Today in art class, we made (very rough) ink pens out of bamboo reeds. We had to use little razor blades to sharpen the reeds and whatnot...it made me a bit nervous.
[Just picture a big class of art students, who are not experienced in razor-wielding, chopping and slicing away at small bamboo reeds......uh huh, a bit nerve-wracking]
SO once we finished hacking away at our bamboo, we broke out our India Ink and started drawing. India Ink is really cool. It dries very quickly (on paper and on my hands).
Another successful day in art class.
I really want to do gesture drawing again....that was the most fun I have ever had in art class. Charcoal was EVERYWHERE.
I still have India Ink all over my hands....oh well.

That sounds like sooo much fun. Its so easy to draw me in to most things having to do with art (well, in all reality... it could just be things I can really get my hands into) lol
You should put some of your art on this page - good to see you're still excercising your creative muscles.
Everyone tells me that with Acrylics you can paint light colours (or colors) over dark - this is rubbish, it always changes the colo(u)r
Wow, that sounds really cooool.
Oh, and it would be really lovely to see some of your art. :)
Students learning to make their own pens?? I can already see the president of Bic, squirming and sweating in his chair at the loss of his empire.........
