Word Redos

Remember my "Word" Challenge from the fall of 2019? -- 

( https://foldedpenfan.blogspot.com/search?q=word )  Well, I'm taking a few of those pieces and converting them into inserts, etc. for mailings / my art healing journal.

Here are a few "nearly there's"... 😉

Finished piece (postcard size).  I added a quote and the word "matters", as well as adding on an "s" at the end of Word.

the Quote.

The S should be a tad thicker, but I also like how it turned out.

"matter".

Original.

2nd piece:

I really like this one, BUT...my gold lettering at the top got messed up. (Grrrr!!!)

Gold lettering on top & bottom: "one kind...can do wonders".

Original. (Pink "word" in gouache.)

And another:

This was turning out, until my lettering, as I messed up the k in break (or rather, the d*mn ink ran again! It blobbed up on me. 😕)

That's ok, b/c I plan to redo for my art healing journal, and an insert. (Plus, the lettering/ marks to the left were a distraction and I didn't know how to cover up.)

Started out as this. Folded pen, India ink and pastels.

Since I couldn't trim off the "Oh my...", I tried to make into shapes, but it didn't work.

I erased part of the pastels to make a nice clean even border, added "matter" to the end, hoping the swoosh of the d looked like an "s".  Excited to re-create!
