BVCG - Cowboy Wisdom - Bull, Horse, Fool

My Guild's next challenge is "Cowboy Wisdom". I though this was a good lesson...
size: 5.5"w x 7"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper wrote out the text in a light and heavy funky serif style using both a Juice Up pen and a ZIG Calligraphy Marker

words: Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.

On Canson Black Drawing paper using a white and gold gel pen in basic monoline and shadow lettering

I had created right next to something I was doodling so I split the text away from the artwork... Love that bow...

WCS Lettering Challenge Peppermint & Star

Size: 4:sq
The West Coast Calligraphy Society put out a challenge between the dates of Dec 10 & 20th. They gave us a pile of Holiday related words... Stipulated to be 4"sq on good paper, oriented in the diamond shape, use green ink with a touch of red..

Both done on Canson Mixed Media paper

The 1st one I chose was Peppermint. I had this vision of a peppermint candy... Drew my circles, drew in my letters and colored with green watercolor. Added the red little triangles and graphite shading.

For the 2nd one I drew my large central star and then a bunch of smaller stars using a Spellbinders star die set using various green gel pens. Wrote in the word "Star" with a green glitter gel pen. Added the red star with a red glitter gel pen.
