Spontaneous writing with #quill & #sumi Calf vellum scrap from a H. Band and Co. sample pack purchased in the 1980s. Band & Co went under shortly thereafter. Wm. Cowley's is the last British manufacturer left. (post 2 of 2, horizontal format) I've been wanting to get some quill written marks on vellum for a long while... This with three different quills, sumi and powdered pigments with gum arabic. The skin lightly abraded with sandpaper, and dusted with sandarac. Apologies to Magister @yves_leterme for the missing 'd' in quidditas! :-) Details in my Google Photos album https://photos.app.goo.gl/7bzbQ1L5nBDkAc8k9 _ #sapientia #quidditas #jamesjoyce #design #zen #calligraphy #blacknwhite_perfection #alphabets #Shodo #shodoartwork #emptiness_is_a_design_pattern #書道 #calligraphymasters #lettering #italic #handlettering #blacknwhite_perfection #alphabets (at Washburn, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_K1sXuDUsx/?igshid=josbv2vbzxfe
