I had just a bit of time to play in my Moleskine last night. I don't think the quote and lettering style work well together, but oh well. I like the flourishy border. I tried playing with the 0s. I'm a calligraphy geek, I guess. I liked the o in this post by Lori Vliegen of Elvie Studio. (Which I just now "got" that Elvie is LV for Lori's initials. Obviously, I am not the brightest scribe in the scriptorium.) I think this is a great quote. Before John Wooden was the Wizard of Westwood, he was a Boilermaker! I admire the way he's lived his life, and I believe he's a good role model. If you click on his name, it will take you to his official site and you can learn more about Coach Wooden. Happy Flourish Friday everyone!
Jane - I love your lettering style for this quote. It gives it "life" in the present. Lisa E. and Rosie Kelly have really influenced me - I am taking on a more individual expressive approach to my own lettering. By the way, I love your blog and visit often!
ReplyDeleteLove this page, Jane. I love the fun lettering and the flourished border. Yes, Lori's o is great. All of Lori's letters are great! LV --elvie--I think that is so clever---just like her!
