Silver Letters - Part 1

I most often work in black and white. I work with a pencil on paper. Until now I worked on white paper and so I hadn't fully appreciated the silvery glint of graphite on black paper, in the last of the summer light making it shine bright silver. 

This let me turn my studio upside down to find silver things, much like a magpie. If it was shiny, I wanted it. I found a silver sharpie, I can't say I remember where it came from initially, but it was much better than the simple graphite pencil.

I continued to work on the black paper and saturated it in silver ink. I enjoyed the subtle black edging that the paper provided. I am not sure where I am going with this, but I am enjoying the light relief of play.
