done quickly, kind of wonky, sometimes wonky is more playful than drawing a perfect square, notice how the overlapping lines of the marker don't even matter, another layer of wonkiness makes the original wonky look fine. white gel pen used to make the perforated edge on the black border. the address is wonky. nothin' wrong with a little wonky. jackie never complained.
The *wonky* ones were usually my favorites of Jean's pieces. They would lead me to try things that might never have occurred to me otherwise.
ReplyDeletewon't it be funny if this turns into a blog where you and i post back and forth and nobody else even looks at it?
ReplyDeleteWell, this series is already out of order - not surprisingly - so there's really no need to finish in a timely fashion. My suggestion at this point: Campbell's Soup Cans.
ReplyDeletein addition to our envelopes and our blogs, should we try carrier pigeons?
ReplyDeleteYou don't need carrier pigeons, Jean, I got here on my own steam!
ReplyDeleteLove all your envelopes. You have a real knack for pulling them off. I'll keep checking in on a regular basis. I'm watching the Olympics while trying to make a full alphabet of your "Jackie" monoline using a pigma and my jellies. I think this would be a good thing to teach at my next calligraphy guild meeting.
yes, this would make a good guild topic. tell everyone to bring old stamps and use the stamps to inspire different color schemes
