Flowers

In a creative mood this week.  Trying out the q-tip method to create the flower.  

Creativity for a Sunday.

Greeting for a friend. Not quite a Halloween font. 😁

Going to meet this new great niece tomorrow and was inspired to letter her name.

I’m trying to get back into doing Calligraphy more often. I used an old nib with a different ink and it blobs too easily. Ugh. Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleedproof white to the rescue! Also, messing around with watercolor.

Iris in watercolor

I’m also working more with my brush lettering.

Calligraphy on a cup!

These photos show the steps I used to create this cup for my ‘secret pal’ in my Guild. I used Sharpie oil based pens in primary colors to stipple around the letters and inside the image of the pen. After it dried I carefully removed the paper and then baked the cup at 350 for 30-45 min.
