Calligraphy Flourish Friday- Romans 5:8

Happy Friday!  This is a work in progress. My apologies for such a small image.

The lettering was done with a Zebra G and Moon Palace Sumi.  Tom and I are away.  We are celebrating our anniversary by driving a circle tour around Lake Michigan.  I scheduled this week's (and last week's) Flourish Friday to post automatically, so I'm sorry if you've tried to contact me and haven't received a response.  We'll be back in a few days.

Enjoy your weekend!

Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Bible Verse Commission

Just a few photos from a commission I did this week. The client is giving it as a birthday gift to her mother.  It's a passage of scripture from Philippians 2.

I did the lettering with Moon Palace Sumi and a Zebra G nib.  This is a pointed pen variation that I created, and I call it "Whimsical."

I hope you are having a good week. The weather is cool and crisp here in central Indiana.  I love this time of year.  Go put a little flourish in your Friday!

Calligraphy Flourish Friday -Psalm 56:9

Hello friends.

Here is a quick piece done in Photoshop. (Wow! Did I just say that?) I borrowed parts from a couple of existing pieces.  This verse is a strong and comforting reminder to me.

We packed and moved Rachel and Matt up to Purdue yesterday. The summer went by so fast. Matt is there to stay. Rach came back, but only for the weekend. Other areas of my life seem disorganized. My studio is in chaos right now with several different things going on. I like things neat and orderly in my life, so I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

....but this I know

God is for me.

Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed today too.

I hope you find comfort in this verse.

Enjoy your weekend!

((Hugs))

Calligraphy Flourish Friday - Mandala and Bible Verses

©Jane Farr Calligraphy & Design LLC

I made a few cards this week. The above mandala was done with Moon Palace Sumi and a Zebra G. I wanted to add some corner flourishes. I'm not in love with these corners, but there are parts I'm in like with. :)  More practice and refinement is needed.

For the Psalm 23:4 card I used gouache, a flat brush, and a Hiro 700 nib. I went back over parts of the flower with the same color gouache mixed with Peal Ex powder.  It still need something, so I added some touches of Dr. Martin's Bleedproof White to the center of the flower.

 I am trying to be more disciplined about lettering bible verses.  During my quiet time, I'm always jotting down scripture references which I intend to letter "someday."  For this week at least, I actually followed through on a couple.  Both Isaiah 54:10 and Hebrews 6:19 were done with Moon Palace Sumi and a Zebra G comic nib.

Thank you all for your continued support of A Place to Flourish.

I appreciate your comments and emails.  I enjoy my wedding calligraphy business very much, but your support spurs me on to include other types of lettering in my daily life.

Enjoy your weekend!
