Letter loved journal

Here is my final journal I hope you like it as much as me!

Letter Love #6

Take a look!  The first two were created with a parallel pen.  I had never heard of them before Joanne Sharpe's class.  You can even create a piece with a gradation of ink colors.

The others were all created with the painted papers I made myself.  And if you have ever tried creating your own painted papers you know how addicting it can be.  I used several letter stencils i already had and made several more from designs cut from oak tag board.  I created my own sprays with dick blick liquid watercolor diluted in spray bottles i saved that used to have different body sprays in them.

Love Letter #5

Lettering: on grids, in-the-round, with fountain pens, and using a white pen

Just a few more to help spark your imagination and to show you how much fun your own lettering can be!

Letter Love 101

I have just completed a fantastic class.  I will attached several photos documenting our process.  This class was taught by Joanne Sharpe of Whimspirations.  She gave us tons of information and pdf.   Here are a few of the first lessons.
Thanks for looking

 This first book is created from a composition book.  The pages have been glued together to give each one a little more strength.  From then we became to gather our many pens (I bought some also) and just create an index of all our pen, color and black and white.

 I have had these fountain pens for quite awhile now.  I think it is so much much experimenting with all the different inks.  I also love the way a fountain nib works with your paper.

 Up until the beginning of the class i had only owned 4 copic markers.  I was always wondering what the big deal was about.  But I think I know know! (Now I own about 70)

 These are examples of different alphabets used to create various alphabets. Working on black paper sure in fun.

I love to look through magazines or publications for interesting fonts and when i find them i quickly sketch them in.
