mary katherine's doodly envelope

mary katherine said that this was another *doodly* one. it's a very cool pattern. i think it is a step above doodling. but, that's splitting hairs. it's way fun.

she also says that she does not do any writing with dip pens, just faux-calligraphy where she writes in script and then fattens the down strokes. i am going to try to lure her into the world of real nibs and ink.

if any other readers of the blog are interested in a long distance lesson - or series of lessons, let me know. it's really fun to write with nibs and ink. you just need to know a couple secrets and i am happy to let anyone and everyone in on the secrets.

send me an email at jmwilson411 at yahoo dot com so i know how many are interested. then i will start the lessons, mixed in with the envelopes. or -on the envelopes.

  1. I keep wanting to see recognizable shapes in this one.

    This design would have been perfect for the 'Le Labyrinthe' mail art call.
