Inked Swirls

if you call the tail a leg?
Four. Calling a tail a leg
doesn't make it a leg."
~Abraham Lincoln
playing with ink, doodling tiny swirls, boxes and lines with a calligraphy pen, amidst the larger swirls
writing with a chopstick and water
dipping a pen with fountain pen ink to fill the lines
drawing with a chopstick and water
dripping the ink at the edges, watching the ink pull into to the water
J. Herbin Café des îles ("Island Coffee") Fountain Pen Ink, using chopstick and calligraphy marker.
This fun was inspired by this ink love.
