Oops this is a repeat. But, I have an announcement below.
This one got lost in the shuffle. I'm pretty sure it has not been posted. In some ways, it seems to have be exactly what I am looking for in my project to take a style and mess around with it. The term to *mess around* sounds sloppy or haphazard. Maybe riff is a better word. Maybe improvise. Both of those terms seem more musical - but maybe they are fine. Maybe I am over thinking it.
I like the way I went a little larger with the triangle/serifs. I think the rectangle on the G is very complementary to the triangles. I like that the holly leaf turned into its own element. It got to be larger and easy letter only gets one. Then - each letter has one piece of scrolls-spiral. The triangle on the C should have been al little larger - but I like the bottom of the C and am glad I didn't stick a triangle down there. The G's triangle should have been larger.
I'm happy with this one and it looks like the Style/Tool Project might be a good idea for 2026. I already started my idea for Feb - and it is only Dec 26. Now I have to ponder whether I truly stick to one style for each month. That would mean I only do 12 styles for the whole year... and there are 24 styles on my list - not counting fonts. I guess it's a two year project.

If you look at a web view of the blog you will see a column of options on the right. One of them is My Blog List. This is a list of blogs that I have kept to 5 for quite some time. It could easily grow - but, I hesitate to provide even more distractions for people who might have other things they should be doing.
I have added Ann B. Miller's blog because she teaches and is a cornucopia of information and ideas. Currently she is covering runes and styles that dovetail nicely with what I've started. So, if you are interested in lettering, check it out. The main part of her blog is free and she wrote that she is keeping it that way. She also has the option to pay the monthly fee for extras.
