Smudge!

Damn shaky hands.

I'm trying something new; well, new for me. A scroll with only ink. I had a good start. Unfortunately, My left hand shook a little bit and a finger went right into the wet ink. I'm trying to reproduce the initial of the charter of New Jersey. 

I'm going to let it dry, overnight, and see if I can't scrape the errant ink away. I'm doing this with a cross fountain pen with archive quality ink on pergamenta. It was working well but, I hate the fact that the ink floats on top of the pergamenta. If I was using paper, I might not have smudged the ink,
