armpit declamation
ALT: ink drawing in purple, green and orange. abstract, doodle. it seems to be a figure with one arm upraised in a declamatory gesture perhaps. the ‘face’ is really just a bunch of spirals and spots. There’s a happy spiky spiral thing nestled in the area below the upraised arm.
summer bugs & berries
ALT: ink and crayon drawing featuring 7 fruits lined up neatly in two vertical lines, one of 3 and one of 4. And 13 splotchy messy winged bugs all over the rest of the page.
rainbow rest
ALT: crayon and ink drawing, horizontal stripes of pink, red, purple and blue on a yellow/orange ground. There’s a lot of wet-on-wet blurring and bleeding in the colors. And some things at the top that could represent sun rays or attack lines.
sunken floatie
ALT: crayon and ink. It looks to me like a wrinkly old flamingo-shaped inflatable toy, underwater.
window wall
ALT: crayon and ink. Two red birds in flight. the background is a wall of big windows, like a conservatory or large office building. There is some foliage at the bottom, and an unexplained curved line of dots the same color as the birds. Not really a flight path, or maybe it is?
I’m just posting these b/c I like the way they look all in a batch. Look back at my 22 June post to see the template for these little ink puddles.
I might start making 9 at a time, just so I can have an even grid.
sky castle (detail)
ALT: water soluble crayon and ink, in the colors of chicory and daylilies. It looks like windows in an apartment building, sort of. The middle window has some plants in it. There’s a big arched window on the left, that has little stars or sparkles in it, and another smaller one on the top right with what could be wrought iron fancywork.
high summer
in response to my friend Jeff’s suggestion that “calligraphic chicory-monster-syllabary rain” might be forthcoming. But no monsters, at least in this one. Maybe they’re hiding in the foliage.

peering
ALT: ink drawing, abstract bright colors. Geometric shapes in reds and oranges, bordered by yellow. And then, because ultimately everything becomes a face, I drew curly black and green lines on top to make one. With a lot of extraneous other lines and dots to decorate.
ink pots
ALT: ink drawing in bright colors: pinks and purples on a green background. Abstract-ish, the main shape could be a fancy bottle I suppose, or pile of something twisted and decorated, paired with a big pink flower shape. The decorations are mostly within teardrop shapes on the bottle thing. I was just playing with shapes and colors.
