This is the finished rough, which I may get around to doing on "good" paper some time. Its nice to have a cache of projects prepared, so that when the mood takes you most of the decisions about it are already made.

Decided it looked more interesting in black and white, and also using only part of the design.

I coloured it in - using cheap paper, see how it has buckled... tut tut.

This is what it turned out like. (Looks like exotic underwear, doesn't it!)

Triquetra

I was given this some time ago. Its a hair ornament. I wondered what it would look like rendered as a drawing, so I copied it to see.

Freedom

This is what I have been playing around with today. Not at all happy with it. It would have been better without the blobs, for one thing, and the wash should have extended right to the edges of the paper (A3), and would have been better in pale blue rather than a thin black. Maybe I should have used smaller pens, but that would have forced it into a landscape orientation, which I dislike. If I had reduced the length of lines in the text, I would have had to increase the size of the sword and the larger lettering to match, for no overall gain. OK, another dud, but one from which I have learned. No (or fewer) blobs in future!
