Title: Drawtober 11th
Content Notes: Had to do this one super fast, not much time before bedtime, so it's super slack. The prompt was pinecone, but I was not able to get out there and find a fine subject. Instead I'm subjecting you all to puns. The pens were a Pelikan Twist with Aventurine, and a Rotring Art Pen with Rotring black.

Yesterday I attended my good friend Lorraine's 52nd birthday. She had 52 bottles of custom-blended ink by Vinta Inks to give to her guests! Lorraine is a calligrapher. For her wedding 4 years ago she also had a bespoke wedding ink custom-blended by Vinta Inks. This ink sort of reminds me of Robert Oster Fire and Ice, but a bit bluer.
Day 10 of #Inktober
Iroshizuku shin-kai
This is a great ink: a well-behaved dark blue with just a hint of sheen

Same ink and pen as yesterday, and a super quick drawing between games as I was gardening in the morning and then at boardgame club for the afternoon and evening. The prompt is 'acorn' and while there are a couple of oak trees closeish I'm still going with a more local tree. These seed pods are from an Allocasuarina commonly called Sheoak in Australia, and I was taught to call it Kwel by my Nyoongar teachers.
I took about 5 minutes to draw these little seed pods. They have a spiky texture, and black cockatoos are fond of them.

Day 9 of #Inktober
Waterman Audacious Red
A bright, well-behaved ink, though not quite as intense as I would like. (Not as audacious? 😶)
I love this nib though. The Retro1951 nibs are decent in their own right, but the Franklin-Christoph nibs are amazing.

This was from a post on the Japanese concept of *ma*, and the idea of leaving space in our lives. I love the overlap between that and the writings on ignorance by Wendell Berry and Wes Jackson.
Pen: Pilot Custom 74 EF nib
Ink: Iroshizuku shin-kai
Paper: Rhodia 80gsm
This pen still isn't what I want it to be. It always feels almost like I have to pull the ink from the nib.
