I have always been fascinated by these trees. From Wikipedia - "In Hinduism, the banyan tree is considered sacred. God Shiva is nearly always depicted sitting in silence under the banyan. It is thought of as perfectly symbolizing eternal life due to its seemingly unending expansion."
Used my new noodler's flex pen (as so many others have acquired recently!). It seems to take 'forever' for the ink to dry. Am I just impatient, or maybe my lines are too thick? Suggestions are welcome!
