Just noticed that one of my letters is incomplete - too late now but I will fix later. A continuation of the free flowing style for the background and a mix of alphabets for each alphabet card.

I tried a waterproof drawing ink, Chin Chin, this weekend and it turned out to be anything but waterproof. Can anyone suggest an ink that is permanent/waterproof? I even sprayed my piece with a fixative and that didn't stop the ink from running. For the letters on the left I am using either Sharpie or Pigma Pens, gouache and a poster paint pen - watercolour for background colour.

Cheers! Violet

  1. This is so much fun Violet! And I;m glad you could see the letter which needs finishing because I can't even after the hint! I love the colour combination and the sense these letters want to get off the page and dance!

  3. What brand did you use? Have you tried Winsor & Newton waterproof drawing ink ... the one with the spider on the box not the one with the dragon on the box. Love the colour and the lettering Violet.
