I was looking for a text-weight paper that plays nicely with the ultramarine blue. Ultramarine doesn&#8217;t play nicely in the pen to begin with, so there&#8217;s all the more reason to find that paper that doesn&#8217;t add to the general trouble. I thought I was going to have to settle for Crane&#8217;s Crest, but I was finally able to make Somerset Book laid work well enough, on one side at least, which is all you need for an accordion book. Which is what this was.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, now I have similarly sized samples of both sides of Somerset Book Laid, Mohawk Vellum, Lana Laid, Arches Text Wove (which is good if you&#8217;re painting but why struggle with it for straight lettering?) and Crane&#8217;s Crest. I&#8217;ll keep using them as samples until I&#8217;ve covered them so completely I&#8217;ve got to start another sheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small commission of a single poem.
