Song of Solomon: timeless love poetry from the Bible, in contemporary calligraphy.
The Bible verses in the previous post describe a young woman's intensely smoldering love. The images suggest embers, ashes, and fragrant smoke, which can all be portrayed with words lettered in pen and ink. But going further, you can make some very dramatic ink strokes without using your pen at all. Just use the ink bottle's dropper stopper.
The flames in the green circle above were formed with the ink dropper. |
You will need to lay the paper flat to dry thoroughly, perhaps for days. When you eventually frame the page, add spacers so the glass doesn't stick to the ink.
