Calligraphy Valentine Cards - Flourish Friday

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC
 Here are some images of flourished Valentines I did recently to list in my Etsy Shop...my exceedingly anemic Etsy shop.  If I actually produced every piece I think of creating to put in my shop, then I would have a very, robust shop! :)

 I don't have all the Valentine pieces listed yet, because I am the Queen of Procrastination.  Actually, I have been the Queen of the Land of Wedding Invitation Envelopes.  January use to be a slow time, when I could play and try new things, but I am happy to have the work.

 I used a Hunt 22 Nib and Schmincke Red Pearl gouache.

I enjoyed creating these and making each one a little different.

Unfortunately, you can't really tell how beautiful the Red Pearl gouache is from these images.

I have been practicing working very small. I've also been trying to lighten my touch in order to get super, thin hairlines.

For my practice, I used a Brause 515 and Dr. Martin's Bleedproof White.
Back to the lightboard!
Have a great and flourishy weekend everyone!
