I'm keen to learn Calligraphy. There is something beautiful about the flow of the lines, and I've been introduced recently to the exciting possibilities opened up by introducing bleach to ink.

I'm hoping to combine this with a little bit of Irish language learning that has, alas, fallen by the wayside of late.
To do this, I'm going to participate in Inktober. The idea is to create a design in ink and to share it. There are 31 prompts, one for each day of October. They have been translated into different languages.
If you'd like to join me, a friend of my cousin has been kind enough to translate the official Inktober 2019 prompts into Irish. They are as follows:
1. Ring Fáinne (a ring) / glaoch (to ring/to call) 17. Ornament Ornáid
2. Mindless Neamhaireach / Faillíoch 18. Misfit Aonarán / Duine corr
