keepers


this has always been a favorite. i remember doing it very quickly, with no planning. i used the scroll tip on a zig marker, holding it the wrong direction so that only one half of the nib touched the paper and the envelope was turned 90 degrees to the right. you can see the strokes were made horizontally from left to right. on the *l* you can see how i jerked back a little at the end of the stroke. i had to rotate the envelope to do the bowl o the a, b and e. this is from a series of envelopes that i intended to mail, but i liked them so much, i kept them.

    This is going to be a spectacular series!
