Wild Colour, Specimen 6
Made with a different strength of iron solution, this specimen dried paler and more translucent than the first five: a soft, taupe rise traced with a fine amber tide-line, its interior crazed with lace-like texture. At the crown, the ink has pooled into one dark, glossy cap, like a granite outcrop shouldering out of morning mist.
Details
