Celtic Knotwork - Dreams

Continuing on from Pauline's Celtic Letters class last month. Thought I'd play with all 3 BIG GRIN. This was the 2nd exemplar. I think it's my favorite of the 3...

Dreams Be Your Wings:
size: 7"w x 6"h
Again used the ArtQuest w/c for the main knotwork of the letters then Prisma colored pencils, graphite shading.
words: Let your dreams be your wings.

Celtic Knotwork Lettering - Dream On

Edmonton Calligraphy Society had Pauline Baynes teaching Celtic Letters last month. I was not able to attend but she was kind enough to allow me the handouts. Love all the variations but they are definitely time consuming... She gave 3 exemplars and I thought I'd play with all 3 BIG GRIN. This was the 1st exemplar.

Dream On:
size: 7"w x 5"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper,
Outlined with a ZIG Writer, painted with US Art Quest Mica w/c Metallic set, 2B Grafwood pencil and paper stump shadow.
words: Dream On and make them come true.

Hearts - Love Me Tender

size: 4.5"w x 6"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper created the words with a Zig Writer in a funky lettering style then added the hatching using a red Juice Up pen. Added the hearts with a gold Uniball Signo pen and added graphite shading. Text with a black Juice Up pen.

words: Love Me Tender Love me true never let me go. Elvis Presley Lyrics

Rocks In Its Bed

size: 7"w x 3.25"h
I had this end piece of St Armand w/c paper and just started doodling rock shapes using a ZIG Writer and graphite 2B pencil with paper stump. Text written with the Juice Up pen.
words: If it wasn't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song. Carl Perkins

Bow - Bows & Bling

size: 6" sq
On Genoa Bond paper drew out my bow using a ZIG Writer, adding gaphite shading and a holograph sticker.
Lettering with a broad edge red ZIG calligraphy pen in a funky style. Shadowed with a Juice Up pen.
words: Bows And Bling It's A Girl Thing
