Doodled - Scarborough Fair


size: 7"w x 4.75"h
I was at my Guild's play day and this song was going thru my head... don't ask why... I have no idea.
On Genoa Bond calligraphy paper wrote out the text with a ZIG Writer, then colored areas with Prisma colored pencils (905, 918, 921, 995, 1003, 1003, 4800).
Was looking at it and then drew the border around it with the bullet tip. Looking at it some more added the border design with a Juice Up pen and the colored pencils.
