Mini Booklet - Do What Makes You Happy


 I made this booklet a while back and when searching for something else (again...) came across it... I figured I'd finish it.
size: 4.5"w x 6"h x .25" thk.
It's made with a bunch of various watercolor backgrounds on watercolor paper I was playing around with at the time... 4 sheets folded in half and rusty red waxed linen thread binding (can't remember what it's called... sigh)
It's not that often I do regular calligraphy... but since the cover and 1 page already had that style I figured to continue with it. Done with a 1.5 Parallel pen dipped into Sumi ink and I think I a kind of Italic style - beats me they all look the same... 

 
WORDS: words: every day is a fresh beginning, a blank canvas to paint upon.

It's not a sin to get knocked down; it's a sin to stay down. Carl Brasheap

if you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl,
but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. Martin Luther King Jr.

our greatest weakness lies in giving up, the most certain way to succeed
is always to try just one more time. Thomas Edison

when obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal;
you do not change your decision to get there. Zig Ziglar

endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by. Ovid

at the end of the day rest, take a deep breath, smile and start again.

A beautiful finish, Yogi. I always enjoy the quotes, too.
