Did this last year. Messed up my e (grrrr.), but love how the rest turned out.


Horizon folded pen and green India ink.

Confetti

 Did this for an IG Challenge last year, but am posting today in honor of my son's hs graduation. (Time to Celebrate!!)

 Tried to combine with with my Neon challenge but colors didn't show up very bright.

Happy with how my lettering turned out!

TY to Shannon; Mail Art book

 from June 2020:

Shannon had organized a call for Mail Art during the pandemic, and I just wanted to send her a little thank you, as it was so great for me to partake (and the "rules" were great! Focused on words.)

Just her name done simple with walnut ink.

Matching card. (this is Shannon's pic, as 1) I forgot to take a pic and 2) hers turned out great! makes my work look even better -- she posted to IG. Thanks again Shannon!)

*UPDATE:
So, Shannon and Erica (Canada) worked together on the Mail Art call and published all the pieces in a book! It's selling on amazon and I got mine today.


So fun. A perfect coffee table book. So proud to be involved (although I cringe at some of my work from then!)

Decorated env.

Made this env. in 2020, then decided to send to a new exchanger for a V-day theme last year.

Used my folded pen for the design. B/c of the porous paper, the ink bled, but i touched up and added other elements.

Used pointed pen and India ink for her name. Added white & gold accents.

At first, I did the zip in white India ink, but didn't like how the numbers looked, so I made a design over it, and printed new ones below.

Back side. (I think I used a pointed brush for the designs.)

with insert

Used my pointed Pentel brush and flair pen (again, could use folded pen), and although I love how the ink bleeds with water, it can get out of control!  (esp. when I touch up and repeat)
