Welcome to day 36 of daily creative practice on our junk journaling journey! We are diving into some lettering books to try A-B-C Love Lettering. Mixed Media at its most fun. You won’t want to miss it. Please scroll down to view the video. Thank you.
A-B-C Love Lettering
First I wanted to show you a couple of book subjects that we will be using for future projects. Today we are reviewing lettering with a sketchbook. So let’s start having some fun by playing with letters. I found some splendid Valentine’s day tissue paper to use in the background with our lettering project.
I start by tearing several random pieces to set with a glue stick on the page, then burnish them down. Make sure the glue is dry before proceeding to prevent tearing. We can also draw some hearts if we wish. Now I will use a red colored calligraphy pen and draw some letters. The tip of this pen is designed to make it easy to customize lettering of course as you see in the video.
I am sticking with just A, B, and C here today to keep it basic as we practice lettering. Notice the dimension produced with with the C letter by widening it in the two curvy sections. Drawing these letters is certainly not an exact science, as you can use your imagination to create whatever makes you happy. I’m going with ‘love’ and custom hearts with lines and dots. I decided (after making a mess) to use an old trick of using a paint brush to brace my hand on and prevent it from getting further into the paint.
I think we will do three letters in succession every Wednesday of the week until we complete our journey together. So get in your sketchbook or journal, use any kind of pen, and let your creativity flow as you practice customizing the letters. Remember that whatever you make is your own unique and special creation!!
