Celestial Map 12.05.11 (Finished)



Well, that didn't quite go as planned. I wanted to "age" the drawing a bit, make it look used. I succeeded in aging it (with a mixture of tea, ink wash and watercolor) but the ink bled on the lettering for the last four or five items. It's supposed to be waterproof but the ink was applied rather heavily and I think it needs time to cure or something. All of the other lettering was fine. Kind of annoying.

Not sure what I'm going to do next. I'm taking the week off to visit some museums and the studios of friends.
