ID: Blackletter Sign - Guests Like Fish
size: 7"w x 8"H
Created: June 11, 2018
Modified:
As I
mentioned recently I took a blackletter class with Renate
Worthington... And our Guild is looking for stuff about
"fauna" for our next journal... so I created this sign.
(maybe to hang on the inside of a bathroom door...)
Did the calligraphy
using Parallel pens 6.00mm and 2.4mm filled with Sumi ink on
acid free mat board.
I shadowed the
letters in "Guest" using an HB pencil and paper stump,
then using a DoCrafts Papermania blue metallic brush pen added
the line in each letter.
Stamped the sea
foliage image (Kaiser Crafts "Costal Escape" clear
stamp set) using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.
Inked the edge of
the mat board with Versafine "Majestic Blue" and
embossed with "Queen's Gold" embossing powder.
Punched holes using
my Crop-a-Dile and tied a thick beige twine.
