A 'Reed' Pen

I found this beautiful twig lying on the ground while out walking. I stripped off what little bark was still clinging to it, smoothed out the rough parts, carved it a point, and now it's the newest addition to my drawing-tool kit. I really should cut an ink-holding groove into it, but I didn't want to mar the beautiful chisel point.


I really like this photograph, inclusive of the black negative space.
