I was curious about the word "Bister".
There a powder from Belgium and I thought the name had a bit of a Flemish feel to it... and on dictionary.com this is their description. It mentioned French origin and also the spelling BISTRE.
I've been lettering quite a bit with the powders and the excess I've put into a little jar for future use. BIG GRIN. and this is it...
So I sprinkled the remains onto Indigo140# CP 100% cotton Natural White Deckle Edge WC paper. Misted lightly with water (I wanted the speckled effect). When dry wrote out the definition using both a 2.4 and a 6.0 Parallel pen with Sumi ink.
