Overlapping writing on Rhodia grid paper. Pictured on the diagonal to look more interesting. The bottom layer of writing slants down to the right and is in two inks, a turquoise in a needlepoint grind and then a deeper teal in a medium. Above and crossing over those lines is writing in a deep blue ink although honestly it looks black, in a fine stub nib.
