Be the Love...

Saw this quote recently, and Loved it! (no pun! 😃)

"Be the Love you never received."

This is with a filter, and you can't see the "Be the" very well.

Here you can. (original pic)

Lighter lighting.

Close up of rest of quote (hard to see in other pics).

Pointed pen.

And original sketch.

Windy (Lettering Prompt, IG)

We'll call this one a little happy accident (or unexpected lettering?) It's from a 2021 IG lettering prompt. Used my Pentel pointed brush, and it accidentally smeared, but I like the effect, as it gives that "windy" effect (or seems like it to me!)

Word "borders"

Inspired by pieces seen online/IG, Julie W's classes, etc., I've really been into word borders and quotes for my healing journal, as well as other pieces I create for snail mail.

Here are some sketches of ideas I cannot wait to create, as well as some in the works!

"What you Resists, Persists." Mini sketch.

And here it is in my journal. Didn't turn out, but am doing my best to work with it.

Idea for a Zen quote.

I like this version better.

And here is my attempt. I used a pointed pen and metallic acrylic ink, as I wasn't trusting how well I could duplicate with my fp. I really like it, but unfortunately, I messed up the final piece.

Perspective.

be mindful (left) and enlightenment (right)

And a few "Serendipity's"

Could probably do one with Creativity as well.

And here is a piece called Resilience. I used 3d puff paint, but messed up the quote spacing. Grrr.

Quick...Fox Challenge (ig)

The FOC challenge this month is writing a panagram in your fave hand.

(I actually have this idea for a 100 Day challenge,

but maybe a 30 day one would be better.)

Anyway... here is what I came up with, as all my creations were NOT turning out. (grrrr.)

I LOVE this (of course!), but it's just a sketch with a marker. And wouldn't ya know it, when trying to re-create, was not working.

SO, I flipped it on its side. I like this as a border.

And here it is regular. It's the ascender on the d that messes it up.

 

Words matter

Decided to "redo" the 3d piece (color, below). 

I wanted to make it as a border in my healing journal, and write words beside it, but my lettering on the side didn't turn out. 😕

Used my homemade "Luthis" pen for "Words" and my Parallel slant for "matter".

Original from 2019. The colorful parts are 3d wood pieces.

Comparison

And a demo vid!

Happy Bday, Dr. Seuss!

In honor of his bday today, am posting a few of his quotes, etc. I've lettered. 

Plus, a bit of a milestone b-day, as he would have been 120 years old (same year as my grandma!)

B-nib

Posca marker and cut out (get it? Stand out/Cut out?)

I'd love to be able to redo my lettering. Plus, how fun it'd be to have these stamps again. (env. from early 2000's?)

More from 2020

I'd like to redo this, as there are elements about it I don't like.

This one started out ok, but then I messed up the "hello" and the shamrock.

W/c Shamrock.
