Success - Catastrophe

I saw something by Gemma Black and liked the way she wrote out a word... so used the idea for my piece.
size: 4.5"w x 6"h
On Canson XL Pen & Ink paper created my ovals in various sizes wrote in the letters for the focal word then colored with Zig Clean Color markers in blues and greens. Text written with the fine point of the pen.
words: Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes it built on catastrophe. Sumner Redstone

Roman Rebels - Barbara Close Class

I took a ZOOM class with Barbara Close, "Roman Rebels", March 9 & 10. 2024 hosted by Idaho Calligraphy Guild. Love her style.

Roman Rebels - Alpha Blue & Green & Alpha Brights
size: each 5.5"sq
On Bee Super Deluxe paper wrote out the alphabet with a Zig Writer interlocking and twisting the letters... Painted with Koi Coloring Brush pens.
I'm a more colorful person so repeated the design (minus one little detail...) and painted with various brands of watercolors.

Roman Rebels - Pressure Release - Mysterious
size: 5.5"w x 6.5"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper wrote out the quote using a Caran d'Ache Grafwood 4B pencil in a pressure release style. (still need more practice...)
words: The most beautiful understanding in the world is that of the mysterious. Albert Einstein.

Roman Rebels - BFly Dreams
size: 5.5"w x 3"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper masked out the border and applied Pan Pastels in a brownish and yellowish tones. Removed the mask and wrote out the words with a pointed nib and Sumi ink. Added the BFly and leaf sprig.

Roman Rebels - Enjoy Every Moment
size: 3.5"w x 5.5"h
On Staples 110# cardstock drew in my border with the bullet tip of a red Zig Writer. Wrote in my words in overlapping abstract design using a Zig Wrter. Colored the background areas with the orangey color and the 1st letter of most of the words with the reddish color. Wrote the words under the abstract but will need to redo that area... messy...
words: Enjoy every moment of your special day.

Roman Rebels - Get Well Soon

size: 5"w x 7"h
On Staples 110# cardstock masked off my border with Washi tape and applied a couple tones of green Pan Pastels. Transferred my lettering design and wrote them out with a pointed nib and Sumi ink in pressure release style. Added the horizontal lines. Used a kneaded eraser to remove color in some letters. Added the outside border.
words: The main function of your big to is to make sure all the furniture is in the right place. Get Well Soon

ID: Roman Rebels - HB Sarkis card

Circle - 6 Trefoil & Circle Weave - Colored

After playing with some of the Celtic patterns from our last handout out Adrienne so generously sent us, I was in a mood to combine it with something else... and boy did this thing take a while. I was having so many problems getting my knots to work in the circle on one that only had 1/4" line spacing. I finally gave up and increased the line space to 1/2". And of course the template I made for my trefoil was a little skewed... I have since created a better template... but c'est la vie. I like the way it turned out so much I created one that's only 4.25"dia which I'll upload tomorrow...

On misc Calligraphy paper using a Sakura Koi watercolor brush pens. white Prisma colored pencil, graphite, Juice Up and Zig marker.

That yellowish color is more a limey green. The outer layer was a darker green I didn't like so went over it with a white colored pencil.

I really like the inner circle weave, weaving thru the knots accented with the graphite shading.

Doodled H - Aug 20,23

I LOVE Kathy Milici's calligraphy artwork and she's been posting some wonderful capital letters for one of her upcoming classes... She created an "H" similar to this and since it's one of my initials I thought I'd create one as well...
