Calligraphy Flourish Friday


This is a mandala I already had done and scanned.  With Photoshop Elements I removed the initial in the center and then changed the colors.  I'm not sure why I can't enlarge it without it getting so blurry and pixelated. Hopefully it doesn't look too bad here. 


I finished my paste paper book.  If you would like to see it in page by page order you can click here.
I used a quote by Leo Buscaglia which I love.

We are having some work done in our house. If I don't get off the computer, I will be trapped in this room for the rest of the day.  I can't have that - because I would miss all the great, college basketball that's on tv today. :-)

Have a great weekend...Go forth and flourish!!

  1. Jane, I love your flourish! You did a great job.

    I know the frustrations of Photoshop, as I am working with it today. You can reduce, but not increase, or things become pixalated.

    It looks great from here though!

    It is all basketball in my house this weekend too! ;0

    Have a fun weekend!

  7. Hi Jane, Lovely stuff!
    The sharpness of your image depends on the resolution you scan at - just send me an email if you want me to clarify it for you. Rx.
