I'm taking another online Zoom class with Julie Wildman "Fun & Funky"

What  fabulous day 3 was...

1st day was introductory and using a basic shape to create a fun alphabet. I was doodling while listening and this is what I created. I'm using a basic rectangle shape and all the letters fit within that shape. I've incorporated a couple variations, one with thick/thin strokes and one with diamond accents.

Using a 6.0parallel pen and Sumi ink on genoa bond paper and a 1" letter height. A few of the letters started getting a bit oversize... but I wasn't doing the exemplar all over again. I know my mistakes so will correct when using them...

On 110# white Staples cardstock. The one on the left uses a 6.0 parallel pen. The one on the right uses a 3.8 parallel pen

I scanned the black and white images from above and printed out on the cardstock. Used Prisma colored pencils on the left image and added gold gel dots to the diamonds on the right one.

"A" exemplar. On white 110# cardstock using various tools (Zig Writer - fine tip and bullet tip, 6.0 Parallel pen and Sumi ink,  Pentel Pocket Brush, Graphite pencil)

since I've done an alphabet based on a rectangle I figure I'd try one based on a circle... Using a circle template (1/2") created this alphabet. It's got potential for adding dots and diamonds for decoration...

Colored with Prisma colored pencils and some Lyra Color Giant pencils.

I really like playing with the ink in the bottle for a writing implement.

Decorated "Y". Penciled  in my "Y" letter on black Recollections cardstock and then using a Zeba G nib and Bleed Proof white ink created my design elements within the lines.

 I really like creating this kind of letter...

More of these fun letters. Did another "Y" and a "G". They're both approx 1.5"w x 2"h

The "Y" is Bleed Proof white with a pointed nib and colored with Prisma colored pencils on black Recollections c/s.
