52 in 2011: Week Two

So, today I spent the whole day getting ready for tomorrow's Bridal Fair.  I've done this enough times now that you would think I'd have it down, but there's always something new to add and everything needs to be organized and packed.  It was late before I even remembered about my 52 in 2011 post.  I thought about just doing it tomorrow or Sunday but instead I grabbed a piece of scrap paper, and scratched out another short quote from Les Miserables.

My Sumi ink had been decanted into a dappen dish for hours on my hot, lighted drawing board and it had evaporated.  I didn't take the time to thin it down, so the hairlines are not really hairlines.  Slap dash, done in less than 10 minutes.

Don't look too close.  It doesn't bear close inspection.  But it is a nice quote, don't you think?

I saw that double ff in a book earlier in the week and thought I'd try it out.  Poor execution but I think I'll play around with it more and see if I can do it better with some practice.
