Mixed media experiments with Damask pattern

Having time is a gift that I know I am blessed to have. I have been experimenting with patterns and different mediums and loving it! I have no real goal or look in mind. I am just saying 'what if' and then try it. The above picture was created with different kinds of inks.  First I drew the lines with an Elegant Calligraphy Writer pen. Then I wet that with water to make it bleed. Nest I used Derwent's Inktense blocks to color in the flowers and dragonfly. Then I used a dye ink and a stencil and sponge too create the background. Finally, I made the spatter using more intense. I so enjoyed the fun of seeing 'what if '.
