Splashes and Blots with Indian Ink

I spent a couple of hours experimenting with ink blots.  I started off trying to get the ink onto the paper in splashes.  I drew 2 squares in my note book and had a little play with a few colours.

Encouraged, I then I looked up about blots.  Using watercolour and standard paper, I tried out different techniques.  I hadnt anything to eject the ink out so I pulled apart a soap dispenser and used the hose.  I then blew the ink onto the paper. I then tried folding for a symmetrical blot and not folding, to see the effects.



 I quite like ink so random....
