Ink experiments

These potential book covers are based on my "journey lines" - written in wax from a candle and a white crayon - then inked over with quink, chinese ink, coloured ink (first from an unwashed brush) and then more chinese ink in the bottom row. The "misty landscape" effect is accidental and involves a wet tissue.

Best of all is the paper used underneath - the blue streaks are from spots of water on the quink.
