After taking Joanne Sharpe's first Lettering Love class (open forever so I can go back and review the videos whenever...), I signed up for her second class as well -
Artful Alphabets. We'll be learning 25 alphas over 5 weeks....I'm moving a little slowly - I think she's on alpha 10 and I'm only on 5, but I like that I can proceed at my own pace - the videos will always be there.
She starts off very basic (won't bother showing you those) then starts building and encouraging us to show some flair.
The cursive alpha is one that seems to have given others trouble, but since I still use most of the cursive letters in my writing, it wasn't too tough. The hard part is to connect them all and not lift the pen. Hmmm
Take our print alpha and fatten one segment, then add doodles - she shows 4 but encourages us to experiment....Here are my trials.
Take your own print and thicken it up. Then I tried some phrases.
Still need work, but fun so far..... (I'm sure you can join Joanne's class at any time - she makes each alpha easy with a video and PDF).
I'm sharing this with
Artists in Blogland Saturday roundup and also
Creative Every Day. This week I worked on my lettering, on my photography (IA words prompt), my ALAW project using Zentangles, and shared progress in my altered book. A fun week!
