"Sea Flora Stratum". My first attempt at using metallic markers of black paper. Honestly, the picture here doesn't do it the full justice. When looking at the original, in person, you can see the metallic colors shine at different angles in the light. Either way it was fun to make and kind of hypnotic to look at.
