Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Envelopes

 Greetings from frigid Indy!

I've spent most of the week working on wedding invitation envelopes, and I haven't had much time for playing.  Thanks to Jane Royal's blog, I did decide to spend some Christmas money on THIS.  I look forward to receiving and playing with it. :)  In the meantime, here are two envelopes I did this week.

Both envelopes were done with a Zebra G nib. For the one in the top image, I used Moon Palace Sumi. For the one in the bottom image, I mixed and used Winsor & Newton Designers Gouaches.

(Naples Yellow and Permanent White) 

Hope you have a great weekend!

Flourish Friday - Procrastination Quote

My kids are back at Purdue University, and so I am back to writing them letters each week.  No doubt this quote made them roll their eyes. :)  I made the marbled paper at the Round Robin during the 2009 IAMPETH Convention in Nashville.  It was an acrylic paint in shaving cream technique. I'm sure you could find an online tutorial for it, if you're interested.  I used a Zebra G nib and Winsor & Newton Designer's Gouache.  I used blue ZIG markers for the envelopes (Brushable, Writer and Wink of Stella).

I hope you've had a great week!

I'm sorry I haven't been around to visit all my favorite bloggers lately. I need to get out more! :)

Flourish Friday - Printer Follow Up

 Thanks to all of you that offered advice regarding large format printers. (see this post)

I decided to purchase an Epson R2000. Although I have only made 3 prints thus far, I am very pleased with the results.

Using Photoshop, I added a few more flourishes to my Psalm 100 piece that I started in November. This is one of the prints I've made. It measures 12" x 40", is printed on Arches Text Wove, and is currently hanging on my fridge. :)

Happy Flourish Friday!

I hope you have a great weekend.
