"Flowers" for Nele

In July 2021, I had my "Takeover Week" on IG for Paper & Ink arts, and one of the items I created was this piece (which showcased my RW):

I decided to recreate for Nele, but used a diff. quote (and had to size down).

I did the env. to match!

Comparing both pieces.


Env. w/stamp. Used green India ink and my RW. The "flowers" are done with a Q-tip. White India ink for her name.

Just the piece. Using my pp for some pp uncial! (I had to paste over original, as I messed up. grrr! BUT I love how this turned out! Hope she likes too)


Backside. "Surprise!" in green metallic ink.

I'm SO thrilled to send more items to Nele, as I am on a creative roll. I have so many ideas. I think I've "cheated" Nele in the past, as I wasn't sure what to send her, and was more focused on the env. art. 
But now, I have more ideas AND I'm more confident in my lettering! Plus, I'm motivated ever since she sent me her wall hanging; knowing she is displaying my art for her enjoyment. Time to up my game!
