April is National Letter Writing Month, and in honor of that, Paper & Ink Arts is hosting a contest. They are asking that letters be written to them and then they will choose 3 winners: Most Creative, Staff Fave and a Random selection. No idea what the prizes are, but I'd love to win!
I came up with numerous ideas, and submitted about 5. I will publish those over the next few days.
Here is my first entry:
Although my uncial lettering with this didn't turn out as great as I wanted,
I still submitted for the creativity.
Used my chisel-tip paint shaper tool, and acrylic ink. For "Arts", I used my extra fine point Posca pen.
For the letter, I just did matching colors & lettering vs. matching paper. Used my Speedball C-2 nib for the blue (India ink) uncial, and my C-5 nib for the smaller white uncial. Then, I tried to duplicate the acrylic paint at the top (again, in uncial, "hi"), but didn't like, so I added "hello" over it with another extra fine point Posca pen.
