These are really good, but it is drawing skills that makes it work. If anyone else tried this it would be a mess. Nice work

Thanks Jane and Dan!

I used an eyedropper dipped in ink to draw these and they definitely require a light touch. My hand pretty much just flew across the paper in swift strokes, leaving varying pools of ink and lines. Then a quick blot with tissue to set the sketch.

Believe me, there were a handful that indeed end up as a mess -- they won't see the light of day!
