Stampede11 - Neuland - Perfect
Size: 9" x 11"h Created: May 28,
2011 This piece won 1st place in the Neuland category and 3rd place for the section. I love doing Funky and decorative Neuland type letters. I lettered the larger letters with a Parallel 6.0 pen, scanned them and resized to extra large. I also did the Funky letters with a 2.4 Parallel pen, scanned that as well and then cut, spliced and arranged till I was content. Printed this out and used it as a guide for where to place my color splotches. I picked one of the words in each part, did it with a larger 3.8 parallel pen, using Ecoline inks (Light Yellow, Carmine, & Ultramarine Light). Let that dry, then misted and sprayed with water, blotting where necessary, drying and misting again, till I got the runs that I wanted. When this was dry, I lettered my quotes with the 2.4 pen and Sumi ink, using my printout as a guide. |

I then drew in my larger words again with the printout as a guide. I had originally wanted to acid etch the words onto my frame glass, but my etching material (0ver 15 years old...) didn't look so healthy anymore, so I opted to do Zentangle decorations instead. When done, I matted the piece and thought it looked a bit bare and too open, so added the border. I love the flow of it and the way it seems to connect everything.
