The one on the left is a bus journey, and the other is a tube journey - both written with a new pen that has a thick but pointy nib, and has to be held perfectly upright to get a fine line -
These three represent the journey from Kensal Rise to Crouch Hill - it included sitting in the sunshine and waiting for the connecting train. They're done with my new brown (sepia sounds better!) pen on three kinds of paper -
Joanne asked about the size of the boats - these three are about 4" (10cm) long and about 1" (2.5cm) at the back. Often they're made of lengthwise strips of A4 paper. I keep a selection of strips in my handbag at all times, along with a few pens (travelling light).

I'm entranced by the marks of your travel writing - and its further expansion into printing and stitch. (And I did have to give it a go on a plane trip recently - a smooth flight made for some quite plain marks.)
Looking forward to following more of your works...
I was wondering what enlarging or reducing the travel marks on a computer might produce. Thanks for answering my question.
