ECS Env Exchange - Feb 2026 - Edwina Klein

Looks like I got Edwina for a 2nd month...

Env done on Genoa Bond paper in a Western style lettering using the 5.0 end of a ZIG black calligraphy pen, a red pen and adding Uniball gold gel pen dots.

Artwork was made a few years back in Gemma Blacks class. I mounted it onto a light brownish base and then onto a white card base.

Accordion Glued Spine - Cowboy Proverbs

My Guild (BVCG) gave us a challenge of Cowboy Sayings... I created a couple larger pieces and submitted them... but then I was thinking that there were so many more I wanted to play with... so created a booklet of them.

I was looking for something else and found these papers in the back of the drawer and decided to use them for this booklet. It has a lovely texture. The paper is called Ruche paper because of the crinkly effect in it. It has a weight feel of about 100# although I have no idea what it is advertised as. I have it in several colors and decided to use the beige and deep brown (cowboy colors). Text is written in a western type font called "Cowboy-Movie font. A little time consuming but I like the effect.

The booklet has 16 dark brown pages plus the beige cover which is an accordion fold glued spine with folded over covers for additional strength.
