Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Sue

Regarding last week's post. Yes. Of course, you're right -  creating Valentines in January is rather proactive. As those readers who have followed A Place to Flourish for any length of time realize, writing and grammar are not my strong suit.  What I was trying to say was that I procrastinate getting things loaded into my Etsy shop. I still have a handful of Valentines to load into my shop.  It's the process of taking photos, uploading them, writing descriptions, etc. that I put off.  I can usually find something else to do. :)

This past week has been a difficult one. Tom's sister, Sue, died very unexpectedly.  We soldiered our way through the arrangements and the funeral in Ohio, but now that we are back home, the sadness is really starting to sink in.  I was thinking of her last night, and decided to letter her name. I used a 6 Automatic Pen and walnut ink.  A big drip hit the paper, and as I lifted the paper to wipe up the mess underneath, the "e" ran.  I guess it's like a teardrop and rather fitting. I went back in with gold gouache and a Hunt 22 for the flourishes on the "S".

Once I get caught up on my workload, I look forward to seeing what all my friends in Blogland have been up to.  I know that will lift my spirits!! :)

Happy weekend Dear Friends!
