#fountainpenink — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Drawtober 9th

Pen and ink, drawn with the same as yesterday.

Squash is the prompt for today, and as squash isn't a huge thing in Australia, and we're warming up here in Kambarang in the South West of the corner of Australia where I live, I'm thinking about lemon squash.

And so is this Pipistrelle Dragonet. Whilst they can be very handy to gleefully snap up any wasps and flies that might show too much interest in your drink, tour operators warn that they will expect a tithe of ice licks for the service. People who accept the insect removal service and refuse the licks will find themselves slightly singed. It's best to work out the agreement carefully beforehand.

Day 8 of #Inktober

Iroshizuku shin-ryoku

It's a gentle green, with just a hint of teal in it. It's new to me, but it seems as well behaved as all the rest of the Iroshizuku inks I've tried.
