Large characters using diluted ink

Recently, I wrote about diluted ink. The reason was because I wanted to try creating a large work with large characters using diluted ink. I did a few drafts and recently came up with something like this, using diluted ink made from 蒼苔 (a "blue" ink (青墨) from 古梅園).

For the characters, I chose 雪落音, using characters from a recent draft. The size of the paper is 70cm by 175cm, to fit within another frame size (2.6 feet by 6 feet) that is used in some calligraphy exhibitions. I may actually submit this (or something similar) for the upcoming Dokuritsu Sho Exhibition (独立書展).
