abracadabra to Shannon

I had fun with this but am not happy with her name (Wish I had done a pointed pen version of some kind. At the same time, i find her name harder & harder to letter. I think it's b/c of the double letters.)

This was an old sheet of scrapbook paper (see below) so I decided to convert. Used my Ruling Writer and sumi ink to letter "abracadabra", then in gold script added words from Shakespeare's "Song of the Witches". After that I watercolored over and added the same colors within the big word with color pencils.

Easy to dupe for next year but will do a folded insert to match.

I created another fall-themed mini book (The ABC's of Autumn) trying to pen a poem as well, but beings the poem was an afterthought, it didn't turn out. I need to re-work.
