Playing fast and loose in my Moleskine with a ruling pen, Moon Palace sumi, Japanese lace paper, and Derwent Inktense pencils. Every now and again I simply enjoy slinging some ink and not worrying about the end result.

Last fall I was contacted by an illustrator, Greg, requesting permission to use one of my marbled paper images on Flickr. He had seen some prints I had made in a Diane Maurer-Mathison workshop. Greg does the illustration for The Congressional Chorus in Washington D.C. Didn't he create a terrific illustration for the campaign? (I wish I owned a pair of those shoes!)
Greg, thanks for sending me the finished results. I appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Above is my original paper. I think this is the image Greg used. He did such a great job making it pretty in pink that I'm not certain if it was this image or another one in my Flickr Photostream.

If you will be in Washington D.C. March 25 -27, then put on your marbled dancin' shoes and join The Congressional Chorus at the Atlas Performing Arts Center. It looks as though it will a swingin' good time! For ticket information, click here.
I had been curious about Dr. Martin's Pen White, so I bought a bottle. I used it straight from the bottle - no diluting with water. So far, I really like it.

I love Gwen Weaver's pointed pen lettering which inspired the larger letters in this piece. (Sorry, it appears Gwen's website no longer exists.) I used the Dr. Martin's Pen White and a Spencerian No.1 nib.
I hope you have a great weekend.
I know I will - I'm taking Harvest Crittenden's Antique Page workshop.
Woohoo!! :)
