Calligraphy Flourish Friday - For Katrina's Sun-Dial

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC
Is it Friday already?!  I am meeting myself coming and going this week, so for today's Flourish Friday I am showing a piece I did for an exchange in 2007.  I chose this particular piece because I feel the poetry of Henry Van Dyke may have special significance to a few of you this week.  I hope you like it.

 I usually keep notes of the media, nibs, process, and techniques I have used for client work.  Unfortunately, I didn't do that for this exchange piece.  It's too bad, because I like the background and would like to try it again. I can figure out how I did most of it, but the jagged edge of the background has me stumped.  (Note to self: always take notes!) :)

Go forth and Flourish!

  4. The jagged edge makes it look three dimensional, whatever you did it was very effective.

  7. Jane,
    This really is a winner, and like you, I'd like to know how you made that background look so dimensional! BTW, your pointed pen is to die for... I often use it to practice with... you know, try to make mine look as lively and interesting as yours. Unfortunately I do not achieve Jane Farr's pointed pen beauty no matter how hard I try!!! :D
