The ink dries along the fibers of the paper. The conditions of moisture and drying times determine the end result, which is a beautiful mystery, to naturally unfold.

In some Welsh legends, the little fairies eat poisonous mushrooms and a "fairy butter" found in the crevices of limestone rocks. Fey illusions make the food's appearance and taste more appetizing. More charmingly, fairy gloves are made from foxglove flowers.

In Welsh folklore, King Rhitta was a giant who fashioned a huge cloak out of the beards of all the kings he conquered. When King Arthur received a message from King Rhitta demanding Arthur's beard to patch the cloak, Arthur dueled the giant and forced Rhitta to shave his own beard.

In Welsh folklore, when King Arthur attacked the first sister of the giant Cribwr, he said his name was "Hot Porridge." When the giantess screamed that she needed help with Hot Porridge, her brother called back from another room that she should just let it cool.

19. three stroke letters
(wrong again aefhi)

rev. queen of pentacles
10 of cups
unwater of earth, manifestation of all stages of the cycle of water.

Following on the page from 18., some new colors have entered the mix.

My question now is, if acrylic paint is one step away from being awkward ink, is a nib therefore the most excellent small round brush? Is a nib the best painting tool for details? Will I make a second pen set reserved for oil paints?

Wow what is this garbage.
Glaring colors in clusters, some stylized words, some smears. Continuing the page from previous art, there are five colors in play, and they have all changed somewhat over time.

#FairyTaleTuesday #31DaysofHaunting #Mythology

Every May 1 until Judgement Day, the Welsh hero Gwythyr battles Gwyn ap Nudd (king of the dead) for Creiddylad (Gwythyr's kidnapped fiancée). As May 1 is the first day of the Celtic summer, many scholars interpret this as a conflict between summer and winter.

17. what would you do with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

7 of cups
rev. 8 of wands
A lot of solar plexus.

This was trying some colors out. The drab purple mix I have been working with, a primary blue, and a quinacridone crimson. Both were just mixed with distilled water in their own containers, and applied with dip nib.

Gentle flowing words, some colored lines. Happy goblins.
rainbow and gold.

In Welsh myths, when the people of northern Wales offended the fairies, the fairies unleashed an army of monsters. It included a huge toad with sharp claws, a serpent with 100 damned souls writhing under its skin, and a 100-headed monster so huge battles could be fought on its jaws.

13. what is your favorite kind of weather?

This india ink is not as thick as some, and feathers on thin paper. On this cardstock it looks okay!

India inks and acrylic inks both use pigment (vs dyes), for added lightfastness and permanence, as well as greatly increased archival lifespan when decently kept.
Shellac is typically in india inks, while acrylic inks use acrylic binders, I think.
Thick shellac ink would not be good in a fountain pen.

rev. 5 of wands
king of pentacles
Dodged strife and imagery of a bird, and agriculture themes repeated from previous draws, perhaps.

Goblins are falling!
That would be some lousy weather...

A few thoughts in sylvin raven condensed and sylvin branch form scripts.

11. (More drills...) write the pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”?

8 of pentacles (again)
rev. 10 of swords.
Mercury of earth, un-material culmination of air's aspect.
Creativity, and un-creativity's ruin.
Here's to staving off ruination!

the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Oh, 'the' twice wastes two characters.
As we all know, modern geblin has 22 base characters, numbered 0 - 21. There are then 6 derivative characters, followed by four common picto grammar symbols which when used as a prefix to a word often drastically changes the base meaning.

To account for these extra letters here,
Tz Sh Th
to a t-h instead once, and an Sh for good measure,
and there is a letter for each!

"I see Queen Mab hath been with you....
She gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies straight,
O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees."
- William Shakespeare, "Romeo and Juliet"
