some pages i heart

for more on this image, check out nicci's flickr page.


in working over some of the acrylic paint applied (by Maralena) to some of the thickest pages, i discovered that my dip/fountain pen works great with a certain black acrylic ink. (it's not a secret, i just can't remember the name of it at the moment.) doodles resulted, then i put down some smeared ink. technical, yep. i took a paper towel remnant and smeared purple around. then came the sharpie. oh, beloved sharpie. the texture is pretty awesome. if there were more light in here, and my camera battery weren't dead, i'd take a few detail shots for you! i'll try to remember to do that before it's mailed...

this spread would make an awesome sketchbook cover. i like it that much =D.
