This lettering was done with an Esterbrook 355 nib and Winsor & Newton Indigo Designer Gouache. I made the background paper during Artiscape 2010 in Jacqueline Sullivan's "Experimental Water Media" workshop. (Read about that here.) This is the last verse from the old hymn "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" by James M. Black.
The lettering on this baby card was done with the same nib and gouache. I made the "J" template from my own lettering. The little drop out piece at the very top of the J was sure tricky to get glued down at the correct angle.

ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteI love that hymn and haven't heard it in such a long time. It looks beautiful against the background. The baby card is lovely too. You always do such beautiful work. Thanks for sharing it with us. Linda E.
Both are looking stunning!
ReplyDeleteJust a curious, its a self made embossing ya some machine thing?
Really Nice.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments! The embossing is done by hand. I made the template using bristol board and a good 'ol Exacto knife. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Jane! Love the embossed J! Very inspiring...
ReplyDeleteYour pointed pen variation is just wonderful. It's a fabulous Flourish Friday project.
Hugs,
