Scribbled Lives 2023 - Wk 32 - B Nib - Be Bubbly

This week's challenge is to use a "B" nib... I had to go searching in my stash since I haven't used one of them in eons and eons...

As soon as I saw the theme of this week's challenge I wanted to create something with a lot of "B's" in it... and this popped into my head...

Scribbled Lives 2021 - Wk 3 - Janus - Black Gold

Scribbled Lives 2021 - Wk 3 - Janus - Black Gold and another week's artwork done...

I'm not a chocoholic but I do enjoy Ferrero Rocher... I've usually saved the wrappers to do something with them one day!!! Well this is the day...

Smoothed out the wrinkles as best as possible then adhered to regular 110# cardstock. I tried writing using my Sumi ink, but it just beaded all over the place. So pounced a bit of Sandarac and tried again. Much better. I used a 6.0 parallel pen and the Sumi ink, then a B-5 nib for the rest.

Black Gold doesn't exist except as man made but the Rocher chocolate can definitely take its place.

Jan/21 - Filigree - Love U

I recently saw an image from Benoit Furet on Instagram and wanted to do something similar... He does gorgeous filigree calligraphic work. What I saw was a graphic word and roses surrounding it. His roses were more stylized, but mine are easier to create.
