Size: 7"sq
On Edge Mixed Media using a Zig Writer and Juice Up pen for the outlining the lettering and coloring with metallic gel pens. Added the large dots with Stickles "Thistle" glitter
words: 2025 - New Beginnings
I created the abstract design using ovals while playing with the gals.
At my recent BVCG Play Day I created this abstract design and then decided to add the quote in the larger circles...
MAYBE: same as "YES" except for using 3 colors (olive green, Magenta and Gold). Shadowed with the Zig Writer. Same text style.
words: Maybe or maybe not.
Our challenge for our December meeting will be the Crown Book #15 from Hedi Kyle's "Art Of The Fold" book. Last time I did this book was in July of 2021. This one is a bit smaller.

Today was supposed to be day 2 for our Uncial class with Barb Fuller... but we had a dump of over a foot of snow with frigid temps... and the roads needless to say were not good, so I cancelled going to class - sigh. Instead I created my version of an illuminated letter picking a "Y" for my name and than getting a quote to fit the oversize letter.
size: 8.5"w x 5.5"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper drew out the large "Y" and then the autumn leaves around it in an oval shape using a brand new Sharpie fine tip pen. Painted with watercolors and Kuretake Mica Gold ink. I doodled into the letter before painting using a small balled stylus.
I left the Madagascar style lettering plain.

I'm taking a 2 day class with Barb Fuller (a BVCG Guild Member) in Uncials. It's one of my favorite hands... but does take up a lot of room especially since I don't like using small nibs...

On Canson Pro Marker paper I used a Simply Simons #10 chisel brush (for both "Yes's") - which is a touch smaller than 1/2" and loaded it with water - one letter at a time. Dropped in Ecoline inks into the wetness. Blotted it a bit so it would dry faster...
Top Yes: shadowed on the right side with a Caran c'Ache B pencil and paper stump. Outlined on the left side with a medium toned blue Juice Up pen.
Bottom Yes: wrote the text with a black Juice Up pen and used a yellow colored pencil to shade around the words.
words: YES is a good word
