ECS April 2021 Challenge

ECS (Edmonton Calligraphy Society) April 2021 Challenge was to create 3 versions of the same quote. Since I had done something I like for the Scribbled Lives challenge, I thought I'd expand on that one. Plus I'm doing some of the homework for my Italics class with Barbara Close...

ECS - Rainbow - Flag Booklet

I'm doing this project for 2 challenges...one for the Edmonton Calligraphy Society where the challenge for March was anything "Rainbow", and also for our Art Of The Fold Facebook group for April 6th meeting. We decided to do more flag books for our next meeting or/and plus anything you'd like to do...

I'm really pleased with the outcome of this flag booklet. All my pages finally lay flat when stretched out so everything can be read.

I'm also using some of my cherished Ruche (very heavy/thk) paper which I bought when Scrapbooker's Paradise was around... for the decorative elements. And for the main "rainbow" word I inked a Copic extra wide modified nib with 3 colors of alcohol ink.

ECS Challenge - Rainbows -Friends Are Like

ECS March Challenge - Rainbows -Friends Are Like. Thought I'd do this months Edmonton Calligraphy Society challenge... Rainbows are such a nice topic.

I altered a Copic extra wide pen to do calligraphy with it, and altered it again to create my "rainbows" word. I'm happy. I'm going to Kensington Art Supply on Monday so will splurge on a bunch more copic stuff... It should come in handy for a Copic ZOOM class I'm taking on Saturday (6hrs I'm going to be pooped...)
