I was working on a nice piece of white vine when I really messed up on the ink. It pooled and ran and made a mess. I don't know if my nib was dirty or if it was too cold, when I was working, but my meager calligraphy skills had failed me, on that day. Unfortunately, I have been unable to scrape and sand the ink off.
All I appear to be doing is spread the ink around and I've removing too much of the paper.
I used an X-acto knife, white emory foam and metal grade sand paper. I'm removing layers of paper but it appears that the ink has soaked in very deep. Maybe I can cut out the illumination and paste it onto another piece of paper. I started on re-doing this initial, because I liked how it turned out.
