Ta Daaa!! Major lines have been inked. Gum arabic is soaking. Who know, mebbe I’ll get to the guilding this week too.
I’m not as happy with my execution of the ink outlines. The horses neck doesn’t arch nicely and I kinda wobbled on the knight’s arm. I think I’ll go in and do the line where I should have in the first place and then scrape off the wobbly one. Yeah, I know, I’ll be the only one who can tell the difference. 
I did notice I forgot a line between the lion’s back legs… part of the bush-thingy behind her. Guess I’d better ink that too.
On other things: The kids and I made DH a Happy Birthday sign for the wall. Sam made a card that had a really cute saying. “No matter how old you are… you’ll always be my dad.” Daaawwwwwww! We got him a pennywhistle as a present. I used the last of a green inkle weaving to make him a cover for it.
The pennywhistle is an Oak brand. I like the sound of it so much better than the Clarke ones Sam and I have. This new one also takes so much less air to get a good tone that I almost can’t play it. LOL! I think I’ll be replacing Sam’s and my pennywhistles in the future!
