ECS Rachel Yallop - Ruling Pen Class - Day 1

I'm taking a class through ECS with Rachel Yallop - Ruling Pen Class - Day 1

I pulled out a bunch of my ruling pens...  7 of them... I have all the Dreaming Dogs pens but only pulled out my Little Lie pen... The rest were a hand made Cola pen from a previous class eons ago, Brody, Tim's, Haff 629 (from Thomas Hoyer's Class eons ago), a silver ruling pen for drafting, and my new favorite EZ-A from Alan Ariail.

I sprinkled Bister and Brusho w/c powders on my paper and dipped my pens into water...

I worked on Genoa Bond calligraphy paper and before I knew it I went thru 10 sheets...

Looking forward to class 2...
