After all of the left-brain work of measuring, calculating and planning that I am doing for the Melbourne job, I really wanted to just go do something light and breezy.
And I did!
This is a playful alphabet called the button alphabet, designed originally by Peter Thornton.
I picked up a 6.0mm parallel pen, popped in a red ink cartridge without rinsing to the nib from its previous black ink and started to see if I could write this alphabet.
I had such fun and will definitely do it again.
The alphabet with a few variations and lots of less than perfect looking letters.
A quick go at writing names - not too bad.
And then a couple of phrases/words.
And on grey card as well.
Which I decided to make into cards.
A fun and very fruitful little while in the studio - it was good to get inky again and do some letters by hand and have so much fun doing it!
