the next thing.

Reading spread for Murder in the Cathedral by Kerry Greenwood Reading this started to remind me of reading Pratchett’s final novel, The Shepherd’s Crown. Not as polished as a normal Greenwood novel. I found out after that she had in fact died during editing.

Day 13 of Colorvent Golden Mist is a very pretty orange to pink chromoshader. Unfortunately it’s very pale, so I don’t think it will write well. I do see it as a great possibility for painting things like donkey orchids though!
