"Crafting Creation" 11

Got some more wood grain down, despite the somewhat bent nib end [the tips are still together, so the flow runs, but the slight bentness means a more spongy or springy response to laying the ink, necessitating more care and less strong intensity in the color as consequence, meaning more laying over to darken - which can be good, or just more work, depending]...  curling the pen helps, tho the edge being a long thin nib means more likelihood of cutting into the board if turned too much to the side use, as well as more possibility of spreading the nib tips apart if too readily applied - again meaning more care in using...
 and managed some more...   while my hand requires much in the way of frequent rests, is possible might get the rest in by end of the day...   will see...  at the least be done the next day, and the other door begun...
