Day ???, 100 Days: Reusing failed art (small auto. pen)

So, here is what I also planned to do with this challenge (and actually wanted to do last year) -- finishing pieces I started, and repurposing failed creations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a piece I "repurposed" for my Happy Journal. (ignore the bottom part, as I'm going to redo)

 

I'm not super pleased with the blue lettering, but it's better than how it started out. (This also tells me i should take some time and practice my tiny italic!)

Here is the original. I love the abstract painting and the red "art" lettering (Horizon nib), but the rest of my lettering is ick.

Close up.😝

So I tried to salvage and redo!

*And here is the part for the Challenge -- used my fairly new automatic pen:

I used this pen a couple times for masking, as I really didn't like it when I first got it. But decided to start using again with ink.
