stella - diamonds

i started doing my own version of some lettering that looked quite a bit like this and then added the lines -without penciling first- which was a mistake. it was all out of whack, so i added the diamonds and now i don't know what to do with it because it's not working for me, but it's so darn happy - papadopoulos is a challenge... i would need to do a couple hundred to really get a feel for how to make it pretty every time without penciling first. maybe i need her middle name so that the first and middle names balance the last name.

  1. I can see some exploding fireworks...or abacus beads on the lines....or laundry hanging out to dry in a stiff wind....

  2. My eyes are looking at it all and it really works great for me! Maybe you can put her address where you might put her middle name.

  5. and since we are both introverts, we won't advertise. we'll just leave cryptic messages about where we are holding the workshop and if people can figure it out, they can just show up.
