necklace


if i had this one to do over, i would do something a little better for the beads. i am happy with the style of the letters. i probably did a pencil line first to get the beads centered.

notice the address, it has a neuland flavor to it. that's why i have you doing the letters with a regular pen. serious scribes probably think it is a crime to start this way. i agree. romans would be a better style to learn for fine lettering. but this is not about being serious or *fine*... it's about dropping envelopes in the mail, taking a few minutes to do something fun before you get back to the jobs or chores. it's a sneaky back door way into lettering. i know it is wrong. but it's a guilty pleasure.
