The Toothbrush-Comb Combination in Drawing

The Christmas Box of cards has ten different colors, each numbering six to yield a total of sixty. Today I picked up the black cards and was wondering what can be drawn on them when an idea struck me, one that I had learned while in grade school. The method involves a toothbrush, preferably a used one, and a comb. The toothbrush is first dipped in the water color solution, white in this instance so as to contrast well with the black background, and is then rubbed against the comb held just above the card. In this way, the tiny droplets are scattered like a spray onto the card, the density of which can be controlled by leveraging the speed of the rubbing action. Here are the results.

The Mei-flower-dotted branches amidst the snow shower in the nightscape.

The Bamboo night.

Putting the two together ... This must be a rare sight in nature.

And here's a belated Christmas atmosphere with Mr. Frosty.

The cascading star-shaped crimson leaves ...


And the Mei Flowers that would adorn the thank-you card for a job well done to our newspaper delivery man.
