Thickest Japanese calligraphy ink seems to work best with red paper speckled with tiny gold flakes. The words do not look translucent on red paper this time round, unlike my previous attempt using another brand of ink.

Wrote a birthday gift for my dad
The nice thing about learning calligraphy is: I can "handmake" a gift for someone's birthday. Today is my dad's birthday, so I wrote him these congratulatory auspicious words. He's born in the year of the dragon, which means he is 72 this year (2012).
