Zentangle-style drawing.
2.5" x 3.5" Artist Trading Card, Pilot Mixable Colour Black, Robert Oster Gold Antiqua (flour / meal, oil, sticks at the bottom), Diplomat Pine Tree (alternating line pattern) inks in Pilot Kaküno EF (Gold Antiqua) and Pilot Prera fountain pen, with a Penmanship extra-fine nib.

This drawing was done after InesF on the Fountain Pen Network presented us with an amphora-inspired invitation.  My mind went immediately to two Old Testament stories involving jars or vessels - the story about the widow who fed Elijah first and whose meal and oil didn't run out until the drought ended inspired this drawing.  I didn't know how to draw them not running out, so I drew them overflowing.  The circles and swirls under the vessels are meant to represent a stack of sticks, looking at the end grain.  The alternating lines in the background are just to fill in the space, they have no particular meaning.
